Men and their health

Men often lead stressful lives but are much less careful about looking after their health than women. For instance, men have fewer health checks and visit their GP less often and when they do go for treatment it is often because they have been persuaded to!

How can homeopathy help during childbirth

There are remedies that appear to be effective in dealing with possible problems during childbirth,such as a cervix which is slow to dilate, pain,excessive bleeding, retained placenta and other difficulties. Your homeopath will advise you and your partner on the use of remedies in labour. You might want to ask your homeopath if they can attend the birth or if they can recommend a labour kit. The following remedies are often required, both during and after labour, so if you are new to homeopathy or are unable to consult a homeopath, you can start out with these:

Aconite: the labour is too fast (any stage), the pains are very strong(even unbearable) and you have a feeling of panic. 

Constipation in pregnancy

Constipation is common in pregnancy as the hormones, which prepare the muscle of pelvis for labour,can slow the digestive processes down. Adjusting your diet can often help mild constipation. Increases your intake of fluids (especially water), fruit and vegetables, go easy on wheat products (as the gluten can have a clogging effect) and avoid iron tablets unless prescribed by your GP.

The suggestions in this article are for minor complaints. If your symptoms are severe or chronic (persistent), always consult a registered homeopath, your midwife and/or your general practitioner. If you are already undergoing a course of homeopathic treatment, contact your homeopath before prescribing yourself.

Morning Sickness

Symptoms of morning sickness include nausea, occasional vomiting and tiredness. Many women experience these symptoms during the first three months of pregnancy, usually in the morning when the stomach is empty, although it can occur at any time of the day.

The traditional cure of eating a dry biscuit before getting out of bed is worth trying.Avoid rich, fatty foods and try eating little and often if your nausea is worse when you are hungry.
Seek professional help if your vomiting is severe, for example if you are unable to keep food down and are losing weight or if it persists past your third month.

Homeopathy in pregnancy and childbirth

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances given in mainly tablet form, which trigger the body's natural system of healing. Based on you experience of your symptoms, a homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to you.

Homeopathy is ideal for women in their childbearing years as it is a gentle 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 medicined on their unborn child.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine that treats mental, emotional and physical illness. Homeopathic medicines are chosen to treat the whole person, because homeopaths believe the mind and body operate as one, and you cannot treat one part of the body without affecting the whole. Medicines are chosen to fit all the characteristics of the patient, so physical disorders are considered in relation to the individual’s mental and emotional state.

Homeopathy works on a principle known as ‘the law of similars’ or ‘like cures like’. This law states that a substance that can cause a disease can also relieve it.
The founding father of homeopathy

Homeopathic Alternatives

Certain homeopathic remedies are prepared in great dilution from tissues infected with a particular bacterium or virus. Termed nosodes, they have been used in some cases to help prevent infection e.g cholera nosode. Alternatively, a remedy may be used to treat the illness in question e.g china for maleria.

Vaccinations

With the exception of yellow fever vaccination, which is an essential requirement for certain countries, vaccinations are not compulsory - it is up to you to decide what is appropriate for your circumstances. An aid worker going to a refugee camp in Africa for three months is more likely to require a rabies vaccination than a business man spending three days in a well appointed hotel in the capital city. It has been estimated that the great majority of travellers' illnesses are not preventable by vaccines - they are more likely to be avoided by adopting the types of measures out lined above, and by maintaining high standards of personal hygiene.
