triphala pre-conception

[Guest guest]

Namaskar,

 

Can anyone please advise regarding a question I received yesterday from a 35

year old

woman wanting to get pregnant. She says she has been constipated her entire

life and

recently began taking two capsules of triphala every evening. With great joy

she reports

this is helping her regularity. She is now wanting to conceive her first child

and asked if it

is safe to continue taking triphala at this time, mentioning her bottle of

triphala states it is

not to be taken during pregnancy.

 

She and I would both be grateful for others expertise in this matter.

 

Warm regards,

 

Kim Luchau

Hi Jivani;

 

A lifetime, or even a few months of chronic constipation creates

impurities in the plasma and deeper tissues that will adversely effect

quality of foetal development during those critical initial days after

conception. The quality of DNA unfoldment is even influenced, to say

nothing of the longer range. The level of toxins that are likely

stored in tissues are not removed just because bowels are beginning to

move for a few weeks with regularity. it is an essential beginning,

but Ayurveda will advise her to do at least 1-2 seasons of Panchakarma

or modified home cleansing if she has no access (see files for home

panchakarma) under ayurvedic practitioner guidance at least by phone

access, then ideally, some rejuvenative tonic herbs to support best

quality semen and ovum for 2-3 months.

 

The ovum which will be released for conception is among 3 or 4 which

are being prepared with special attentions by the body for 3 or 4

months prior to its release, so we actually want to prepare the body

several months in advance to prevent problems and give Baby best

quality of Life - Mother too! I hope she will be willing to make this

commitment for the considerable benefits. As women get older you know

the doctors and midwives have to identify for many this gives higher

risk of problems for her and baby.

 

The panchakarma is the best style of cleansing I know of, among MANY!

to address the cleansing of the deeper tissues and rejuvenate them.

There may be need for other cleansings also, if one can afford it is

good to test for heavy metals and parasites with an alternative

practitioner who has good testing methods and labs; most allopathic

practices do not pick up on many things or work with the good tests or

labs. A good Ayurvedic pulse practitioner can tell if parasites are at

issue, and many more things that may be important to create good

balance. " PK " is also for a high percentage of women (forgive, I

don't remember) the best way to reverse fertility problems, which are

so often related to toxic accumulations and what we call ama in the

reproductive tissues which we call the " deepest " tissue.

 

Triphala makes the foetus restless/unsettled and increases apana vayu,

the subdosha/direction of vata which governs menstruation, elimination

and childbirth. It is contraindicated for pregnancy for real

according to perinatal Ayurvedic physician Dr. Sarita Shrestha. So is

castor oil by same reasoning though not so astringent. Best choices

at this time by my understanding are stewed fruits and extra warm

moisture and oiliness in the foods.

 

Blessings;

Ysh

Hi Ysha,

 

Thank you kindly for your informative response. I

will pass it on to this woman. Somebody locally

offers PK at a reasonable price and there are many

others offering PK at USA resort spa prices, so she

has some local options.

 

She recently had two colonics. I saw her before and

after. I was concerned the colonics were aggravating

vata. Her breathing became more difficult, she

reported, after the colonics and the musculature

around her neck and shoulders hardened and became

painful. I suggested she take two weeks off before

doing her third colonic (she purchased a series of

three) and try castor oil packs. When you mention

that castor oil makes the foetus restless, would this

also apply to using castor oil externally. She also

has a history of asthma.

 

I will suggest the stewed fruit and had already

recommended ghee, but will further that by explaining

the benefit of extra warm moisture and oils in her

diet now.

 

My understanding is she wants to conceive soon. I am

not clear if she and her husband have begun to try to

get pregnant. So advice for her is most welcome.

 

with gratitude and love,

Hi Jivani;

 

With her desires to concieve soon, definitely some pk, even a few

days, is advised if she can afford it. It should come along with good

Ayurvedic pulse/diagnostics which will be valuuable for her in

multiple ways - self education being among them. In the meantime, and

to both comfort her from the invasiveness of colonics and to help

balance the vata while pulling toxins from the colon, I would choose

alternating dashmool bastis (2 T herb/2 cup water, boil/steep/strain)

with oil basti, even plain sesame (1/3 cup sesame unless you know

differently for her system), both warm of course, alt nights. I do

not know what would be prescribed by a vaidya, for how many days,. or

herbs in the oil basti, or other diagnostic factores that are

important. I just know the great value of both of these for soothe

and cleanse different kinds of toxins especially vata from the colon

and body, given the chance. This will begin to create some better

health and balance in her reproductive organs as well. Undoubtedly

there are herbal formula/e which will be beneficial before she concieves.

 

Alternative to colonics I have experienced both - colemas with

triphala decoction. 5 gallons used but delivered at client's pace

with a shut off valve for comfort. You can see online search colema

board for the equipment available in US. Dr. Light MIller's school of

Ayurveda in Florda teaches this for excellent deep purificaiton

results. Usually just 2 days in a row, maybe 3. BUT after each one,.

same evening, one takes a small 1/2 cup sesame oil basti to correct

what ends up actually as drying/vata increasing effect of the water

based colema. Similar advice more important after colonics.

Colonics, nor triphala neither can absorb for elimination the

petrochemical type toxins or other non-water solubles, so this needs

balancing and as discussed elsewhere on the forum, the oil basti both

soothes, restoring balance to cell walls which are primarily lipid,

and helps remove those type toxins.
