There are plenty of pregnancy herbals out there...believe me, I own most of them. You know the proper herbs to take for a healthy baby. But do you know how to treat a head cold naturally and safely while you are pregnant? This book will show you how! Thank you Joy!

If you want to scream when an expectant mom pops Tylenol for a light headache or says she doesn't know where the whole foods store is, this is the book for you. Joy Gardner, author of The New Healing Yourself, offers a great text about natural remedies during pregnancy and labor.

Starting with preconception (including natural ways of regulating ovulation) through all the common complaints of pregnancy, Gardner offers ways of preventing problems, as well as curing them. She recommends herbal and natural cures for problems including

-swelling of hands and feet
-the common cold
-varicose veins
-frequent urination
-infections

Even if you're not completely into natural remedies, this is a useful book because it explores how to cure yourself if the drug you would normally take is dangerous during pregnancy. A great primer and resource to have around.

This book is an invaluable guide. I found it at the library with my 1st boy (now he's 20+). I always give the gift of this book to my pregnant friends. Very worthwhile!!!!!

I was really looking forward to receiving this product, but after waiting awhile, found out it wasn't available.
