The previous discussion of the uterus nudges us towards these subjects. We do not cover fertility in this class (this will be a separate class), but we do cover issues that arise from pregnancy, delivery, postpartum recovery, and lactation. Breast health: pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, lactation, and post-lactation; tendino-muscular tone, lymphatics, and milk ducts.



Join us for just this class or the entire series!

Everyone interested in this subject must catch this assemblage of three highly experienced herbalists with over 100 years of clinical experience between them.

We cover the topics of menarche, menstruation, pregnancy, lactation, menopause, and everything in-between (except fertility - handled in another class), but it will do so from several different perspectives. It goes without saying that three herbalists will have three perspectives, but beyond that, we are referring to (1) analysis in terms of hormones, (2) analysis in terms of tissues (ligaments, mucosa, muscles, pelvic floor, etc.), and (3) the relationship between the immune system, sympathetic and reproductive function.  Female reproductive cancers will largely not be discussed here.
