Arnica For use after physical trauma helping the body heal quickly, limiting bruising and soreness. It also helps with shock and tired restlessness following physical trauma. To use; Take one pill as soon as possible after third stage and another 3 in the following 24hrs, 3 the next day and 2 the day after. You may find taking 2 a day for a while will continue to ease the soreness or it may be the Arnica is not needed any more, it depends how much trauma your body has had. The main work is done soon after the birth. Most midwives are familiar with mothers taking Arnica after childbirth. For most labours Arnica 30 is sufficient, if you have a Caesarean or a very physically intense/traumatic birth then you will need to take Arnica 200. Most midwives are used to mothers taking Arnica. Aconite For SHOCK from fear or the intensity of birth in mothers, babies or partners, Aconite 200 can be taken (See instructions for taking remedies for acute states). Hypercal A combination of Hypericum (St. John's Wort) a strong antiseptic/anti-tetanus and helps heal the nervous system, and Calendula (Marigold) which heals skin tissues. Useful for episiotomy, stitches, cuts, tears, sore/cracked nipples, nappy rash. To Use; Add a few drops of the tincture to a small amount of warm water (about 2 eggcup fulls), stir and then use to bathe the affected areas. Hypercal ointment may be used for nappy rash and small cuts and grazes. Homeopathic treatment is able to help with many of the difficulties which can arise for the mother (e.g. mastitis and lack of energy or depression) and for the child (e.g. teething, eczema, persistent nappy rash and recurrent colds). A large percentage of children displaying symptoms of pain during dentition benefit from taking homeopathic teething granules (chamomilla - available from most health food shops). Another commonly encountered state, which calls for Sepia, is described below. Sepia Try taking Sepia when you feel a combination of exhaustion, extreme irritability (even violent anger towards your child and/or partner) and some sense of emotional numbness. Surprisingly, a state calling for Sepia as its remedy is usually temporarily improved through energetic activity such as dancing or cycling. This state may occur in the days immediately following the birth and at any time whilst parenting (for partners too!). Take one pill and if there is an improvement fine, take it easy, don't over stretch yourself. Take only one pill in any one day. If you need the remedy more frequently, if you are taking it quite often, or notice no change after a few doses, you are likely to benefit from contacting a professional homeopath. Instructions For Taking Remedies For Acute States The information below is offered as an introductory guide only, there are many exceptions to it, especially the time and dosage repetition. Take one dose, repeat if :- 1) You feel better at first and then worse again, or 2) You feel better but still not well (all improvement having ceased), or 3) If unsure of 1) & 2) take one dose every 10 minutes for 3 doses. If improvement is now underway assess repetition using 1) & 2). 4) If no better, stop, it's the wrong remedy. STOP IF WELL. STOP IF WORSE.
