Female Reproductive System: Pregnancy, Delivery, Postpartum, Breast Health, & Lactation

Female Reproductive System: Pregnancy, Delivery, Postpartum, Breast Health, & Lactation

Nurturing - Relief - Holistic

The herbs offer a more easeful pregnancy, delivery, and beyond.
"The kidneys are associated with the reproductive system in Chinese medicine and very often we see this connection, which we will mention in our class. However, this subject will also be taken up on female and male reproduction and endocrine classes. The adrenals, sitting atop the kidneys, will not be described here in detail--see the endocrine class." - Matthew Wood

A healthier, happier transition into motherhood!

The previous discussion of the uterus nudges us towards these subjects. We do not cover fertility in this class (this will be a separate class), but we do cover issues that arise from pregnancy, delivery, postpartum recovery, and lactation. Breast health: pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, lactation, and post-lactation; tendon and muscular tone, lymphatics, and milk ducts.

"In the female reproductive system, the bladder, vagina, and uterus are tied together by location and influence of function. The uterus sits atop the bladder and the vagina sits next to it. Oftentimes, the health of the bladder and the health of the vagina become interconnected as they are both mucous membrane tissues. This is especially true in the area of bacterial infection of the bladder." - Phyllis D. Light
