Homeopaths joke that pregnancy is an excellent time to receive
homeopathic care since two people (the mother and the baby) get
a remedy for the price of one! But jokes aside, homeopathic
treatment means the mother is more resilient and the child gets
a healthier start.
Having your constitutional case taken by a homeopath generally
requires a two hour visit and/or filling out a detailed questionnaire
aimed at finding a remedy which covers your entire state.
Homeopathy vs. Drugs During Pregnancy
The medical profession has diverted the once joyous process of
pregnancy and giving birth into a panicked, stressful medical emergency.
Due to the high number of lawsuits resulting from medical negligence,
doctors are now over-prescribing. Great for the doctors, but this
new attitude has now brought to light increasing concern over the
use of drugs during pregnancy which the foetus receives too; so,
it's better to be in the best of health so as not to need these
drugs in the first place. Research has shown that drugs during labour
and delivery can have short, as well as long-term effects on infants.
(Korte and Scaer,1984.) Homeopathy
before and during pregnancy can help to ensure a drug-free pregnancy
and labor.
Let us explore some areas where homeopathy can aid during pregnancy,
childbirth and after delivery.
