With infertility statistics soaring, a growing number
of women are embracing natural approaches to enhance
fertility and de-stress during rigorous, emotionally
draining treatments. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
is powerful in supporting fertility because it treats
body, mind, and spirit - all must be strong to conceive.
''The Tao of Fertility'' is the first book combining a
practical plan for conceiving using TCM with empowering
Taoist principles that can carry the reader not just
through pregnancy and birth, but through life in
general. Readers learn to boost their chances of
conception as Dr. Dao shares the dietary plans, recipes,
herbal supplements, meditative exercises, and
self-applied acupressure he uses so successfully with
his patients. The methods are inexpensive and
accessible. A detailed questionnaire helps women
discover their personal fertility profile, followed by
methods to calm and strengthen the body to receive and
nourish new life.Enriched by powerful stories of women
who became pregnant using TCM, this is a compassionate,
comprehensive handbook.It includes: a questionnaire
assessing fertility potential; a 28-Day fertility
enhancement program synchronized to the menstrual cycle;
fertility-enhancing herbs; simple meditations and
acupressure points to improve reproductive circulation
and relaxation; how to map your fertility using Chinese
methods of diagnosis; eating plans for pregnancy,
postpartum, and while breastfeeding. Chapters on
specific fertility challenges, with stories from women
who became pregnant by incorporating Dr. Dao's methods
into their treatment; the Taoist perspective on
pregnancy loss, adoption, surrogacy, egg donors, and
living without children. |
