Breastfeeding.

Do I love it? Not always. Sage got a good chomp last night with those new little teeth. The Natural Farm breast cream is the saviour today.

I was fortunate with Sage to be able to feed. The first few weeks were a struggle not due to the lack of milk but but from too much milk. I was basically waterboarding Sage with my b**b. So after a 3am teary Plunket phone call. We discovered lying on the bed to let Sage feed was the best way forward. But I’m grateful too have lots of milk than struggling to make some. My heart goes out to other mammas feeling completely stressed and pressured by this.

Over the years I’ve learnt some tips to help with milk production. Because remember when women make milk. It is actually blood in TCM terms from Blood energy. We much protect our yang and Qi.

🍼Plenty of healthy fats. Eat 6 small meals per day with fats such as butter, avocado, oily fish, nuts and seeds. I would cut a piece of butter like a piece of cheese and sprinkle Celtic salts on top. Also don’t waste space eating low nutrient dense foods. Such as empty carbs like pasta and bread. Use pulses, meats and veges.

🍼Vegetables at least 6 cups per day. All the colours of the rainbow.

🍼 Supplementation on Vit B, Vit D( not just the sun ☀️ it’s winter you will probably need more) selenium and zinc.

🍼 Protein. A palm sized amount at least 4 times daily when lactating you are making another person.

🍼 Drink at least 3 glasses of warmed water with every feed. Never cold water. Add coloured salts for extra hydration.

🍼Topical iodine. Feeding women need 6 x more iodine then men. The chances you are deficient are high. Topical best just a palm size on your thigh or arm. If it absorbs in 12hours your not deficient. Lugol’s does a great product.

🍼Women need 42 days of rest after birth to heal her body and produce lovely milk making hormones.

🍼No caffeine as this will compete with your hormones. If you have slipped? Drink 4 glasses of water to any coffee. Watch your chocolate intake too.

Okay Sage is awake and ready for play.

Flow Must Flow
- As my mentor always reminds me.

Today is about scars!

Might be from your endometriosis laparoscopic surgery, or c-section or maybe a massive line up your abdomen from an appendicitis surgery gone wrong.

Where there’s scars - there is Stuck/trauma blood flow. The Qi can’t move. It’s like a gate across your meridians. The flow is not flowing.

When we are cut open the body experiences trauma. Cold enters the body, which it doesn’t like. Then we are closed up and the body needs to repair. Who knows where our organs and ligaments end up?

This causes adhesion inside. The scar tissue is like a glue. After your c-section your bladder may adhere to your uterus. Bending is now difficult and there’s a permanent belly bulge that won’t go away.

Maybe this could be affecting fertility.

How do we fix this?

✅1st. Good nutrients for repair:
✨Vit C - collagen building
✨Quality proteins 🍣🥚🫘 oily fish, nuts, seeds, eggs, organic meat
✨Magnesium - topical is best
✨Zinc- needed for wound healing
✨Vit D - sometimes the sun is not enough. I prefer the dropper kind. That way I can high dose. Why I’m USA you can buy 50,000IU but in NZ it’s only 1000IU. We need more D.

✅2nd. Castor oil. It works miracles and breaks down adhesions 4 inches deep.

✅3. Scar releasing body work. This is done in clinic with moxa, cupping and therapeutic touch.

Now some of you may not even be able to touch your scars. Be brave. Try tonight when you go to bed. Place your hand gently over the area and thank your amazing body for doing its best to heal this wound. There may be a lot of trauma there. Give thanks and let go. It’s time to heal.

Queen of goddesses in Mayan culture. She assist healers aids fertility, mothers, childbirth and herbal medicine. ‘Lady rainbow’ symbol - translucent wings of the dragonfly, the jaguar and rabbits. Triple goddess as she’s represented in three stages the maiden, mother and crone. Helping all in at each stage. I first heard of Ix Chel once I read Sastun - by Dr Rosita Arvigo.
