For many women, this intentional ceremony is the first time they feel they can fully relax, inwardly let their guard down, and trust that the bumpy ride is “over.” After she takes her time freshly meeting her baby again—admiring those toes, smelling that soft baby head—we tuck them in for a cozy nap together. Depending on comfort, it can be lovely to be skin‑to‑skin, wearing just underwear and diapers. As arranged beforehand, the helper then quietly puts the bathroom back together and slips out. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/spotting-during-pregnancy monthly 0.5 2026-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/2ad0bc40-a3fd-4ba6-b5ef-8edc8b7b97b3/danielle-suijkerbuijk-byvQud2yRiw-unsplash+%281%29.jpg BLOG - Spotting During Pregnancy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/f35358b1-09ef-4c89-a94d-2ad5a25c0a82/grigorii-shcheglov-vr8kXY3KWM8-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Spotting During Pregnancy - Most of all — get real, personal support.

Even with the understanding that we can never “guarantee” outcomes in health care, he would say simply, “Statistically, the babies were fine for 24 hours.” By comparison, near the end of pregnancy hospital-based non-stress tests are usually done twice weekly and provide insight into the baby’s well-being for only the 24 hour that follow. That means several days go by unmonitored, while daily kick counts at home let you check in more frequently and naturally. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/deeply-nourishing-meals-cool-seasons monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/1bf9d1e7-8dfd-4525-8797-e39f290943b0/edward-howell-hYHQSQrWaL4-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Nourishing Winter Meals for Pregnancy & Immunity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/117703ee-7ad0-4e0d-bf87-a4fe85a7b2a5/IMG_3267.jpg BLOG - Nourishing Winter Meals for Pregnancy & Immunity - Winter squashes & root vegetables, Such as pumpkin, butternut, acorn, Hubbard, carrots, sweet potatoes, & yams.

Some women have strong abdominal tone—whether from fitness, body type, or simply habit—and aren’t used to letting their bellies fully soften. We’ll sometimes laugh together about how, for the first time, their belly might rest on their lap, or how small-breasted women are surprised to feel their breasts touching their rising belly. Taking a few moments to normalize this natural softening and roundness often melts tension women didn’t even realize they were holding. A few slow, deep breaths—allowing your belly to rise and expand—can gently anchor this awareness and release the tightening that sometimes makes round ligament pain worse. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/healthy-new-year-resolution monthly 0.5 2025-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c39f4584-309b-4a51-bf03-b4c383140779/Ladies+walking+in+hills.jpg BLOG - 5 Easy Ways to Focus on Your Wellness New Year’s Resolution - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/81273df2-43c3-40d0-8d07-557348fb12d4/Brittanys+water.jpg BLOG - 5 Easy Ways to Focus on Your Wellness New Year’s Resolution - 1.

When sage is used medicinally to help nursing mothers intentionally dry up their milk production, much larger amounts are used than a tablespoon as seasoning for an entire recipe. It’s been my midwifery experience over the decades that small occasional amounts of sage used as seasoning have rarely (if ever?) resulted in a notably decreased milk production. If your milk supply has been very fragile, then you may feel most at peace avoiding it. But I would encourage you not to worry after-the-fact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/fc613952-fa9a-41a5-98f5-48cd577c0e6b/baby+on+grandma.Photo+by+Chris+Anderson+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Why Do Breastfeeding Moms Complain That Holidays Reduce Their Milk Supply? - And were you visiting with overly Helpful Relatives? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/9afb12ea-4fab-4868-9f60-a88ee0b76da7/nursing.Photo+by+Igor+Rodrigues+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Why Do Breastfeeding Moms Complain That Holidays Reduce Their Milk Supply? - The “cure” in most of these situations is a 'Nursing Vacation.' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/fbd71d28-cf30-48d8-9bac-3969e80e4cb2/Breastfeeding.levi-meir-clancy-tXuxqLmJxpU-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Why Do Breastfeeding Moms Complain That Holidays Reduce Their Milk Supply? - This is world is a busy place, but babies are not fast-paced. When mothers are able to slow down to match their baby’s pacing, it supports the baby’s sense of well-being, as well as the vital hormonal dance of breastfeeding mothers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/03b3208d-bee4-4596-94fd-e2abd3b41acb/newborn+face.Photo+by+Brytny.com+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Why Do Breastfeeding Moms Complain That Holidays Reduce Their Milk Supply? - You may be eager to give your arms a rest, or not yet ready to be separated too much during the holidays. Listen to your own intuition, and to your baby, to find the best balance for the two of you. One of the best products to low milk supply during holiday stress might actually be a comfortable baby-carrier, if you don’t have one yet! Baby-wearing using a sling, front carrier or baby wrap is one way to slow down the baby leaving your arms, if that’s your wish. The hopeful ideal is that a sweet balance is found between baby-holding by loving grandma’s, baby-feeding by nursing mama, and maybe even some wonderful ‘couple time’ for a much-needed nap….. Many lucky parents have purring grandparents that would be thrilled to cuddle the baby elsewhere in the house when you are ready for a rest. If you plan to breastfeed but other family members never have, it can help smooth the way to share ahead as you learn about normal breastfeeding patterns. It’s especially important that families that are inexperienced with breastfeeding babies understand that breastfed babies will normally feed more much more often than formula-fed babies. If you can keep in mind that holiday travel and changes in routine can sometimes result in low milk supply, these strategies will help you minimize the dip. PS. If you have a newborn or vulnerable young infant and are worried about them not loosing weight over the holidays, here’s why keeping them warm and cozy during travel can make all the difference, or some other troubleshooting if your newborn is not gaining weight. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/an-authentic-gift-giving-season monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/5d8687fe-ca8c-4146-a7d5-1f20c72f0925/laura%27s+curly+blue+heart.jpg BLOG - Meaningful Gift Giving: Creating Memories, Not Clutter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/02a76337-c515-46ca-9266-f5eef0280758/getty-images-GufSUZ6xMjM-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Meaningful Gift Giving: Creating Memories, Not Clutter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/fb315fce-acfb-4208-bcae-2c794d1847ff/galina-kondratenko-XhaRWN6xOBo-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Meaningful Gift Giving: Creating Memories, Not Clutter - One year the kids and I gave their Auntie a 'Date-a-Month' for the coming year.

