Long description
In this book, as is happening more and more in our day and age, the focus is on pregnancy and child care the natural way, that is, turning away from antibiotics and chemicals to natural medicines and herbs.
For the expecting mother there is advice on herbs that can be used safely during pregnancy, as well as natural remedies for problems and ailments associated with pregnancy. There are also recipes for herbal teas and healthy eating during pregnancy, as well as suggestions on what to avoid. Also included are some very useful and practical heat busters – natural ways of soothing heat rash for mothers who are expecting their babies in the hot summer months, but also winter warmers, which include warming tactics and lots of safe exercise.>br>
The recipes, guidelines to healthy eating, are the results of long years of working with herbs and health-giving food. Ultimately, a healthy diet for both mother and child is the foundation on which all else depends, and therefore there are even recipes for healthy snacks and sweets for children of all ages, such as sunflower seed sweets and even health ice-cream.
The book also offers practical advice and recipes on how to treat common childhood ailments – from allergies to worms – with the help of natural remedies and herbs.
