On The Natural Path: Naturopathy & Personal Health

On The Natural Path: Naturopathy & Personal Health

This is not a medical health guide, but a reference guide of well-sourced content that introduces you to the facets of issues in this industry.

Three parts, one path: naturopathy & personal health — the Bastyr framework, an introduction to acupuncture and the everyday foundations — then pregnancy through baby's first year, with doulas → and recovery & cannabis, including A Path to HEALING →. Every claim carries its source, and every therapy carries an honest evidence label.

Every body is unique — what is effective for one may be less effective for another.

From the first trimester to the first birthday.

Nutrition, homeostasis — the body's work of keeping itself in balance — and personal care, from before conception through baby's first year, plus the basics of working with a doula. Where the natural path and obstetric science agree, we say so; where they part, we follow the science and tell you why.

This part opens with cannabis as a recovery tool, then carries the complete Recovery guide: still the nervous system, change the environment, fill the reward slot with practices that nurture the body — including A Path to HEALING, our deep-soak and spa section — and rebuild the circle.
