Natural Relief for the Concerns of Moms-to-be

by Rebecca Liston, H.D., DSHomMed

Pregnancy is indeed one of the most exciting times in life but the excitement can be dampened by concerns such as nausea and vomiting, GBS, yeast infections, or constipation. And those are just some physical concerns that may come up. Emotional concerns are just as prevalent and may include worries about money, anxiety about the baby’s health, or fear of the birthing process. Moms-to-be may find it hard to be excited when they are unable to make it through the day without feeling overwhelmed by illness or worry.

Most women are reluctant to take over-the-counter or prescription drugs during pregnancy and yet they desperately need relief. Many turn to natural alternatives such as homeopathic medicine to ease their discomforts, whether physical or emotional.

Homeopathic medicine is an incredible healing art that has been used successfully around the globe for hundreds of years. Homeopathy is a gentle, effective, and safe form of natural, wholistic medicine that can be used to treat many conditions, illnesses, and diseases.

A Homeopathic Doctor takes the time to get to know her client personally and to learn about any problems he or she may be having or conditions from which they might be suffering. As a result, the homeopath is able to select the homeopathic remedy that best suits the client’s personality and symptom picture. Each person is unique and is treated as such. For example, a woman who has nausea during her pregnancy which is constant and not relieved by vomiting may be treated with a homeopathic remedy called Ipecacuanha, while a woman whose nausea is worse in the evening and before eating may be treated with a homeopathic remedy called Sepia. A woman who feels tired and weepy may be prescribed a homeopathic remedy called Pulsatilla, while a woman who is feeling tired and angry may be treated with Colubrina.

If you or someone you know is experiencing concerns of any sort during their pregnancy, consider natural, drug-free, homeopathic treatment. Homeopathic medicine allows women to achieve balance and restore health so that moms and their babies can start their lives together in the healthiest, happiest way possible…naturally!