The negative consequences of these choices often appear after the immediate postpartum period, commonly leaving parents to manage these challenges alone, feeling isolated and responsible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/22d86169-b088-4214-ab08-e6660dc1bab3/IMG_9302.jpg BLOG - Healthy Baby, Healthy Birth: Why You Are Not Safer When Doctors Rush Your Pregnancy - This little one above is a great example of the healthy, safe results of high-quality, personalized care.

They need the active support to calm down and emotionally “normalize” due to the pressure, stress, and fear emphasized in these brief and impersonal medical experiences. These are just some examples of rushing pregnancy and labor, and also of the many unaccounted-for hours that doulas, midwives, and families spend to compensate for society’s complex time issues! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/184b96fd-d441-4663-8c4b-ea20e0e822bf/cat+and+kittens.jpg BLOG - Healthy Baby, Healthy Birth: Why You Are Not Safer When Doctors Rush Your Pregnancy - In classes of the last decade, though, NONE of students have seen any sort of animal birth, or have had any idea of the normally reclusive behavior of a mother animal after having babies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/8cd1de6e-0ed8-438e-b826-f5946b2a0487/Izzy+newborn.jpg BLOG - Healthy Baby, Healthy Birth: Why You Are Not Safer When Doctors Rush Your Pregnancy - This time is too short to assure: Bonding with her infant.

Consider what it would mean if you get trapped at a hospital at the far end of the trip in the NICU with a preemie baby for some weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/39cdb7ac-8bb4-4318-a681-30a0a63c6715/busy+travel.father.bags.Photo+by+Jay+Wen+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - What To Consider Before Flying in Late Pregnancy - You are going to need a lot more than “a good night’s sleep” when you get return. You and your baby are on the same page; they will also be more worn out. When we are pregnant, energy spends fast, but has a slower refill. The more advanced your pregnancy, the longer it may take to get back up to baseline energy. You must be rested when you go into labor (or at least as much as possible.) Do you have an ample window of time after this trip, and before being in the possible labor window, to recover from the guaranteed upheaval? Even fun trips include a degree of chaos, eating different food, sleeping in unfamiliar beds, being around unfamiliar germs, and the kids probably having more sugar and less sleep. For most folks, all of this fun means returning home with a bit of an immune system compromise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/90223594-969a-4dd8-9001-e98d7a261fd3/newborn+eyes.Photo+by+Mindy+Olson+P+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - What To Consider Before Flying in Late Pregnancy - It’s VERY proper for you to prioritize the well-being of you and your baby; a healthy birth for both of you is the priority over and above all else. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/8-ways-to-have-a-lovely-postpartum-recovery monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/4daf14ae-e112-4305-951d-ce3de045407d/shawn+on+chest.jpg BLOG - Eight Ways to Have a Lovely Postpartum Recovery - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/2d88526b-bcba-4766-afd2-474eec96b4dc/Photo+by+%F0%9F%87%B8%F0%9F%87%AE+Janko+Ferlic%CC%8C+on+Unsplash+++.jpg BLOG - Eight Ways to Have a Lovely Postpartum Recovery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/3cc1ba8a-3f48-4df4-9959-ac2200bee1fe/baby+by+Nathan+Dumlao+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Eight Ways to Have a Lovely Postpartum Recovery - 7. If this is your first child, this postpartum is unique even if you have more kids - really a once in a lifetime shot. Should you have another baby, there won’t be this comparative oasis of time available to adjust and bond—you’ll have a needy toddler or preschooler running about! Sheila Kitzinger coined the term “baby moon” as an analogy comparing the postpartum period with a honeymoon. In both we have the purposeful use of privacy, seclusion, being served and protection from distractions while you celebrate and expand into love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/5d725b10-edc8-458f-9af6-307bb61d4b62/shawn-with+Brad.jpg BLOG - Eight Ways to Have a Lovely Postpartum Recovery https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/cabbage-recipe monthly 0.5 2025-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/eabe630c-fb7e-4621-a024-3922feb4c97d/david-todd-mccarty-Oy27nqJ7G54-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Did You Know Cabbage Was Sexy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/834deaaa-deb5-45be-a73e-707624a45aec/IMG_8277+2.jpeg BLOG - Did You Know Cabbage Was Sexy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/7b82028b-ca24-4695-9ea9-d1ebef5bbbd1/4+panel.cabbage.jpg BLOG - Did You Know Cabbage Was Sexy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/ea54dd21-5884-422f-a6f0-df2bc8aba4a8/3+panel%2C+cabbage.jpg BLOG - Did You Know Cabbage Was Sexy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/300be57c-f9b9-4f29-ac23-e52a2020224b/getty-images-DY6QUdhjWRA-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Did You Know Cabbage Was Sexy? - Food is made more appetizing when served in appealing ways.

