Homeopathy and pregnancy. Threat of miscarriage and spontaneous abortion. Ovarian treatment with homeopathy

The expectant mother seeks to endure any ailment without the use of pills, because she is afraid of harming the child. However, homeopathy during pregnancy can not only alleviate the symptoms of the disease, but also make carrying a baby more comfortable for the mother and safe for the fetus.

The essence of homeopathy

Homeopathy offers only natural medicines that are prepared from plant minerals or organic materials taken from animals or humans. Neither raw materials nor preparation technology involves the use of chemical processes or reagents.

Homeopathic remedies are prepared by simple manipulations - rubbing and diluting. The process of dynamization (or potentiation) of the solution is added to each dilution, the essence of which is a multiple increase in the strength of the medicine. According to the law of "small doses" in homeopathy, the more potentiated (diluted) the remedy, the more powerful healing effect it has.

The selection of a medicine for homeopathic therapy is carried out according to the basic law of homeopathy - “treatment of like with like”. This means that the patient is prescribed that remedy in small doses, which, in large doses, causes a doctor's discomfort. Homeopathy forces the body to fight the disease on its own, initiating all its defenses for this.

You may have heard that homeopathy during pregnancy is salvation. Everything would be wonderful if not for the many questions to this very homeopathy.

If you have questions, then you have to ask. This is what we did. Questions are posed by Evgenia Starkova, an instructor in maternal art. Lebedeva Natalya Vladimirovna, doctor answers Center for Family Medicine and Homeopathy Dr. Gerasenko.

Let's start from the very beginning.

What is Homeopathy and what is it eaten with

Homeopathy from the Greek. ὅμοιος - "like" and πάθος - "disease." The principle of similarity is the main idea of ​​this type of medicine.

The history of homeopathy is quite interesting. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 1790, while translating a scientific work, found conflicting indications about the properties of china. To find out its true properties, he began to take hina every day and record the changes in his condition. It turned out that china caused him a fever, and other symptoms, against which this remedy was actually used. That is, a medicine that saves a patient from an illness can cause symptoms of this disease in a healthy person. This is how the principle of similarity was discovered.

In those days, people were treated with cleansing of the body and adults and children - bloodletting. It was believed that for recovery a person needs to renew up to 4/5 of all blood, and mercury chloride (an indicator of effectiveness was inflammation of the gums and the formation of ulcers on them). As you might guess, not the most positive way of treatment. And such treatment, fortunately, had opponents, including Hahnemann. The advent of homeopathy at that time was a real salvation. The photo below shows a reproduction of the painting "Homeopathy looks at the horrors of allopathy."

At the beginning of the 20th century, allopathy (a classic form of medicine in our country) appeared. Treatment with drugs gave faster results.

Then the struggle between homeopathy and allopathy began, and as a result, in Russia, homeopathy was recognized at the legislative level as home medicine. Wealthy people prescribed specialists from abroad, and the number of homeopaths in the country increased rapidly.

In 1936, a good part of them were repressed, and only in the 90s of the last century, when non-traditional directions of medicine came into fashion, we again started talking about homeopathy.

Question. I have met a lot of extremely negative reviews about homeopathy from people who turned to her help just in the 90s, when homeopathy was returning to the country after a long exile. What could be the reason for such a reaction, in your opinion?

Answer. Negative attitude towards the homeopathic method of treatment, and I have often met and still meet. There is a category of people who have never encountered this method, but adhere to the generally accepted opinion. There are patients who have resorted to this method and did not get the expected result.

But, to be honest, today, homeopathy is called methods that do not adhere to the basic principle of similarity. For example, the use of complex drugs (homotoxicology), the use of potentiated drugs, but to suppress individual symptoms. The basic principle of similarity is not observed here, when a patient is prescribed one medicine similar to the manifestations of the disease in a given period of time. All of this discredits the homeopathic method.

Often people think that homeopathy is almost the same as herbal medicine or naturopathy. Although herbal medicines can be used in homeopathy, they are completely different medical methods.

How it works

Homeopathy works on three main principles:

  • Like is healed by like
  • Low dose treatment
  • Treating a person, not a disease.

I wrote about the principle of similarity above. As for the second principle. A homeopathic medicine is prepared by repeated dilutions in an aqueous solution of alcohol and shaking. (The potency of the drug depends on the degree of dilution, and not only the medicine, but also its potency is selected for a particular person.) As a result of these manipulations, the original substance loses its original color, taste and smell, and the toxic substances lose their toxicity. Sugar crumbs are impregnated with a solution of the required dilution.

The raw materials for homeopathic remedies are minerals (for example Calcarea Carbonica), plants (for example Thuja, Arnica, Belladonna), waste products of fungi and other organisms (for example Sepia).

