Until recently, one of the biggest differences between eastern and western medical practices was that eastern practices look at the whole, while western medicine had a tendency to break everything down into its parts. Breastfeeding is a prime example of this. Note: There can be breastfeeding hurdles, especially if you’re a first-time mom. However, there are also plenty of resources.
Breastfeeding Has Countless Benefits: Here Are 5 Important Ones
When companies make or improve their formula, they analyze gallons and gallons of human breastmilk and then try to replicate what’s inside (which is impossible, because your breastmilk contains specific antibodies and all kinds of beneficial things that are unable to be exactly replicated in a factory). What they were missing was the fact that:
Breastfeeding releases oxytocin and other hormones that soother mother and baby, and help them bond.
The shape of the baby’s mouth and the mother’s breast are perfectly matched, and nursing on the breast helps babies’ mouths to form and develop into toddlerhood.
There is a laundry list of health benefits for both mother and baby.
Now, a recent study shows that not only is breastmilk best for baby, it’s best when ingested directly from the breast – rather than from pumped milk in a bottle (don’t stop pumping though! There’s no doubt that pumped breastmilk is still preferable to formula in the holistic sense!!).
Reduced ear infections. Baby ear canals are teeny-tiny, which makes it difficult for fluid and bacteria to clear through the Eustachian tubes. As a result, babies and small children are more prone to ear infections. While previous studies showed a correlation between breastfeeding and reduced ear infections, it was thought that the antibodies and probiotics were the most likely reason. Now, a recent study shows that infants who breastfeed directly from the breast have lower incidences of ear infections than those who drink pumped breastmilk from the bottle.Researchers can’t say exactly why this is true, but suspect that the negative pressure created by bottle feeding ends up backing up in the baby’s middle ear, where it can’t clear as easily – thereby trapping moisture and bacteria.

Zinc oxide tetrapods cure genital herpes in animals
Generating an effective vaccine against genital herpes infections has been a major research challenge for decades. Likewise, a protective microbicide has been a dream as well. Scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, and at Kiel University, Germany, have recently developed a unique method to combine microbicide efficacy with a new vaccine platform to give rise to the “Microbivac” concept.
Exercise in pregnancy ‘good for mom and baby’
The traditional view was that women should avoid exercise during pregnancy because of the risk of preterm birth. However, views have changed. Now, a new study that reviews and analyzes the evidence, confirms what many studies have found – exercise during pregnancy is safe and can benefit both mother and baby.