Even though parents may find it an untidy process in every way. The little kid in this picture is my youngest who is now an aerospace engineer.

If there is a garbage strike and trash is not removed on a regular basis, it builds up, causes stink and additional problems, attracts varmints, and begins to spill over into other areas. Not pooping out our bodily waste promptly also results in waste backing up, toxins reabsorbing instead of leaving, and microbiome disruptions leading to additional issues just because of the congestion and inflammation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/1d0896e7-5362-46cf-bd4f-e4bd1710a53e/13.jpg BLOG - Healthy Bowels Made Easy: Natural Remedies for Constipation, Gut Health & Family Wellness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/f92ef828-de7d-448e-828d-91cc76814189/LoveBeth_Black.png BLOG - Healthy Bowels Made Easy: Natural Remedies for Constipation, Gut Health & Family Wellness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/accepting-help-is-hard-to-do monthly 0.5 2025-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c84e5a9f-ba5e-4cb8-8c60-5b3d50bc399a/hands+holding.jpeg BLOG - There are Gifts to Leaning into Help - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/a7c87ee9-f357-4db6-88b6-6acd103fed8e/J+tying+Marcel%27s+tie+2019.jpeg BLOG - There are Gifts to Leaning into Help - “All healthy, life-giving relationships grow with a balance of give-and-take. “ Aubrey Kimble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/2b869739-ef83-461c-bd20-542d022d568e/erik-mclean-AwpwaX1JAJM-unsplash.jpg BLOG - There are Gifts to Leaning into Help - I know my postpartum clients have run a challenging gamut with the issue of ‘help’; including all the feelings that come with ‘having to ask’, being vulnerable, and in some cases, the family dues that may come with receiving help. Additional big feelings of grief, loss, worry, or surrender may come up when labor needs some help, or baby needs some help, or when relatives are aging and need different sorts of help too. What if these are not circumstances of “helping debt” between us, but a healthy flow of gifting and love? I know that it seems trite and obvious written this way, like a Hallmark card! But my own discomfort has mirrored the 100s upon 100s of postpartum mothers who’ve consistently shared their concerns about needing and accepting beyond just a wee bit of passing help. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/four-excellent-things-to-do-today-for-your-weary-adrenal-glands monthly 0.5 2025-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/dfb700cd-761c-49a2-aa1e-5d7456ac2135/under+orange+pillows.jpeg BLOG - Four Ways To Boost Your Weary Adrenal Glands Today - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/92810f42-3a15-4461-802e-4d26f2fff0c4/toa-heftiba-IJZWGXwNZWo-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Four Ways To Boost Your Weary Adrenal Glands Today - Symptoms of AFS include: Fatigue Insomnia Weight gain Brain fog or poor memory Anxiety Mild depression Frequent colds and flu Infections that last longer than usual Pain in the upper back or neck Low libido PMS Infertility Hypoglycemia Salt and sugar cravings Inability to handle stress Trembling Dyspepsia Lightheadedness Heart palpitations Hair loss Dry thin skin Dr. Lam Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c444b4a0-61a6-4c2d-b5a7-2f2f15493cf2/lady+with+back+pain.jpg BLOG - Four Ways To Boost Your Weary Adrenal Glands Today - Adrenals require healthy unrefined salt to function well.