The third principle, in my opinion, is the most attractive. Homeopathy looks at the whole person, his temperament, preferences, fears, the body's reaction to heat or cold, and on the basis of this, a mono-drug is selected that is suitable for a particular person. This medicine is aimed at maintaining the body's defenses. And the body already copes with the disease on its own. As a result, not only physical health improves, but also the emotional state of a person improves.

Question. Homeopathy helps to cope with worries about the inner state of the soul. Could it be that homeopathy won't help? Are there situations when you need a good psychologist, not a homeopath?

Answer. I am always "for" professionals in their field. When a person is healthy in the mental and emotional sphere, working with a psychologist gives a good result. If a person is sick, he is not able to accept the help of a psychologist, to accept information. He doesn't know what to do with her. He can go to a psychologist for years without obvious changes. To accept information, "digest" it and make further decisions, a person must be healthy on a mental and emotional level.

Question. Those. health at the mental-emotional level is just homeopathy, I understand correctly? And it turns out that a person first needs a good homeopathic doctor, and then a psychologist, if the latter is needed at all?

Answer. It is not only homeopathy that makes healthy on the mental - emotional level, but the way of life, way of thinking, spirituality, stressful influences. This partly depends on the parental family. Yes, when a person is healthy at these levels, he often finds a way out of the current situation himself, moreover, some of the problems that bother him cease to be relevant.

Hence, it turns out that, having chosen the path of treatment with homeopathy, it is generally worth reconsidering (not everyone, of course) their views on life. After all, the main principle is aimed at maintaining homeostasis. This is a whole philosophy. That is, in order to maintain health, it is necessary not only to be observed by an intelligent specialist, but also to adhere to a healthy diet and lead an active lifestyle.

Shamans with tambourines?

Most sources describe homeopathy as an alternative form of medicine. And immediately in my head options for oriental practices, herbal treatment, shamans with tambourines, in the end.

In fact, homeopathic doctors are real doctors, with a medical education, who graduated from traditional medical universities. The diagnostic methods of homeopaths are the same as for ordinary doctors, you can be sent to donate blood and go for an ultrasound scan.

There are doctors who use conventional remedies, but sometimes prescribe homeopathic remedies, sometimes several at once. This is not homeopathy. It is an allopathic treatment using homeopathic medicines.

It is possible to prescribe a homeopathic medicine only after a conversation with a doctor, which lasts about 1.5-2 hours, in order to determine the very suitable remedy and the degree of its dilution. Therefore, you cannot prescribe the medicine yourself.

Homeopathy versus traditional medicine

Homeopathy:

  • The whole person is examined
  • The medicine does not harm the body, has no contraindications
  • The effect of the drug has not been proven

Traditional medicine:

  • A specific disease is being treated
  • The work of drugs has been proven, tests and studies are carried out before release
  • One is healed, the other is crippled

Doctors of classical medicine are sharpened to treat narrowly. A specific disease is being treated. That is, if you have a sore throat, the throat will be treated.

Minuses. Conventional drugs have side effects and, at times, incompatibility with other drugs.
Taking medications, such as pills, puts stress on the kidneys.

pros in traditional treatment, the effect of treatment, as a rule, is not long in coming. If you have a headache, then after taking the pill in 15-30 minutes the pain will go away.

The homeopathic doctor asks the patient in detail in order to choose the only correct medicine and the required dosage. Correctly selected homeopathic medicine helps to find the balance of the body as a whole, and independently cope with the disease.

Minuses. Healing takes longer. At first, there may be a deterioration in the condition, which is an important indicator for a doctor - then the disease seems to roll back.

Example. If a person had a sore throat, then a cough, and after complications in the form of pharyngitis. After homeopathic treatment, in the first days, an exacerbation of pharyngitis may occur, then a cough will appear, after a sore throat, and the cessation of all symptoms. But these are already pluses.

Pros:

  • Homeopathic remedies have no contraindications. They can be drunk by pregnant and lactating women, and even newborns.
  • The human body is restored with a mono-drug.
  • Obvious cost savings (homeopathic medicines are noticeably cheaper).

Question. Why do you think allopathy prevailed over homeopathy, because the prospect of cure in homeopathy is more attractive.

Answer. It would be wrong to answer this question unambiguously. It is quite easy to prescribe treatment using the allopathic principle; there are manifestations of them that need to be suppressed. (vomiting - antiemetic, high temperature - antipyretic, pain - pain relievers, etc.)

But the body does not become healthier and stronger, only the symptoms of the disease are suppressed, i.e. the body's defense mechanisms are forced to be silent, and in the near future the body stops defending itself and maintaining homeostasis (balance).

