🤰Pregnancy: An Ayurvedic perspective⁠

Ayurveda is a system of holistic medicine that integrates health with lifestyle to restore balance and remove disease by resolving the imbalance that causes it. Ancient cultures, such as Ayurveda, recognised that how one came into the world greatly influenced one’s life. Ayurvedic techniques that support digestion, immunity, vitality, and rejuvenation can help assist women with a healthy conception, pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.⁠