It you are having sudden and/or extreme swelling, it would be wise to check in with your care provider. This is a blog for educational purposes, and of course not medical advice specific to your own health history! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/469d569d-7a33-4592-a6ff-f2ea33a13b6b/salt.Photo+by+blackieshoot+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - 5 Ways to Reduce Swelling in Pregnancy - Try a little bit and monitor your own results. I suggest lavishly salting your food to taste with unrefined salt. The kind of salt matters very much! Healthy, nourishing salt is any brand of Celtic salt (such as Edens or Selina’s) , or Redmond Real Salt. Refined sodium chloride, or table salt, is NOT the same, and is missing over 70 trace minerals critical for human health! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/cf7c7522-c345-4924-8a1c-9c9046376464/woman+walking+sandels.Photo+by+Erik+Witsoe+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - 5 Ways to Reduce Swelling in Pregnancy - Exercise is also key to good circulation and healthy lymphatic function. Ideally, each day will include a brisk walk of at least 20 minutes, brisk to the degree that you feel just a little breathless; you could talk if you have to but don’t feel like it. Make sure your shoes have good support, thin sandals add to overall strain and can add to edema. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/02c944a6-e9f8-4af1-8059-833b8add1a3d/feel+on+bed-unsplash.jpg BLOG - 5 Ways to Reduce Swelling in Pregnancy - These basic recommendations, while just a place to start, should help reduce most kinds of swelling by quite a bit at least 80% of the time, in my experience. If you are going into pregnancy there is a lot of tissue congestion, and a history of no exercise with lots of processed food, the edema may be harder to resolve or minimize because of the status at the beginning. But good food, MORE unrefined salt, and more gentle exercise will go a long way. If it does not help you become more comfortable and less swollen within a week, I recommended seeing a naturopath or functional medicine doc to look deeper with you into your adrenal and thyroid function, homeopathic remedies like Nat Mur and Apis, and for nuanced and personalized guidance. May you have a robustly healthy pregnancy! https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/where-to-start-when-the-kids-are-sick monthly 0.5 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/1738868503701-ZPUNO8Z6FPVQUNWC6QC1/getty-images-THeWkO1YYhg-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Where to Start When the Kids Are Sick - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/3949e5cf-63d5-445e-a7b9-a016f0cd20f3/Let+Me+Feel+Your+Forehead+Checklist.png BLOG - Where to Start When the Kids Are Sick - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c7411146-1272-4910-9e7e-e70d8eb2d085/7.png BLOG - Where to Start When the Kids Are Sick - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/f92ef828-de7d-448e-828d-91cc76814189/LoveBeth_Black.png BLOG - Where to Start When the Kids Are Sick - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/rsv-in-babies-natural-remedies monthly 0.5 2025-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/ba6248fb-2d2e-4ab4-8830-8f00c2f82cf2/alert+newborn.olivie-strauss-94dvsoGEu5Q-unsplash.jpeg BLOG - What To Do When You're Worried About RSV - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/441934c1-1da4-4cc1-90e4-7eac223bac56/child+on+sunny+beach.Monica+Gozalo+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - What To Do When You're Worried About RSV - This is just an introduction to Vitamin D, I urge you to learn about the healthy benefits of sun exposure and to dig a little deeper to Vitamin D with the resources listed below. Many of my experienced health care colleagues consider these levels to be far too low for sustaining robust health and suggest supplementing to maintain levels ~70-100 mg/ml. Since low vitamin D levels are linked to immune compromise, respiratory illness, and depression (and is a fairly inexpensive lab test), all bloodwork (pregnant and otherwise, frankly) should include checking vitamin D. If your physician is resistant, they are sorely lacking in up-to-date info. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/a7b3f309-0073-472e-b6ee-4ecb433ef89c/Baby+in+woolie+tights.jpg BLOG - What To Do When You're Worried About RSV https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/7f4189e3-7d82-4449-abf1-1e699fe0d1e0/11.jpg BLOG - What To Do When You're Worried About RSV - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/what-to-do-when-you-first-feel-sick monthly 0.5 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/0541cb57-074b-432c-a073-229eaebb4ea7/Man+sleeping+on+couch.jpg BLOG - What To Do When You First Feel Sick - Make it stand out Don’t ignore the hints – responding promptly to symptoms even when they haven’t fully settled in yet is how you stay ahead of sickness. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/natural-earache-relief monthly 0.5 2025-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/83ac6724-4742-4146-a87b-a35c70f4726b/cute+kid+close-up.jpg BLOG - Earaches: How to Relieve the Pain, Speed Healing, and Calm the Screaming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/1d0896e7-5362-46cf-bd4f-e4bd1710a53e/13.jpg BLOG - Earaches: How to Relieve the Pain, Speed Healing, and Calm the Screaming - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c94e1123-272d-49bc-a932-9cb6267b3f5c/Haley%27s+sick+son.jpg BLOG - Earaches: How to Relieve the Pain, Speed Healing, and Calm the Screaming - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/wholesome-gifts-for-modern-families monthly 0.5 2024-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/2e7076e0-5c29-4282-af72-4c0bca819730/Love.craft+paper.gift..jpg BLOG - Wholesome Gifts for Modern Families - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/72db4aaa-5aa6-443c-b5fc-a3606a3236da/revolving_century_ii_alder_wood_math_puzzle_480x480.jpg BLOG - Wholesome Gifts for Modern Families - Creative Crafthouse One of my son’s college math professors suggested Creative Crafthouse, and every item has been exactly as promoted.

In a roasting pan, drizzle lightly with olive oil, salt lavishly, and sprinkle sparingly as desired with garlic powder, blended herbs, or cinnamon. Baked 325F for a while….yep, it’s like that. Check after 10 minutes, and stir every 5-10 after that. Adjust to your liking for chew/crunch ratio - longer is crunchier. Until it burns.

They aspire to be uplifting and positive presences for both the mother and her spouse/partner, and provide continuity of support throughout the labor process. Generally, doulas are interviewed, hired, and paid for by parents independent of their maternity care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/1095cc2f-4cc4-4e67-8cf6-bdf26e5aa93b/ginny+home+visit.png BLOG - Do You Know the Difference Between Doulas and Midwives? - Another midwife attendant is a homebirth midwife; both a “Traditional Lay Midwife“ and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) independently attend births in families’ homes, where they fully care for both mother and baby during labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period.

No one has a car to go places to get any, we use the band-aids from my kit all the time.” Green Salve “I can’t believe how much I use this – on chapped lips; itchy spots after the shower; dry skin; scrapes. It works on everything.” Tweezers “Not the bigger ones for eyebrows, but the fine-tipped ones. I’m surprised that I use them so often.” Pain killers (NSAID ) “Even though I rarely use them, it’s nice to have something to offer when friends are over, and ask if I have something for their headache or cramps.

Potency of 30c is a fine place to start. Take 4-6 pellets or drops frequently; depending on how intense the symptoms are, every minute up to every four hours. Once improvement is noticed, stop dosing and repeat the remedy only if symptoms return.

They take the place of singing to our babies or interacting with our children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c9f66050-124f-4a60-9810-c9026a0e6f00/vertical.kid+sweep+with+adult..jpg BLOG - Learning Through Imitation: Parenting Essentials - Children find it almost impossible to resist movement - imitation is part of their nature. However, if you start reasoning with your child to get him or her to do what you want, your child will imitate that and become a five-year-old who can talk you into doing things with great success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/2f3db3f8-0beb-4fef-a28b-577e5627bbf5/Teaching+toddler+plants.dad..jpg BLOG - Learning Through Imitation: Parenting Essentials - Striving to be models worthy of imitation (with renewed resolve rather than guilt) is the hardest and the most valuable work of parents, and it has the most benefit for our children.

