Question.....repeat miscarriage

[Guest guest]

Ladies, First off....can you exlpain what vita is? There were a few other

words, but...I can now not find them. Also, I'd like a 'beginner course'.

Is anyone up to that or point me toward a book?

 

Ok...I was reading about purifying the uterus and all and I wondered.... Is

there something in ayurveda that 'fixes' repeat miscarriages? I've had 2

children, now 6 and 7, and I've had 6 miscarriages all in the past 2 years.

 

Does anyone have anything to point me towards? Also, we're vegan and have

been since my daughter was almost a year old. We were vegetarian before

then. I was told by doctor I'd have to start taking Heparin if I want to

keep a babe. I'm not into that so I researched other ways to thin blood

since he thinks I have an unknown/not yet discovered blood clotting disorder

(nothing other than repeat miscarriage points to this.) and I am now eating

salmon, wild,...it's my medicinal fish! We're vegan due to TONS of

cancer on both sides in every generation but ours! And, there isn't going

to be.

 

But, I was really wondering if anyone would have advice or advise to

offer/share. I know ayurveda is big time into dairy, but we've dairy

allergies and that's just not an option.

Hi Honey;

For starters, please do a search on our posts this forum on the subject of

miscarriages. Then get one of the intro books on Ayurveda that also gets into

Women's health discussions. Maybe Nancy Lonsdorf's book on Women's Best

Medicine, or I think it is Ravi Svoboda who has a very nice book on the sucject

of women's health & Ayurveda with more detail. Dr. Vasant Lad's book The

complete book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies is very useful too. There are many.

But you want to look at " pacifying your pitta " big time if you come up on one of

the little body type quiz's high pitta, which is very likely for those of us

with high passion for our work or play, leaders, speakers, entrepreneurs etc

combine that with incidence high of miscarriages? Very high pitta involvement

with them. Blood and liver cleansing but needs to be done carefullyl to your

other body type/imbalance needs, which if Vegan may be needing rejuvenative

tonic herbs which are good for pitta. I;d include the herbs shatavari and

ashoka in a formula for you with whatever else comes up. '

 

Please also read the article and recipe on Ayurvedic correct use of milk which

addresses why so many have sensitivity to dairy to some extent. There are ways

it is even indicated for breast and lung cancer, 2 very specific recipes I know

of. Let us know what you think?

Dear honey

 

There is a lot in ayurveda which can fix repeating miscarriages.

Author is really surprised to read that you lost the pregnancy 6

times. If you had that much patience, surely reading another post

will not be too much additional work:

 

http://health.ayurveda/message/3499

 

This post explains food recommendations and ayurvedic " fix for

miscarriage " , i.e. Garbhpal Ras and Phal Ghruta.

 

If ovaries develop cysts, the ovum is weak. It can get fertilised but

does not hold to the uterus for long time. This can happen due to

excess pitta as well as hormonal imbalance (excess androgens)In such

cases, it is necessary to undertake PCOS treatment. Here too, some

food recommendations and ayurvedic fixes are suggested:

 

http://health.ayurveda/message/8353

 

One point for your noting: people who are allergic to dairy can take

milk after proper boiling with ginger powder, and ghee in moderate

amounts is not a problem for them at all.

 

Repeated miscarriage is not only post-conception problem.

Incompatibility between ovum and sperm also matters here. The

shortcomings in compatibility (doshas) can be compensated by special

ayurvedic treatment (under supervision, no self medication) streching

3 to 6 months. But this long wait is worth since baby is a great

source of joy, sacrifice and bliss' God resides not in church, temple

or mosque; he finds uterus as the best heavenly abode! This is the

conclusion of author after seeing misery of infertile couples!

 

From other far east corner of world, author can offer only this much.

Where would I find the body quiz. Also, if there was one book to start

with...what would you recommend? And, does anyone have any to sell or

trade/swap?

 

And, while I understand that water is cold, smooth, clear and earth is

dense, (don't get the gross part though ! )....etc... I don't see how that

connects to the body.

 

I do apologize for my ignorance! I'm going to check out the sites you

posted. Is there a list of most used terminology I could take with me to

understand? Kinda like a dictionary of terms....

