Lecture: Traditional care during pregnancy and postpartum

Traditional women's care and naturopathy used to be passed down from mother to daughter. They were recipes for natural self-sufficiency, healing and regeneration; a precious knowledge of female health and energy. The first menstruation, the birth of the child and at the same time "a mother" and the menopause are the three most important phases of being a woman and deserve our full attention and sincere affection. Pregnancy and childbirth in particular are experiencing a change.

Traditional women's nurturing is not a path to self-knowledge and self-development, it is the path to "womanhood" that leads us to what is important at the moment - the birth of the child and the mother. Today hardly anyone is aware that a mother is born. And the "new mothers" feel that too - they often experience postnatal depression and a long search for a new identity, which is difficult to find after the birth.

All over the world there are still old traditions in which mothers are honored and cared for as they deserve - no more and no less than the newborn. Let's take this journey around the world together and feel how much we miss such traditional women's care and how much we can use it.