As a consequence, these moms (and their partners) have an especially urgent need for educated & personalized support during their birthing process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c34ea5fb-e3b2-4227-a369-c65d8d72a5d1/dad+with+baby.blk%3Awht.Photo+by+Kelly+Sikkema+on+Unsplash+++.jpg BLOG - Doulas are Essential Support for Laboring Moms and Their Partners - 3. Support for father/partner Dads and partners are having their own experience in the birth process, and must be free to be available to the mother in the ways that best suit them both, which may not always be hands on and constantly present. It’s asking an awful lot to turn every woman’s partner into a ‘birth expert’ or ‘coach’, and expect them to feel qualified to know what questions to ask and what positions to suggest! If the birth is long, or especially strenuous, then just one person may not be enough to help keep mom physically supported, hydrated, nourished, and encouraged! Having a doula on board means that the father/partner often comes out of the birth process more informed, less stressed, feeling more supported, less exhausted…. and therefore better positioned to support his/their family heading in to the challenges of postpartum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/b85fa2bf-2ed6-44a9-b05d-cff5f4f051cc/indian+baby.Photo+by+DICSON+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Doulas are Essential Support for Laboring Moms and Their Partners - 5. Help transition to parenting sweetly. We tend to think that the birth is all about the baby getting out of the mother. But honestly, sometimes the next day, or week, is even harder! Doulas generally have a lot of practical ideas for keeping things on track as the new family acclimates to parenting, needs breastfeeding support, or seeks insight for “what’s normal” regarding sleep & feeding patterns. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/informed-consent monthly 0.5 2024-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/8de20bc2-e5c2-4e76-870e-575408d3fff4/chayene-rafaela-WrEim4Wujhk-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Why You Need to be Informed About Informed Consent - Make it stand out Thanks to Chayene Rafaela from Unsplash for awesome mama photo! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/d67ce461-93a3-432b-8ae2-208c2c5c3fdc/febe-vanermen-wSsdA9gzmXY-unsplash+%281%29.jpg BLOG - Why You Need to be Informed About Informed Consent - When a woman feels bullied, threatened, or harassed into submitting to the medical induction of labor to birth her baby, informed consent is absent from her care. Which is illegal. And also represents a downgrade in the quality of care and decision-making available to her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/7f792673-7195-4f02-ad1b-f15ffb17dc02/jimmy-conover-R5yoJSYDDfI-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Why You Need to be Informed About Informed Consent Pregnant moms, those who love her, and birth workers could print out ACOG’s “Recommendations & Conclusions” (link below) to include with mom’s birth plan, or just to have handy and encouraging. Through straight-forward questions, OB’s (and midwives too if necessary), can be reminded of their ethical and legal obligations to provide informed consent without attitude or bullying for all medical recommendations. Keep in mind that you are dealing with real people most likely just trying to do their job; neutral even tones are usually likely to be more effective and build collaborative relationships than starting with a challenging or aggressive approach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/973e40a4-d65d-4b7b-b335-c1e882a4055a/getty-images-hqyOimmS_tQ-unsplash.jpg BLOG - Why You Need to be Informed About Informed Consent - Feedback is helpful! It really helps to write a letter or fill out their survey after you have your baby! The hospitals are keenly aware that informed consent is legally required, departments are held responsible for the feedback that comes in. Be it praise or critique, and regardless of how long it’s been, a loud chorus will help effect and support positive change. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/time monthly 0.5 2024-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/9f74f863-dfe5-40f2-a536-3343e0a9fda5/IMG_5041.jpeg BLOG - Finding Time When Your Watch Stops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/ac48cf2f-be88-4db9-9b41-784d5588dc4b/IMG_6093.jpeg BLOG - Finding Time When Your Watch Stops Some of Beth’s (and her mom’s) worn-out watches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/9c44203e-28a7-424c-a7d4-c170decfedcd/boys+at+sharon+bedside.2009.jpg BLOG - Finding Time When Your Watch Stops - I think I took more deep breaths.

It nurtures the positive states of self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and the release of excessive guilt and misery. It’s an especially perfect flower remedy to consider for those in a ‘Pine state’ around the winter holiday season and New Year perspectives! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/fbb65867-bafd-474a-8c9f-cdd2e67ad973/pine.distance.Photo+by+Jade+Stephens+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - How To Use Pine (Flower Remedy) for Emotional Relief - While “objective acknowledgement of one’s faults is an important soul virtue,” in it’s extreme it can lead to being stuck in self-blame. Pine addresses the imbalanced pattern of unwarranted self-critism, and the inability to accept oneself. Sometimes the person needing Pine feels such guilt for things done or undone, even when circumstances are completely outside their control, that they end up saying ‘sorry’ excessively. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/01311a9b-9f84-48f0-893f-0d9658ffe1ba/pine.new%3Ahand.Photo+by+Jade+Stephens+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - How To Use Pine (Flower Remedy) for Emotional Relief - In a positive balanced Pine state, we learn to release and forgive ourselves rather than hold on. This leads to surrendering our emotional paralysis and self-depreciation, so that we move forward in healthy ways while putting right that which can be made good. Pine brings the positive balance of healthy contentment, and of being at peace with a healthy self-esteem as well. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/how-to-stay-well-even-when-no-one-else-is monthly 0.5 2023-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/1619481531073-HZLASUJEK5FMVT1DG2PE/sliced-fruit-prettty-citrus-scaled-e1580266019556.jpg BLOG - How to Stay Well - Even When No One Else Is https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/af368729-f2fa-45bf-aed5-9b8cdd648f42/sick.Photo+by+Isabella+Fischer+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - How to Stay Well - Even When No One Else Is - #1: DON'T 'PUSH THROUGH' when you know you've been exposed to an active contagion, or when you are run down in cold & flu season.