With the development of science, new drugs, new technologies are being created, and this is good, but when it is used rationally. Painful symptoms are suppressed instantly, without thinking about what consequences this treatment will have on the body as a whole.

Yes, and a modern working person has no time to get sick, he cannot afford to take a couple of days and just "lie down" at home. He takes fast-acting pops and a handful of antivirals and runs to work. "We treat one thing, we cripple the other" is a well-known phrase, but people, unfortunately, take it for granted and inevitability, and after a few years their strong body will exhaust all its resources and in order to somehow preserve the quality of life, it is necessary constantly take chemical drugs.

In addition, the pharmaceutical industry is a big profit and material benefit.

Homeopathy and pregnancy

Question. It is known that a remedy can take months and years to take. Of course, when a woman, being pregnant, turns to a homeopath, and her overall health is in order, then it is understandable. But what if a pregnant woman with a bunch of health problems comes to see a doctor, is it possible in this case to use homeopathy for a pregnant woman? And how does this happen?

Answer. The medicine should not be "picked up" for years and months. Another thing is that it may take those months and years to heal, it all depends on the level of health, how much it is affected and how deep. And often, you need to change several drugs.

During pregnancy, as a rule, exacerbation of chronic pathology and the symptoms of the disease are more clearly visible, as a result, the drug is clearer. In my opinion, during pregnancy, you need to take only homeopathic treatment, unless, of course, there are no life-threatening emergency conditions.

It is certainly best to start thinking about your health before pregnancy. Only preparation for pregnancy should not be limited to the sanitation of foci of infection, which most often happens. With this "treatment" we weaken the defense mechanisms of the expectant mother and increase the risk of having a child with pathology.

Patients who develop pathology associated with pregnancy go well with the homeopathic method. For example, diabetes during pregnancy. And we do without the use of insulin, which is most often prescribed for pregnant women and then, after childbirth, leads to a chain of painful conditions.

Treatment takes place in the same way as in non-pregnant patients, plus the supervision of an obstetrician-gynecologist.

Pregnancy management by a homeopath is effective both for toxicosis, for colds or acute respiratory viral infections, and for thrush, which is so common among pregnant women. And that you cannot cure with pills in this position, because you cannot. The main thing is to take the medicine, following the instructions of the family doctor (homeopath), without self-activity.

Doubts

1. Evidence-based medicine versus

There is no evidence based on trials that the drug actually works. Laboratories cannot find the starting substance in the drug, and we often hear about the placebo principle in homeopathic medicines.

The medicine is obtained by multiple dilutions. It is known and proven that water is able to memorize. So she is quite capable of remembering the properties of the medicine. Homeopathic doctor Veronika Nazarova said interestingly: “When diluted above 12, nothing remains of the original substance in the solution. However, think about it: can something, even divisible to infinity, turn into nothing? "

2. Negative reviews

There are many reviews about the miraculous cure with homeopathy. But there are people who have not been helped by homeopathy, they certainly strengthen the ranks of opponents.

I have one thought on this. The reason may be a lack of awareness of the person about the work of homeopathy.
Firstly, after the start of taking medications, a person may experience an exacerbation, for the doctor this is a good indicator, and the patient decides that it has become even worse and there is no need to apply again.

Secondly, ignorance of the peculiarities when taking homeopathic medicine. The homeopathic remedy is suppressed by: coffee, Coca-Cola, alcohol, mint, camphor, eucalyptus. Coffee and alcohol should be excluded (possible only in extreme cases and very rarely).

The medicine should be taken 15 minutes before brushing your teeth (due to the mint content in the toothpaste) and before eating. Also, do not use ointments containing camphor oil or mint. Even the time at which the medication is taken (morning / afternoon / evening) may be important.

All this reduces the chances of success, if you treat the treatment in the same way as it happens in the reality we are accustomed to - he swallowed a pill and ran about his business. Homeopathy requires careful and thoughtful treatment of oneself, not everyone is ready to provide this for themselves.

It is not easy to understand all this, but here is what I have learned and what I can advise you, dear readers. I do not believe in methods and theories, I believe in the talent and reputation of specific people - the currency of the twenty-first century.

“Alternative” medicine (like non-traditional medicine) attracts unusual people. Among them there are talents, people who have found their calling, people who are not afraid to look beyond the bounds of the accessible. But there are also scammers. While in an ordinary clinic (with rare exceptions) simple gray mice are sitting, stamping recipes ordered by sales representatives of pharmaceutical companies.

