free reproductive health quiz:
Over 40% of all Ayurvedic practitioners focus on pre-natal and post-partum care, reflecting Ayurveda's focus, insight, and interest in on fertility, pregnancy, and children. The first trimester is Kapha, second trimester Pitta, and last trimester Vata. Vata surges after birth but is replaced by Kapha during most of the breast feeding stage.
Home births may offer moms the best opportunities for natural care. Home births have signficantly lower morbidity than hospital births, with a ten times lower C-section rate. Hospital C-sections are usually the result of labor induction, and other interventions.
To protect the fetus, pregnancy hormones calm the immune system. This can lead to increased risk of infection and/or cancer during pregnancy.
The increase in progesterone raises temperature and relaxes muscles and ligaments. Pregnancy tends to increase Kapha/dampness, heat, laxity, and weakness in the body. This can be felt in the pulse - which will be slippery, bounding, and wide.
Nutritives, pre and perinatal vitamins are essential in early pregnancy when the baby's organs are forming. Raspberry, black haw, and cramp bark were traditionally taken throughout pregnancy. Alteratives such as turmeric and amalaki can ensure high quality blood chemistry. In the 3rd trimester, consider partus preparatur herbs. Partridge berry can prevent varicose veins / blood stasis.

CURRENTLY PREGNANT IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0 - POTENTIAL CAUSE
Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics,
causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control.
For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease.
As a dosha or biocharacteristic accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits,
it is more and more likely to cause disease.
You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle,
as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices.
For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper.

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 biocharacteristics (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.
