The means of coping with abortion are as diverse as parents themselves.For some, the psychological effects of abortion can be lifelong. Parents may have long term feelings of guilt over the death of their child. They may wonder what their baby would have been like. For others, the feelings of hopelessness or bitterness surrounding the pregnancy may resurface afterwards (i.e. over the inability to care for a child, or a strained relationship with the father, etc.). Others may detach themselves, relieved at not having to care for a child, and pushing away their memory of the event and process. Some are unable or unwilling to talk about the abortion. They may feel quite alone after an abortion. Others may rationalize the event in a more emotionless way - as a practical matter. When these or other uncomfortable feelings arise, seek council with a qualified therapist or spiritual advisor. Professional assistance can help those who are grieving the lost child, and/or the failed relationship. Caring for Your Body After an AbortionPhysiologically after an abortion, both Kapha and Vata are high. Kapha is aggravated during pregnancy because your body in preparing to have a baby. Nausea and weight gain are just some of the signs of increased Kapha during a pregnancy. You may experience significant weight gain and hormone shifts after the abortion.Vata is also high after an abortion or miscarriage. Loss of blood and trauma to the abdomen will cause low strength - leading to feelings of exhaustion, tiredness, or erratic metabolism. When one has any kind of surgery or trauma in the lower abdomen, it creates a vacuum for chaotic, windy vata to rush in. This can create significant emotional turmoil. A vacuum is created by a sudden empty space in your body. Vata is the dosha of not only air but ether, or empty space. This empty space in the womb invites chaotic emotions, intense sadness, anger, depression. This is Ayurveda's explanation for postpartum depression. A similar effect occurs with the termination of any pregnancy, whether through abortion, miscarriage, or full-term birth. Nurture YourselfAfter an abortion, it is essential that you nurture yourself. Apply massage oils to your belly. Stay home, and allow yourself to feel the emotions that surface, so that you can reconcile them. Holding in or suppressing emotions causes problems down the road. Eat warm, nourishing soups, with hearty breads. Take hot baths. Protect yourself from stressful situations for about a month after the abortion. Take some time off from work to reflect on what has happened.Dietary & Herbal SupportSimple herbal support and dietary choices can help both your body and mind recover from physical trauma. Here are a few suggestions.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
