Book Reviews of The Natural Pregnancy Book: Herbs, Nutrition, and Other Holistic Choices
Book Review: A Well Borrowed and Always Loved Book
Summary: 5 Stars
When I found this book, I was pregnant with my daughter. Following Romm's advice, I was able to successfully deal with minor complications I was having by using nutrition and herbs. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for sound, safe advice from a standpoint of natural methods. I have lent this book out many times, all to rave reviews, and now it travels from expectant mother to expectant mother. I am happy that it is circulating among friends, helping women. After my daughter was born, I bought Romm's book on healthy children, and following her nutrition and herbal medicine recommendations I have nursed my daughter through chicken pox, two ear infections, a bad fever and several episodes of congestion/colds/coughs. My daughter is healthy (despite this list of illnesses), and has never had to take antibiotics. In fact, using Romm's remedies, none of these illnesses ever got bad enough to require a doctor visit. I can thank Romm for the fact that my girl has only visited doctors for well child check-ups. I have been inspired enough by this success to pursue a career in herbal medicine and nursing. This is the only book review I have written for Amazon, and I am a voracious reader of natural medicine/nutrition/gardening/beekeeping/fiction/natural housebuilding books. Romm is now a medical doctor with a degree from Yale. Thanks Aviva!
Summary of The Natural Pregnancy Book: Herbs, Nutrition, and Other Holistic Choices
Reading THE NATURAL PREGNANCY BOOK is like having your own personal herbalist and midwife at your side. Expertly written by Aviva Jill Romm, who has been providing family-centered natural health care for almost 20 years, it was one of the first books to explore botanical medicine and pregnancy. In this revised and updated edition, Ms. Romm thoughtfully follows the woman?s journey from conception to birth, focusing on natural health. She describes herbs that can promote and maintain a healthy pregnancy (along with those you should avoid during your term) and the basics of a healthy diet, with an emphasis on natural foods. THE NATURAL PREGNANCY BOOK is a complete guide for the woman who envisions a safe pregnancy without technological intervention, as nature intended.Pregnancy & Childbirth Books
