“Arnica is everybody’s favorite homeopathic remedy. During pregnancy, it can help with minor injuries, like discomfort from an active baby who kicks, causing soreness. During labor, Arnica can help the muscles to do their work with a minimum of physical stress and strain - and may even speed the labor itself. After teh birth, Arnica will help strained tissues to recover their former strength.”

Without homeopathy, Jane would have had four Cesareans!

“Jane had already had one Cesarean delivery for a breech baby. Her second baby was still in the breech position at 36 weeks, but I had learned some homeopathy in the interim and gave Jane the homeopathic remedy Pulsatilla.   The baby turned himself around and delivered easily a couple of weeks later. Ditto for babies three and four. Without homeopathy, Jane would have had four Cesareans! And when she complained of sleeplessness in pregnancy number four, homeopathy worked for that too. For me, integrative medicine means trying homeopathy first:  if it doesn’t work, the conventional stuff is still there.”
