New AyurDoula, membership profiles, and ashoka discussion

[Guest guest]

Dear Charlotte and all;

Thanks for taking the time for such a great intro, and a warm welcome

to you! I'd like to further the intro and draw attention for all

that Charlotte's study and AyurDoula practice focuses on labor and

delivery work, something I have not had much opportunty to weave into

my studies! Hopefully the experience of the few women I know of with

such experience will be able to offer us continuing education in the

ayruvedic ways for pregnancy and birth before long. Charlotte, if

you make it up this way to Iowa, we certainly can do some exchanging!

 

Charlotte, for your information many of the group members have little

or no familiarity with ayurveda for women around childbirth, and

there are some with various degrees of training and practice,

including midwives, nurses, doulas, and other ayurvedic

practitioners. Many of the AyurDoulas I know of have not taken the

time to join our little group - hopefully they will at some point!

 

But I expect you will find it of value ... Thank you for joining!

 

This is the first hmm, maybe not first exposure, you know how many

treasures of information are in our notes we have forgotten, anyway

first getting it about ashoka for grief. Please tell more if you

know! I know it for tonic to the uterus, excellent for repeated

miscarriage especially around high pitta as it is both so bitter and

astringent, and with the uterine specificity certainly helps direct

other herbs in a formula to address the pelvic organs.

Warm REgards;

Ysha (Martha)
