After the birth, homeopathic remedies can be used to speed up the recovery of the mother and baby. Although the baby’s arrival is the happiest event for most parents, often this is accompanied with a different range of problems. Some babies seem to cry a lot which can be very upsetting, especially for new mothers. This can be relieved by homeopathic remedies, which calm unsettled babies and speed up healing from a traumatic birth.
Another great concern for new mothers is breastfeeding, especially if there is slow/insufficient milk supply. Homeopathy will establish a good flow of milk and there are homeopathic creams that can help to protect the nipples from cracking and soreness. There are also excellent and safe remedies for mastitis, painful nipples, tears or episiotomy wounds that will not heal, insufficient milk supply, tiredness and other postnatal problems.
Homeopathy is also very effective in treating post-natal ‘blues’, which are not an unusual manifestation and range from a very mild form, where mother is feeling low and exhausted, to severe postnatal depression. This is often a very difficult time for the mother as she is faced with disturbing negative emotions. These feelings need to be acknowledged, and a professional homeopath will give the mother constructive support while homeopathic remedies will quickly re-establish normal hormonal balance.
