Reframing your mindset is so important to shift your body away from the fight-or-flight stress response, especially since stress can lower your immune system. #staysafe #stayhealthy

Officially forty days postpartum // And now I have time to read some good (baby-related) books The first forty days is a period unlike any other. It is a short season of life that follows the delivery of your childan almost six-week-long period that arrives after many weeks of pregnancy and who knows how many hours of labourin which you recover from birth, your baby unfurls slowly into the world of bright lights and sounds, and together you devote yourselves to forgin...g your relationship outside the womb. Though brief, it is a time of amazing intensity and massive adjustment. Your body transformsagainand your heart throbs with more feelings than you ever knew possible. Your internal rhythms ping-pong as days and nights merge. Your stamina and serenity get tested like never before. Your connections to the world you knew before loosen, or even come undone, and your sense of who you are begins to change and morph. - @thefirstfortydays @motherbees #thefirstfortydays #thewonderweeks #simplicityparenting #thehappiestkidsintheworld #naturalmedicineforchildren #fourthtrimester #postpartumcare #motherhood #nourishingthenewmother #newmom #readingmaterial
Here’s a cute tbt of my nephew, Camden at 8 months. And some tips on surviving the flu season with kids: 1. Please be mindful when visiting babies. Wash your hands, don’t kiss them, or stay away especially if you’re sick. 2. Hydrate with soup, broths, teas, smoothies.... 3. Teas: chamomile, peppermint, lemon balm 4. Elderberry syrup can work great to shorten the duration when taken at early signs. 1 tsp 3x/day for kids >2 years old. 5. Wet socks aka magic socks are so helpful to break up congestion and bring a fever down. Look it up 6. Remember that a fever is the body’s way of working the immune system and fighting the infection. But always know when to seek medical help. 7. Lots of love and snuggles! #naturopathicmedicine #fluseason #rsvseason #healthykids #tbt #throwbackthursday #herbs #germs #washyourhands #elderberrysyrup #wetsocks #magicsocks #hydrotherapy #fever #feeltheheal #360healingcentre

During pregnancy, the body produces the hormone relaxin, which helps in preparation for childbirth. Relaxin also loosens ligaments, causing less stability. Many women experience back pain as the belly grows larger, and the muscles and spine strain to carry the extra weight. Here’s what’s been helping me ease the back pain and get through the third trimester: Osteopathy & massage therapy treatments Prenatal Pilates & Yoga ...

Echinacea is a coneflower plant that has been used for thousands of years to support the immune system. The ROOT in particular (not the flowers or the whole plant) helps to strengthen our body’s natural defence mechanism. So make sure you’re getting a professional quality supplement. A study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal found that Echinacea cuts the chances of catching a common cold by 60% And it also reduces the duration of the common cold by almos...t two days. *The key is to take it regularly throughout flu season or to take it as soon as you feel a cold coming on. #winteriscoming #fluseason #flowerfriday #herbalmedicine #naturalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #echinacea #echinaceapurpurea #echinaceaangustifolia

After a long work week, acupuncture can be a helpful treatment to alleviate stress.

Nutritionally, breast milk is a complete and perfect food, an ideal combination of proteins, fat, carbohydrates, and nutrients. Even before babies have any concept of time, breast milk helps them understand certain hours from other hours, night from day. Milk is so incredibly dynamic. There are hormones in breast milk, and they reflect the hormones in the mother's circulation. The ones that help facilitate sleep or waking up are present in your milk. And day milk is going t...o have a completely different hormonal milieu than night milk. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #WorldHealthOrganization World Health Organization (WHO) https://www.thestranger.com//the-more-i-learn-about-breast

The guidelines are a response to new evidence that shows many women are safely able to vaginally deliver babies who enter the birth canal with the buttocks or feet first. Normally, the infant descends head first. #breechbaby
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), research indicates "that one of the most effective tools to improve labor and delivery outcomes is the continuous presence of support personnel, such as a doula."

ALLERGY SZN! (I mean spring is finally here! ) I suffered from terrible seasonal allergies as a kid & teenand I’m here to tell you that you can get rid of the itchy, watery eyes, scratchy throat, sniffling and sneezing forever. One of the not so obvious cures is to start by healing your gut, alongside the use of natural supplements that tame your body’s allergic reaction, strengthen your nasal and breathing pathways, and also boost your immune system. ... I put many of my patients on an allergy-free treatment plan and I’ve seen great results!

Cosmetic acupuncture can improve the look and health of your skin. The fine facial needles improve blood flow and stimulate circulation to increase collagen production, reduce acne scarring, decrease fine lines and brighten dull skin. It’s a natural face-lift! You’ll notice an overall brightness and glow to your skin after the first treatment. I also include other points to balance your mind and body since how your skin looks on the outside is a reflection of what is happening on the inside. #cosmeticacupuncture #skincare #feeltheheal #facialacupuncture #skinglow #facialrejuvenation #flawless #acupuncture #tcm #radiantskin #youglowgirl #traditonalchinesemedicine #collagen #hormones #naturopathicmedicine #acne #holistichealthcare #antiaging #truebeauty #greenbeauty #relaxation #naturopathicdoctor #naturalskincare #mindbody

Meghan Markle’s birth plan includes a doula! She’s also getting acupuncture treatments, which are helpful for relaxation and for increasing circulation & blood flow to the uterus. As an ND Doula, I also provide acupuncture treatments to my patients, and I find it so beneficial even during labour. I love supporting women through this transition to parenthood. Studies show that women who have labour support have increased self-esteem, have shorter labours, are less likely to ...have a c-section, less likely to experience postpartum depression and the list goes on. #doula #naturopathicdoula #birthdoula #doulacare #doulasupport #acupuncture #postpartumdoula #birthmatters #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathicmedicine #naturalbirth #empoweredbirth #birthplan #royalbaby #meghanmarkle #duchessofsussex West End Naturopathic Doulas https://www.vanityfair.com//inside-meghan-and-harrys-birth
