A PRACTICAL, INTENTIONAL GUIDE TO CREATING ENHANCED CONDITIONS FOR CONCEPTION Creating new life is a natural part of being a woman, but it doesn't always come as easily as we expect. With high-stress modern lives, many women's bodies are not prepared to nurture the growth of a child, and they may find it challenging to become pregnant. Heather Grzych discovered firsthand that the practice of Ayurveda, and its deep teachings on the Four Fertility Factors, could help her and other women create the optimal conditions for conception. She shares that understanding — which led to the birth of her son — in this comprehensive book. Ayurveda, the ancient "science of life," teaches rejuvenating mind-body-spirit practices and herbal remedies that will help you and your partner align with nature for a healthy conception. You can safely explore this holistic approach as you plan for your pregnancy. With Heather's guidance, you will discover and learn to enhance the factors that contribute to fertility and overall well-being, including the spiritual, emotional, and environmental dimensions of conception.

Here's what 5,000 years of medical wisdom have to say about pregnancy:Modern medicine has created a big rift between body, mind, and soul. For a long time, and even today, mainstream medicine has focused on the separation of each of the body's systems, studying and treating them independently from the whole. It's only recently that it started endorsing an idea that ancient medical practices understood all along. Our health is much more complex than one ailing part of our body and is, in fact, the sum of who we are, what we do, how we behave, and how we feel. You may be at this point in your life where you're ready to have a baby, but you're also looking for a way to have a healthy pregnancy both for you and your child. With a gentle and comprehensive approach to health, you may find everything you've been looking for within the teachings of Ayurveda. Ayurveda isn't only the science of holistic medicine but also of prevention. It'll allow for a healthier pregnancy, minimizing potential complications by looking at what you eat, how your environment promotes your wellbeing, mental health, and general lifestyle, and then making individualized plans to fit your physical and energetic needs. The body is smarter than you think, and its connection to natural laws has been quite undermined by modern medicine.
