Pregnancy Treatment Perth
It is important to understand that homeopathic potencies used in this Perth clinic are perfectly safe during pregnancy. Any homeopathic remedy above the twelfth centesimal contains only medical information,
not chemical substance, and it is recognised by both the World Health
Organisation and the Australian Therapeutic Goods Act as non-toxic,
safe and freely available.
Constitutional treatment during pregnancy not only helps the mother but we believe it also helps the developing foetus, by modifying the expression of negative inherited tendencies that we call miasms in homeopathy.
Stated simply, this means the baby will be healthier and have less risk
of family tendencies like asthma, hay-fever, eczema, psoriasis, etc. I
have seen this many times, by comparing siblings born before the mother
had homeopathic treatment. Also, we believe the mother will have an easier labour
from treatment, as certain landmark studies have shown. Please note that
in no case do we advise going against the advice of the doctor,
gynaecologist or midwife during the pregancy or labour.
Things that may be treated by homeopathy during pregnancy include:
- Nausea of pregnancy (morning sickness),
- Haemorrhoids and varicose veins,
- Constipation of pregnancy,
- Miscarriage (there are even remedies specific to each month),
- Albuminuria and oedema (fluid retention) of pregnancy,
- Pre-eclampsia and toxaemia,
- Diabetes of pregnancy,
- Pubic and sacral symphysis pain (symphysiolysis).
Childbirth/Labour
During
the last month of homeopathic treatment during pregnancy, the focus is
on preparing for labour by tonifying the uterus. During labour, depending on the exact symptoms, there
are remedies to help with these specific circumstances:
- Overdue labour,
- Premature labour,
- Failure to dilate,
- False labour pains,
- Extreme pains,
- Irregular labour,
- Failure to progress,
- Mental and emotional stress
After birth, remedies will help with such difficulties as retained
placenta, perineal laceration and tears, healing episiotomy and
caesarean wounds and minimising scarring, after-pains, post-partum
infections, retention of urine and abnormal lochial discharge.
