Ayurveda and Pregnancy
Since many of you seem to be getting pregnant these days, let me share a little about some ayurvedic principles that apply to this very special time in your life.
In general, diet and daily routine should balance a Vata dosha. . .
Eat what you naturally desire making sure you have adequate protein and lots of fruits and veggies. Listen to your cravings, if it's unusual, it might be from your baby. Go with it!
Sweet tastes are considered best during pregnancy, breads, grains, rice and sweet fruits . . .warm sweetened milk and ghee is a classic ayurvedic night cap.
For Nausea - ayurveda recommends adding some spices to your foods and teas. Roasted cardamom seeds to snack on might help. Fennel Tea or Ginger Tea to sip on throughout the day.
Stay happy and well nourished on so many levels. Ask for company, so you don't feel lonely if your partner can't attend to you. Daily walks are ideal. Daily oil massage, massaging your belly lightly. Surround yourself with uplifting subjects and events, don't read or watch violent things.
Let me know if you want more specifics.
