The BirthCircle | Birth, Pregnancy, & PostPartum Conversations
Health & Fitness
Today we talk to Tamara Hiller, midwife, herbalist, and trainer in the field of pre/postnatal herbal medicine. Tamara has worked in the health field for over 23 years, and dedicates her practice to helping people to address current and chronic health issues through herbs and natural healing. She is a particular expert in bringing herbalism into the sphere of pregnancy and birth, which she has done for many years through her midwifery practice, and she continues to pass on her knowledge by training other doulas and midwives in the practice of perinatal herbalism.
We talk about herbalism and its place in healing, both ancient and modern, and how herbalism should not be considered "alternative medicine", but rather our primal method of healing, and a complimentary aid to modern medicine. We also talk about how an approach to health should not be to wait until a person is sick to support their health, but instead to support good health from the start and adjust as needed to prevent illness.
We discuss various herbs and their uses in the preconception and pregnancy stages, and how optimizing your overall health before trying to conceive makes for much higher chances of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy. We also discuss how to research which herbs are safe for pregnancy, including how to understand warnings and guidelines, and how to separate whether something is known to be dangerous, or whether it just hasn't been officially tested for efficacy.
Finally, we talk about a range of pregnancy complaints and what sorts of herbs might help to improve each issue. We discuss some more severe issues like bleeding, which herbs can help, and how to know when direct medical intervention is needed. We talk about using comfrey for tearing, and the controversies over that. We also touch on how to safely use essential oils in pregnancy.