Use language that shares your expectations and gives parents a vocabulary to articulate the demanding needs of their new infant. This may be basic to many midwives, but many new parents do not have this understanding. The year of having a baby can be helpfully reframed by explaining that the newborn’s first three months are really “the fourth trimester.” Accordingly, what the baby needs is a “womb with a view.” (This is a good time to lighten the mood.) Breastfeeding consultants have illustrated this concept by explaining to their mothers that the “natural habitat” for a newborn is on the mother’s chest between her breasts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/3cc1ba8a-3f48-4df4-9959-ac2200bee1fe/baby+by+Nathan+Dumlao+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Doulas, Apprentices & Midwives: Eight Ways to Help New Families Create Lovely, Healthy, Normal Postpartums - 6. Tell first-time parents that this window of time is really a once in a lifetime shot. Should they have another baby, there won’t be this comparative oasis of time available to adjust and bond—they’ll have a needy toddler or preschooler running about! Use Sheila Kitzinger’s description of the “baby moon,” that wonderful analogy that compares the postpartum period with a honeymoon: the purposeful use of privacy, seclusion, being served and protection from distractions while you celebrate and expand into love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/5d725b10-edc8-458f-9af6-307bb61d4b62/shawn-with+Brad.jpg BLOG - Doulas, Apprentices & Midwives: Eight Ways to Help New Families Create Lovely, Healthy, Normal Postpartums Protecting time to rest and bond for all members of the family can be done in so many ways: planning ahead, accepting offers of help or hiring a postpartum doula. Some families have a potluck baby shower and ask everyone to make a double recipe, bringing one dish to pass and another to freeze. Their considerations need to include how mom will avoid stairs if there is no bathroom on the same level as her bedroom, daytime naps, childcare for older sibling(s), and how the other adults will also be getting extra rest. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/when-those-we-love-are-winding-down-ngljc monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/e192f4bc-e4ea-454f-a51d-e4bfcdcb2e00/sunset+golden.jpg BLOG - Holistic Things to Do When Those We Love are Winding Down... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/4a6737f3-8d36-41ef-9ec7-c3c5b91d32f1/20090919_0029.jpeg BLOG - Holistic Things to Do When Those We Love are Winding Down... - Is there time for Hospice Care? These organizations and their staff are the best! There’s options of home care or facility support; sometimes it's the family that's first ready for hospice.

Sounds odd on paper, but you know we’ve done it. Never talk yourself out of getting additional eyes on baby if you have even a little underlying anxiety about the situation. Beyond just the issue of medical safety, it is actually MORE kind and MORE respectful of the mother and baby to not be placid. This is because a baby who is doing well is plump and content, and mother can relax. A baby who is struggling with nutrition or weight is not having a good time, and the intuitively anxious mother is not free to fully give herself over to bonding and recovery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/b822fea9-cd92-4839-b62f-6aa752a5348f/leighann-blackwood-jvkpqugAXF4-unsplash.jpeg BLOG - What To Do If Your Newborn Is Not Gaining Weight - We can get these extraordinary results because I make sure that my homebirth parents are extremely well-informed and well-coached about what mama-babies need in the beginning.

Learn about nursing cues, almost any movement in a newborn is a call to nurse in the early days. In other words, a breastfed baby who's not gaining may not be invited to nurse often enough. 8-12 x/24 hours is minimal; for a baby who has not been gaining well and is dehydrated and vulnerable, they may very well need to be put to breast or get fed milk nearly every hour this first day/few days to stabilize. Frequent-feeds are easier on the baby than giant stuffing-the-baby feeds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/0daec8e0-4e9e-4e61-bee5-2a41e7187269/Photo+by+Wren+Meinberg+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - What To Do If Your Newborn Is Not Gaining Weight - This can be a lot of detail to learn off the internet at a time when mom is dealing with high stress, postpartum pain, and an upset baby.

Use a straw for liquids and eat soft foods if the mouth feels too sensitive for chewing. Swish a dilution of 1 tsp baking soda to 8 oz water; this reduces acidity in the mouth and promote healing of irritated tissues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/51b622fb-82a6-44c7-a487-5d5b44d17e2d/sm%3Amonika-stawowy-zOeoVqX-27U-unsplash.jpg BLOG - There Are Many Things You Can Do to Relieve and Prevent Mouth (Canker) Sores - Herbals Aloe Vera – Swish food grade aloe vera juice in mouth to soothe.

Besides the astoundingly catastrophic effect micro plastic is having on oceanic life, the earth, and in humans, the water quality IN the bottles is often worse than tap. A study done by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) found that "about 1/3 of the bottles (tested) contained significant contamination with levels of chemical or bacterial contaminants exceeding those allowed under a state or industry standard or guideline in at least one test." The process of melting the plastic into bottle form while simultaneously filling it with water, also leeches a very serious bio-contaminant, antimony, into every swig. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/076fadce-aea1-4af0-aba6-b1f1af6a0696/plums.Waldemar+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Three Effective Things to Do Today to Protect Our Families From PFAS in Our Tap Water and Our Lives - Boron is… Needed for Vitamin D to process, and to help absorb & secret fluoride from PFAS.

