But the average North American diet is saturated with processed foods and environmental toxins are rampant-we must take responsibility for what we put into and onto our bodies to create optimum conditions for the childbearing year. Drawing on the author's own personal triumph over infertility, Conceiving Healthy Babies is a unique herbal guide geared to helping couples achieve balance in preconception, pregnancy, lactation, and beyond. Its individualized approach to fertility explains the importance of: * Understanding, accepting, and celebrating our own bodies * Basing our diets on organic, nutrient-dense foods that have been traditionally prepared * Using whole plants in their original form for their medicinal benefits Packed with detailed information on hundreds of different herbs with a focus on their roles in building healthy babies, this comprehensive manual is a roadmap to wellbeing.
