Fw: Unique Births

[Guest guest]

A colleague filming for discovery needs to find a Hindu birth or a birth outside

or in a teepee for a show on unique births.  Please let me know ASAP if you know

of someone. Thanks. Janel

 

Zach here at Video Arts.

 

We are now in the final stages of pre-production. Two of our expecting mothers

have been confirmed and we are working on locking down two more. That is where

you come in and can really make or break this show.

 

The network is requesting a Hindu couple that is pursuing a home birth as well

as a couple that is planning on giving birth outside or in a teepee. Obviously,

the later doesn't work for locations where the temperature is too cold.

Everything is a go; we just need to find the couples. The due date window is

from the beginning of December to the end of January. Anytime in January is

ideal.

 

I'm afraid this show might go away if we cannot fill this need of the

network. If you know any Hindu couples due in and around January that are

pursuing a home birth or a couple that wants to give birth outside or in a

teepee, please contact me immediately.

 

Your efforts are truly appreciated, as is the opportunity to share the fate of

this show with you.

 

Sincerely,

If you wish to see exceptional skills of a midwife, who was trained

by another traditional midwife in a tribal setting, you should visit

India and see how birts are handled by tribal women.

 

Smt. Mastammma, a tribal woman from Hebbalahadi village, Hunsoor

taluk, Mysore District, was awarded the Paramparika Vaidya Rathna

award for the year 2004-05. Mastammma has handled more than 2000

deliveries, including many complicated cases like breach delivery and

entanglement of umbilical cord, in the tribal areas of Hunsur Taluk.

She also treats uterine prolapse, menstrual problems, infertility,

jaundice and many paediatric conditions.

 

The association of traditional vaidyas in India are trying to revive

all traditional medical arts, where experience and " in-born " skills

count. Please visit:

The movie is about 2 hours long, which is worth watching.

Hi All -

 

This is the movie originally aired on PBS I believe. FAscinating

footage! The scope of Ayurveda is covered in much greater breadth,

though just a piece of it still given the many types of therapies and

modalities embraced by Ayurveda. Beautiful movie. There are threaded

thru the movie story of a young child with severe bone deformaties and

the type of therapies she underwent; many vaidyas totally unknown to

Ayurvedic students in the west and their unique gifts and type of

practice; the heavy metals proper preparations and safety discussed

(but don't try the one master's demo!); long lines of people to see

master herbalists every day, and his herb gathering methods; and

includes a short piece on postpartum care, with the elder midwife

oiling a postpartum mom in sitting position on a hard stone step,

better than none for sure!

 

Babies and moms are massaged usually twice a day with warm oil.

Babies in orphanages even get twice. Maybe I repeat myself, forgive me.

 

Namaste;

YSha
