A Holistic Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth

 Inspiring, expansive, and remarkably informative, this unique book derives its ideas from two sources: the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, with its emphasis on mind, body, and spirit, and the latest Western scientific prenatal research. Designed as a practical guide, its ideas include strategies to help enliven the body intelligence of unborn babies by nourishing each of their five senses, as well as Ayurvedically balanced nutrition, specific yoga poses and meditation techniques to reduce the mother’s stress and improve the infant’s emotional environment. It also covers natural approaches to dealing with the first weeks of parenting, from healing herbs to enhancing your milk supply to coping with postpartum depression. An inspired book rich with information that will profoundly enhance the experience of pregnancy and birth for both parents and their babies.
