Postpartum: Chinese Medical Strategies for Restoration and Bonding- Saturday November 9th 10-4pm Baltimore 5 CEU's (NCCAOM)
After the eruption of labor, what can Chinese medicine do to restore stability to a woman's health and foster a smooth transition into postpartum life? This class looks at labor, emergency treatments, and conditions for immediate care following a birth. We consider the frequently undetected retention of the placenta and how to dislodge seeds of future diseases which can remain after a birth. We look at the Acupuncture, Herbs and Foods that are used to restore and conserve a woman's vital substances, especially during the 40 days following a birth. This class provides a logic for treating common issues with breastfeeding and hormone regulation after birth. Postpartum depression and emotional issues which inhibit a woman's transition into motherhood are discussed. We will learn keys to supporting the maternal-child bond and identity shifts during this powerful juncture. Join me for this One day class.
