A definitive guidebook to natural health wellness for the maternity journey

Oh Mama is the ground-breaking handbook for Birth Practitioners overviewing perinatal integrative medicine (holistic maternal/fetal/neonatal wellness). It outlines all the major naturopathic maternity health therapies covering: pre-conception, antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and the neonate.

While written for clinicians, Oh Mama is still highly readable for expectant mothers-to-be as a succinct guide to integrative medicine relating to pregnancy, childbirth, the postnatal period, and newborns.

For anyone seeking awareness of all the natural health options available during the maternity journey, Oh Mama is the definitive, go-to encyclopedic-style international reference resource.

Includes acupuncture/acupressure/moxibustion, Ayurvedic Indian herbalism, Bach's flower essences, Bowen therapy, chiropractic, essential oil/aromatherapy, homeopathy, hypnotherapy (incl hypnobirthing), massage, osteopathy, reflexology, reiki, shiatsu, tissue cell-salts, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western herbal medicine. The Antepartum. Pre-conception wellness preparation, natural alternative remedies for common minor discomforts of pregnancy, natural complementary therapies for complex medical complications of pregnancy, and the naturopathic essentials of birth preparation. The Intrapartum. Holistic support of natural labour to achieve normal birth, plus complementary remedies for complex obstetric complications. Including the five Birth-Rite must-haves, First Stage Labour (latent, active and advanced-active transitional), Second Stage Birth, and Third Stage Placenta. The Postpartum.
