Antenatal and Postnatal Care in Ayurveda
Ayurvedic texts say a pregnant woman is to be treated as delicately as if one is carrying a cup full to the brim with oil, without spilling a drop. Ayurveda, the classical natural health care system from India teaches that pregnancy is sacred and must be carefully planned and prepared. Pregnancy is a time when everything the pregnant mother tastes, sees, touches, hears, and smells should be nourishing to the mother and child.
