The long-awaited, latest version of Shonda's popular book!
What you eat, your baby eats. Your medicine becomes your baby's medicine. Is it safe?
This book is written to answer your questions about nutritional and herbal medicine for the childbearing years. Do you know how to eat for a healthy baby? Do you know which herbs are considered safe or contraindicated for pregnancy-related discomforts and illnesses contracted while pregnant? Do you know how to administer herbs, figure exact dosages, and determine length of treatment for effective self-care?
The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy details a healthy diet for pregnant women, and clearly defines how the body changes during pregnancy. It also provides research-documented recommendations for herbal medicine use during the childbearing years. Perhaps most importantly, it encourages moms and dads to assume their God-given responsibility for their health and the health of their baby.
"This book presents a great balance in encouraging mothers to take personal responsibility for their own health through proper nutrition and herbal medicines, yet at the same time helping mothers understand when it's time to seek appropriate help from experienced professionals. This is one of the few herbal remedy books I've found that is written from a Christian perspective. I highly recommend this valuable resource book!"
