MissionThe Golden Month
Postpartum Care
From a TCM perspective, child birthing involves a significant loss of qi and blood. It’s imperative that the new mother use this month to relax, eat nourishing, easy digestible foods, and bond with her baby.
Many women can develop temporary or intractable symptoms from a improper post-partum care. This may manifest locally as future fertility issues or menstrual disorders, or more systemically, which may seem unrelated from a biomedical standpoint. Some common symptoms include migraines, hair loss, depression, arthritic pain, and constipation.
Naturally, you will want to frolic with your baby, especially if you give birth in April or May! During the first post-partum month complete restoration is highly recommended.
Nutritional Therapy and exercise can help your body regain its vitality. Collaborative Care will help you develop a food plan that is responsive to your body's needs.
