re: member People Map; thrush cont.

[Guest guest]

Hi Timea and All -

 

It is good to know where practitioners are and we have a way to get a visual on

it now - has a new feature I've uploaded here in the left hand navigation

column (if are at http://health.perinatalayurveda instead

of just responding to emails). Scroll down to groups labs (beta) and click on

applications. The People map feature allows us to post a marker where we are -

love to see where everyone is there if you care to take 5 minutes and do it.

 

Though I don't believe the shea has any anti-fungal properties, I am thinking of

it for something that moisturizes, allows more breathe but at same time protects

and stays on. I will have to try just applying an oil with it over top and see

if it has any risk of the usual moist things creating stinging effect on oils.

I don't think it will. Normally I use (other body parts) castor oil, but Baby

normally doesnt' need that influence.

 

Early postpartum moms are special case with candida...limiting carbs and sweet

taste with their high caloric needs, fragile digestion, emotional sensitivities

and other things makes it a situation requiring more of a dance with her about

what works. She will have such strong cravings, and is not so much functioning

from will-power mode for herself even tho for baby, heart/will are majorly

strong together. So I don't like to advise restricting carbs and sweet taste,

though definitely will favor for sweet, things like agave, stevia, more complex

carbs, and stewed and fresh fruits instead of the other sugars.

 

And the craving for sweets does get reduced as her body learns to burn fats for

long burning fuel, which requires ample digestive spicing support. That will

help avoid so many complicating sweets.

 

Is there any other ayurvedic opinion here for early postpartum?

 

Namaste;
