Diet , Health and Obessity after pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Dear Durgesh,

 

Not everyone gets affected equally by poisons.

 

How the obstetric intervention in normal and C-section delivery

affects both mother and child, I am very incompetant to prove, being

Ayurvedist to heart. Moreover, this subject is way out of Ayurveda

according to a scientist. However, when a case comes to an

ayurvedist, he must understand the root cause (to arrive at proper treatment)

and also, todays patient expects an ayurvedist to answer "but why this Kapha

unbalance/back pain/obessity after pregnancy? It does not occur to

everyone!, Why only me? I take only fruit juices etc."

 

Menopause related obessity gets explained by imbalance. The women who

did not become obesse after spinal anasthetics perhaps did not have

Kapha unbalance to start with. But large number of them, after

pregnancy with intervention, put up 15-25 Kg. One reason for this may

be lack of Massage, fomentation/hot bath and "Methi Laddu" by Grand-

Mas when there is C-section. In olden days, pregnant moms were given

all this when they delivered normally in home and not hospitals.

 

Hence, it was thought best to quote some literature reg. spinals or

epidurals with steroids. Since the subject matter may not be of much

interest to most of members except those who are on way to

parenthood, already obese after pregnancy or are health professional,

two files have been stored on Ayurvedaonline group files.

Since this info is way out of ayurveda, files will be deleted in a

weeks time.

anesthesia, with or without steroids.

then again, they receive a number of other medications, are generally

more sedentary, because of the pain, and do not exercise as much,

again, due to pain.