 

And, when you were talking about the pitta and stronger passions...I've soared

up in birth activity these past 3 years. I'm talking like a 3000% increase.

I'm REALLY interested in that.

 

Also, I don't know how to translate this into ayurvedic terms but I KNOW I've

low progesterone levels. When I was pregnant with my live children I had levels

that looked like 3 women had been combined. But, with my angels they were

'normal'.... I KNOW that's it...progesterone yet the doctor refuses and honestly

with what I've learned... I don't know if I would want progesterone

suppossitories.

 

Also, does Diksha have anything to do with ayurveda? I've had a diksha

experience and I was told that I've done something to deserve the miscarriages.

That was incredibly hurtful...especially since I do nothing but volunteer work

and because I love birth, women and babes. Any connection?

Dear Honey - What a great string of questions! Should keep things lively among

us for a bit! I've holiday packages to get to just now, so will start with

something simple. AYurveda begins to make sense like this:

 

I understand that water is cold, smooth, clear and earth is

dense, (don't get the gross part though ! )....etc... I don't see how that

connects to the body.

 

In Ayurveda, the opposite of dryness, by the way, is oiliness, which is smooth,

transparent, fluid, and enhances connectivity even in the endocrine function.

Moisture helps too of course.

 

When we look for influences of water in the body, or want to increase them, we

can look to the qualities of what is called " water " element. For instance, when

I want to feel more connectivity and fluidity, or clarity for that matter, I

know it is time to either drink some more water (often if I feel

mentally/emotionally disorderly, spacey, or irritable) or receive a meassage (or

do a self massage) - with ample oil, not lotion or dry. This is one of the

reasons ayurvedic massage is so effective after childbirth, we have much dryness

and have lost fluids.

 

In winter, or when my fire element is not working well (irregular digestion,

hunger, appetite, drive, focus) It is very important that water I drink should

be also often, usually for me, warm, and I need to ingest and use topically as

well as in other ways sometimes, more good fats. When I'm spacey or forgetful,

I know I need more earth groundedness too, which means more dense foods,

including root vegetables and mineral rich things. With the combined

conditions, I will look for things cooked for warmth, including fibre sources.

This means minimizing raw salads, as raw salads though rough or " gross " form,

are mostly light and air element rich. They take up more space, are cold and

increase the experience of spaciness, disconnectedness, and are harder on

digestion increasing gas, bloating, and dryness. When I crave salads, I'll

choose an OILY or creamy dressing, well seasoned with garlic/ginger, pepper,

other spices (warming) with sour taste (warming) and salty taste (warming) also

for balance.

 

I usually do a fresh chutney instead - maybe big bunch fresh parsley with juice

of lemon or lime, teaspoon more or less of fresh ginger or garlic,generous salt,

1/2 tsp sweetness, maybe some fresh beet or carrot with but this " emerald

chutney " I call it, is my salad style of choice for my 57 year old body and

digestive system and doshic balance at this winter season.

 

Does this begin to make some sense? THe style of thinking can be transferred in

endless ways.

Love,

Ysha

I have something to add to this thread. I have a story. Many years

ago while taking pilgrimage to see my spiritual master, Baba

Muktananda, who was also a master of Ayurveda, my first pregnancy

aborted. I reported this to Baba and his advise to me was to take 6

months of pelvic rest - which included celibacy (and we had only been

married about 6 months at that time!). We used restraint for six

months and then resumed with our intention to conceive. Two months

later I was pregnant with our first child. Perhaps it would be best

to give it a rest and take time to heal? Saroj

Honey, I just realized you may have gone blank on the terminology with

Dr. Bhate's response. Prakruti diagnosis is a way of saying, body

type assessment. Nadi/pulse diagnosis by an expert is a very quick

and more personalized way to assess not just your body type (prakruti

sometimes spelled prakriti) but to also assess what is more important,

the imbalances or vikrutis. The three dosha language of

vata/pitta/kapha remains foundational to vikruti discussion also. How

is your reading going?

Warm Regards;

Ysha
