Pregnancy and Homeopathy

Homeopathy is ideal for women in their childbearing years as it is a gentle yet highly effective system of medicine. During pregnancy, some women will choose to live with the discomfort of minor complaints such as morning sickness or heartburn, rather than seek treatment because they are concerned about the possible side effects of orthodox medicines on their unborn child.

Homeopathic medicines are safe for your growing baby because only a minute amount of the active ingredient is used in their preparation(1). They work by stimulating the body’s own healing powers. Good homeopathic treatment prior to conception can prepare you for a healthy pregnancy.

Stimulating your vitality in pregnancy with homeopathic treatment will automatically benefit your baby. By staying as healthy as possible during pregnancy, you are giving your baby the ideal conditions in which to thrive. A experienced classical homeopath will also offer advice on your diet and lifestyle to encourage a healthy pregnancy and birth. They will also provide birthing remedies, post natal care and ongoing baby care to your new baby.

Physical and emotional changes during pregnancy may cause minor health problems such as nausea, mild urinary problems, diarrhea, heartburn, anemia, varicose veins, backache, cramps, thrush or emotional distress. All these problems and more potentially complicated symptoms such as raised blood pressure, can also be helped by professional homeopathic treatment
