“Aren’t herbs dangerous,
especially during pregnancy?” a woman
asks.
“I’ve heard they cause
cancer,” says another. “I can’t
imagine what they’d do to my unborn baby.”
“It’s witchery,”
adds a third, “and I’ll stick to
regular doctors, thank you.”
These are still many women’s
view on using herbs, a mid-wife, or a holistic
approach, pregnant or not. Vast numbers though,
are looking into treating themselves, pursuing
holistic doctors, and using midwives. They seek
natural. In essence, women are going back to
the skill they learned millions of years ago.
They knew their bodies then and how to care
for them. Then, along came those who wanted
further power and named this skill witchery.
Suddenly men knew women’s bodies better
than they did. Weed leads readers back to this
natural skill and power. She provides preventative
and healing remedies, herbal preparations, and
points of safety, for before, during, and after
pregnancy. Weed even added a chapter on newborns.

Regular doctors and conservative
medicines have their place, but herbal doctors
and medicines do as well. Just why are many
women going back to treating themselves, visiting
holistic doctors, and interested in natural?
I believe deep down women know what works, what’s
safest, and what feels right. They’re
reacquainting themselves with nature, and listening
to and taking responsibility for their own bodies.
‘Wise
Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year’

baby and of their bodies naturally. Weed’s
