Ayurvedic treatment is widely believed to be the most effective way to prepare both men and women for conception, both physically and mentally. These treatments cleanses the body and mind, removing toxins that we are exposed to in our environment. When exposures exceed a certain limit, they can lead to hormonal imbalance, poor circulation, insufficient liver function, inflammation, fatigue, poor cognition, irregular sleep, insufficient nutrient absorption, depression, and irritability. To promote healthy conception and pregnancy, it’s recommendable for women to undergo an Ayurvedic treatment program before getting pregnant. This way, your mind, body, and spirit can rebalance, ensuring optimal health for you and your baby. If you’re looking to prepare for conception the natural way, consider booking a consultation with our Ayurveda experts to learn more about Ayurvedic treatments and how it can benefit you.
Toxin management in our bodies
In our bodies, toxins are primarily stored in fat cells, alongside the brain, liver, bone, and organs. But in most cases, toxins are stored in the liver. It is noteworthy that it is in the liver where the natural detoxification of the body takes place. This detoxification majorly covers alcohol, hormones, drugs, and estrogen.
With these treatments, the release and excretion of toxins are encouraged. But with this mechanism, detoxification symptoms come to the fore. More of the toxins are circulated in our bodies.
It hence becomes a must to go for ayurvedic treatment before conception. This is the right time to go for treatment; not when one is attempting conception, during pregnancy, or during breastfeeding.
Benefits of ayurvedic treatment before conception:
o Toxins are removed from cells
o Hormones are rebalanced
o The liver metabolizes the excessive hormones that float around the body. This includes xenoestrogens that are found in pesticides, plastics, and chemicals. They create an imbalance with natural estrogen levels.
When one goes for a proper ayurvedic treatment with one’s naturopath, the following benefits are likely to be visible:
o While the immune system is boosted, aches and pains in the body also reduce. Inflammation reduces.
o With the nervous system being rested, the body becomes healthy and ready for pregnancy.
It is noteworthy that results vary from person to person.
A few of the disorders that our children are vulnerable to, include allergies, autism, eczema, ADHD, Type-2 diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disease, and cancer. Environmental health researches and its results lead us to believe that the role of environmental toxins should not be undermined for the prevalence of such disorders.
From the time of conception, babies are persistently exposed to poisonous chemicals through maternal-fetal transfer. Some of these chemicals we’ve been exposed to throughout our lives, while others we encounter during pregnancy. During pregnancy, our fat stores are mobilized, but this is also where heavy metals and chemicals are stored. It’s possible that some of these substances can cross the placenta and harm the developing fetus. To protect your baby’s health, it’s essential to undergo an Ayurvedic treatment program to remove these harmful substances from your body.
Other noteworthy chemicals that may perform the same function are those arising from endocrine disruptors that affect the mechanism by which hormones function in our bodies.
What should one be doing to encourage the natural detoxification of the body?
The top four main areas to consider are:
- Food and digestion
- Personal care products
- Environment
- Social recreational drugs (including alcohol and caffeine)
The key to detoxification primarily encompasses making sure that one is eating the food well and digesting well. This will ensure that the body gets sufficient nutrition. Elimination of toxins should progress just fine in such cases.
Let us take a look at a few of the tips to keep in mind:
o Consume organic foods when possible. Affordability has to be borne in mind. Organic vegetables are more affordable than other organic foods. Other foods to choose from include eggs and grass-fed meat.
o Go for a plant-based diet that is high in leafy greens. This will include broccoli, collards, and kale. Other foods to choose from include quality protein and healthy oils, such as coconut oils and olive oil. Similarly, one should go for seeds, nuts, and organic berries, irrespective of whether they are frozen or fresh. One should also consume a small amount of complex starches from whole grains.
o Consume 2 liters of fluids every day. Include filtered, clean water and herbal tea in this.
o Consume only low-mercury fish.
o Avoid alcohol, black and green tea, coffee, caffeine-containing drinks, recreational drugs, and smoking.
o For its herbal action on the liver, drink organic roast dandelion root tea.
o Lifestyle habits that work well for detoxification include daily dry skin brushing, Epsom salt baths, and exercise.
Now, let us take a look at the recommended lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to toxins:
o Go for natural and organic body products, essential oils, and cosmetics.
o Environment-friendly products work best for dishes, cleaning, and laundry.
o Choose to use essential oils over air fresheners, fragrance oils, scented candles, and perfumes.
o Avoid pesticides, exposure to heavy metals, fertilizers, and plastic containers for food and drink.
o It is preferable to keep computers and mobile phones away from the body. Similarly, when photocopiers and microwaves are in use, keep clear of them. While x-rays and nuclear imaging are avoidable, steer clear of them.
Some other important tips that work include:
o Maintain a healthy weight
o Go for stress reduction techniques such as meditation, tai chi, and yoga
o When you get sufficient sleep, your body has a chance to repair and rejuvenate