Longer is great too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/96426e44-ee69-41bb-ac71-67448737ccfc/Cleavers.onBeth.jpg BLOG - Using Cleavers the Herb To Clean Up Your Lymph - Tincture of Cleavers Pack a quart jar with fresh cleavers. Fill with 80 proof vodka; some like 100 proof, or using 1/2 unpasteurized vinegar. Leave to set 4-6 weeks. Keeping it in the dark is good, check in to see if more liquid is needed to keep the plant material submerged. Strain, squeeze the plant material nearly dry, and bottle. Dosage is at least 50 drops/day for adults, by taking 5-10 drops at a time throughout the day. Do not be dismayed by a strong cleansing result! Extra mucus may flow, like a bad cold, which is a wonderful thing as your body releases what was never meant to be stored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/7dc32188-2694-4b11-8bf3-60dcbc79f3ee/HerbalTeaPromo_2.jpg BLOG - Using Cleavers the Herb To Clean Up Your Lymph - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/getting-outside monthly 0.5 2023-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/6644ef5b-bd6a-4204-84d2-ca34e508a0e8/Photo+by+Ben+Wicks+on+Unsplash+copy.jpg BLOG - Getting Kids Outside! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/heartburn-relief monthly 0.5 2023-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/dbf2d2aa-a04c-4e80-b5cf-d02e82eae77b/Photo+by+Spencer+Davis+on+Unsplash.jpg BLOG - Relieving the Burn of Heartburn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/e79ad373-4fb6-41ef-8bc0-4c40e3097eed/Instagram+Post.jpg BLOG - Relieving the Burn of Heartburn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/e3e449cc-0095-49d9-8e61-f21d0511b309/Image+3-12-23+at+6.32+PM.jpg BLOG - Relieving the Burn of Heartburn - TUMS labels vary, but all include a wide variety of chemicals that are not good for anyone, let alone ingestion by pregnant mamas. https://www.indigoforest.com/blog/who-is-going-to-deliver-your-baby monthly 0.5 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/4f343ccf-f367-47e2-814c-944634a41d22/stork+on+next.Photo+by+Maurice+Schalker+on+Unsplash+++.jpg BLOG - Who Delivers My Baby? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/3c59e4cf-c407-4957-8338-8981e995cdff/IMG_5884.JPG BLOG - Who Delivers My Baby? - The ideal birth attendant trusts birth as a generally normal, healthy process.

If this feeling cannot be improved in the next prenatal or two, it may be in your best interest (and that of your unborn child’s) to consider finding a professional that is a better match for you at this time. Birthing well involves a considerable amount of trust and surrender, and do not underestimate the effects that your birth attendant will have on your experience and outcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/c28169df-a193-4783-a897-51171e52fd2d/man+hands+holding+hospital+baby.blog.jpg BLOG - Who Delivers My Baby? - Complications are less likely when there are fewer routine interventions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/a2e7f07c-4af9-4ee9-84e4-6187b0181be9/IMG_0184.jpg BLOG - Who Delivers My Baby? - Trust your gut to help you find the attendant that will help you, your baby and family have the safest and most satisfying birth for you!

Pour the jello mixture into the pan of your choice. A 9” x 9” glass dish produces ~1+ inch thick jello; my favorite is my shallow 8 x 13” enamel tray for about ½ inch thick. Maybe it’s my imagination, but the deeper the jello, the firmer it seems. 15. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for about 3 hours or until set. Eat by fingers or spoon. They are fun to cut into simple shapes with cookie cutters once set. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/a692db4d-6f9b-4b69-aed6-4993218d6242/018.jpg BLOG - Easy Elderberry Jello - *** If your household is sick, additional healing ingredients could be added… 1 tsp – 1 TB powdered rosehips (which are rich in vitamin C) 1 tsp powdered vitamin C at the end, when its cooled to room temperature as Vitamin C is sensitive to heat.

Sour Cherry Juice can be substituted for the grape, or try 50/50 with grape/black cherry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/7512e03e-ae66-4c5b-9d65-5fe22ce50ea9/019.jpg BLOG - Easy Elderberry Jello - My favorite ingredients to use are Starwest organic elderberries and rosehips, Perfect pastured gelatin, and whatever quarts of organic juice are on sale at my local grocer.

