Homeopathy and Women’s Health:

  Women go through different stages in their lives such as puberty, pregnancy and childbirth, motherhood and menopause. Today these stages have become medicalised and are often seen by the medical profession as illnesses. And while we all recognize the benefits of conventional medicine, there are alternatives, which can be more effective, natural and holistic, such as Homeopathy.

  Homeopathy can work directly with the hormonal system to help it to become more balanced and to work more efficiently. It also enables women to explore the emotional aspects to the changes they are experiencing. These can be monthly changes, such as PMT and period problems. Or more profound changes such as puberty, childbirth and menopause.

  Homeopathy is perfectly safe to take in pregnancy. As the remedies are diluted, they do not cause a toxic build up in the body. They work very gentle to help ease the symptoms of pregnancy sickness, heartburn, ligament pains and anxiety. Homeopathy can help women with the birth and afterwards, both physically and emotionally, with labor pains, afterpains, and breast-feeding problems. Homeopathy can be very useful in postnatal depression and post traumatic stress disorder (this is particularly relevant for women who have had a traumatic birth).