She relapsed hard a few weeks back, but since having the AVACEN she is sleeping through the night again, her rashes are disappearing, she’s peeing when she has to go instead of screaming, her drawings and handwriting are improved, her play isn’t so dark, and she hasn’t had any any more vision issues. She asks to do it now!” Mikayla https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/11e734e0-ec4c-415c-807b-ff4511f48846/IMG_8741.jpeg AVACEN - “I bought an AVACEN last year for my home. I wanted to have something on hand for treating illness and injuries for me family. And I’m so glad I did. My grandmother (76) fell while working in her yard this summer. She broke her elbow in two places, broke her scapula and sprained her wrist. When she went to the doctors they told her it would be a minimum of 9 weeks to heal with no movement. I started her on the AVACEN the day after she fell and increased her treatments over time. We worked up to three treatments a day. When she went back to the orthopedic doctor for X-rays and a check up, they were shocked at how quickly she was healing!! She was just about 3 weeks out from the fall and they saw lots of improvement in range of motion and bone healing. It was so exciting to see how much it truly helped her heal. I’m so happy we have one in our home to help with healing!!” Sarah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/9daa692d-ec37-4eb2-9477-84d972d46fe7/avacen_Quote_1.png AVACEN - “I’m this little peanut’s midwife. She didn’t seem to be growing at all the last 2+ months of her mom’s pregnancy. The ultrasounds found things ’normal’, but the baby weighing only about 4 1/2#, she was diagnosed with ‘IUGR’ (growth restriction.) As we’d already tried dietary changes and there are no medical treatments, I suggested her mom use an AVACEN daily. Five weeks later, in perfect condition at 5#12oz, she was born safely (at home, as planned!) MICRO-CIRCULATION to the rescue!” Beth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/50f9fd54-3b29-43ef-9a94-dfc5c4a421b8/messages_0.jpeg AVACEN - “My constant puking when I was pregnant with Ben almost killed me, it was up to over 60x/day. I’ve been using the AVACEN since he was 4 months old, and now a year later I'm pregnant again. Things are so much better! I’m now throwing up only 4-20x/day, and feel better overall. I originally tried it because I was sick with Covid and had lost my taste and smell. Both improved by at least 50% within 18 hours (2 sessions), and were completely restored within 48 hours.” Kate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/82fd6461-e29e-4e25-bafc-164d9bcd752f/Screen+Shot+2023-02-04+at+3.48.44+PM.png AVACEN - “The first time I tried the AVACEN the lymph nodes in my neck were still swollen even though my sore throat had cleared up two weeks before. It was only a 25 minute treatment, but the next morning I couldn’t believe there could be so much change overnight?! Not only were my swollen nodes completely gone, but also the pain from a pulled muscle in my knee, AND my hormones seemed to balance and my period get back on track.” L https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/dc6dbec0-3644-4d5d-837e-57b9ee5f83ad/IMG_2515.jpeg AVACEN - “Our son got bit by 3 ticks last summer, and within a week he regressed and stopped speaking. He was diagnosed with Lyme’s disease, and we tried several rounds of different antibiotics, but there was no change in him speaking. We’ve tried many different approaches, but he still hadn’t talked for almost 7 months. Our whole family was giving the AVACEN a try one afternoon with Beth, and he tried it first for 6 minutes and then for another 7. It helped that there was was a button that released his hand almost instantly. By that evening he was talking!! We couldn’t believe it!! We immediately rented one, and we had only one regressed day out of the whole next week. Now that we own an AVACEN, we are seeing benefits for the whole family in terms of improved sleeping, rapid wound healing, and our little guy back to talking normally of his age!” Michelle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/2d1c03f7-c95f-40bd-bc3e-1a4ba4a04e5c/Resized952023012095182009.jpeg AVACEN - “We bought the AVACEN over a year ago when my husband and I both had very bad Covid cases. Not only did it help astronomically with our recovery, but it also aided both of us in ways we never anticipated! I found it easier to do extended fasting (no getting cold!), and then using it daily HEALED the painful varicose vein under the arch of my foot from my 4th pregnancy. I'm now pregnant with our 5th, and I've used the AVACEN every single day. It's kept the varicose veins from returning, my joints have not hurt, my muscle mass has not suffered as it usually does in pregnancy, energy has been better, and in spite of my usual 50 pound weight gain, no hemorrhoids! For all of that and more, it's been one of the best investments we've ever made! My husband says he would absolutely buy it again in a heartbeat!” Kellie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/8be98518-4fc3-4aea-bf0d-335aa15cb12b/testalize-me-0jE8ynV4mis-unsplash.jpg AVACEN - “Three years ago I was diagnosed with severe chronic neutropenia after over 15 years of feeling very ill all the time. Neutrophils are infection-fighting white blood cells produced by bone marrow, their normal range is 1.5 - 7.2 K/ml. My monthly blood work has consistently documented dangerously low levels of .2 - .4 ml, which is gravely close to sepsis. After using the AVACEN 15 minutes on each hand the first time, I actually felt a little better right then. For a week I used the device 30 minutes/ twice a day, and then went straight to get lab work done. For the first time in three years my neutrophils were in the normal range, 1.8 K/ml! It’s been two more weeks, and I feel like I can have a regular life again! Yesterday I was able to go up and down the stairs, and have not crashed all day. I’ve been able to be on my feet for hours." Update: Two months later. "The benefits have continued. The labs remain in the normal range, and my energy levels have allowed me to move back into my life again.” Rosie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/bf5ed3e9-b9d5-4ab9-b533-16346f4823fd/IMG_5213.jpeg AVACEN - “The AVACEN has really helped with my pain since I had surgery on my broken foot. I can do all my PT exercises with no shooting pain! And when I stand up I can put more weight on my foot (in the boot.) Everyone loves it, the kids are fighting over who gets to use while they do their homework :)” Heather https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607cd9720ef43a2dbb1bbf6e/237f3511-c16e-4378-a9f4-a68869bd0d83/Image+2-4-23+at+6.51+PM.jpeg AVACEN - On high doses of pain meds continuously for over 22 years, T. was a disabled military veteran living in pain with a crushed ankle, reduced kidney function, and cardiac complications. On 10th day of AVACEN use he reported: “This is impossible! I forgot to take my pain meds for 22 hours!?!??!!?!?” At 2 wks: “I CAN GO UP THE STAIRS NOW!” And in a call at 4 months: “My nephrologist reports my labs are NORMAL. The cardiologist report is my BEST in years! I’m off 90% of my pain meds, and my brain fog is gone.