Therefore, a doctor must be chosen on the recommendation, or in some other way to check his reputation, it does not matter whether it is a homeopath or an ordinary doctor. By the way, now some doctors are blogging, from which we can learn about their views, experiences and cases from practice. I think it's great)

What do you think about this? Do you have any experience with homeopaths? I would be grateful if you share your feedback here.

All expectant mothers take medicinal substances with caution, since during pregnancy, the use of a number of chemicals is prohibited. Any medications can harm the health of the unborn baby. Therefore, homeopathy has become very popular - it is a method of treatment that consists in the use of highly diluted drugs, which in healthy people cause symptoms similar to those of the patient's illness. That is, the result of treatment depends on the dose of the substance taken. The dose is selected by the doctor individually for each patient.

Homeopathy during pregnancy has become very popular in the world. Homeopathic medicines are composed exclusively of substances of natural origin, not chemical, and are taken in small doses. If a woman falls ill during pregnancy, do not immediately "eat" all the pills that are at home. Remember that in this position, a number of medications are contraindicated or cause unwanted side effects. And then homeopathy comes to the rescue.

The most important thing for a woman is that the homeopathic method can be used throughout the entire period of pregnancy. So, for example, toxicosis of pregnant women occurs both in the early stages (up to 20 weeks of pregnancy) and later (after 20 weeks). Homeopathy in early pregnancy is very common and gives good results. The mildest forms of toxicosis: nausea, vomiting, salivation, aversion to certain odors and food products are treated exclusively with herbal preparations. In this situation, the following means help:

  • Colchicum. It is indicated for nausea, aversion to food and odors.
  • Sepia. It is used for nausea, gag reflex.
  • Nux vomica. It is indicated for morning sickness, sour eructation, increased irritability, tearfulness.
  • Pulsatilla.

A very common pathology among pregnant women: miscarriage. In such cases, a woman, without controversy, should be on an outpatient basis under the constant supervision of a doctor. But do not take exclusively chemical medications, combine them with more healthy medicinal substances that a homeopathic doctor can prescribe:

  • Arnica. Recommended when there is a threat of miscarriage due to a fall, injury, or blow.
  • Belladonna. It is indicated for pulling sensations in the lower abdomen and bloody discharge.
  • Aconite. It is used for anxiety conditions.

Homeopathy during pregnancy is very relevant: for colds and flu. Homeopathic remedies strengthen a woman's immune system to protect against viruses and bacteria. The body becomes more resistant to negative environmental factors. To increase the body's resistance, a homeopathic doctor may prescribe:

  • Anaferon is a very popular drug that generally strengthens the immune system of a pregnant woman.
  • Porcelain - used for the first symptoms of a cold, with a stuffy nose, sneezing, runny nose.
  • Allium flail 30. It is indicated for runny nose and lacrimation, intense cough and the first symptoms of bronchitis.
  • Euphrasia 30. Indications: intense headache, conjunctivitis, scleritis, facial flushing, runny nose.
  • China 30 - is used for general weakness of the body, when it seems that it hurts to touch the body, with headaches, fever, sweating.

During childbirth, drugs are used that soften and open the cervix, prepare it for the passage of the fetus. These drugs include:

  • Tsimicifuga
  • Caulophilum

Homeopathic remedies are widely used in the postpartum period, which is dangerous with bleeding. To prevent this complication, apply:

  • Sabina
  • Sekale

The problem of lactostasis is very relevant - this pathology in which a woman's milk stagnates in the mammary gland. In this situation, it will help:

  • Conium

Homeopathy is a unique method of treatment that makes it possible to maintain a pregnancy, stop nausea and vomiting, normalize a woman's mental status, and eliminate feelings of fear, depression, and irritability. During childbirth, homeopathic medicines prepare a woman's birth canal for the baby to pass unhindered, that is, facilitate childbirth and prevent perineal rupture.

In any pharmacy you can find all these drugs, but their use without consulting a homeopathic physician is strictly prohibited. The effect of medicinal substances depends on its dose, which should be selected by the doctor individually. Do not risk your health and the health of your unborn child.

Treatment consists in prescribing a weak solution to the patient, which can cause the same symptoms as the disease that must be cured. The dose is gradually reduced until it becomes microscopic.

Homeopathic medicines come in the form of a solution, in granules, in tablets that are placed under the tongue. During pregnancy, some homeopathic therapies can be helpful in dealing with minor ailments such as nausea, sleep problems, and anxiety. Certain medications at the time of labor can soften the cervix and thus help the contractions.

With homeopathic medicines, you can treat many acute diseases on your own, without even visiting a therapist. But remember: it is very important that you carefully observe the reactions of your body, know yourself well and can feel when self-medication is no longer effective. In case of bleeding, premature contractions, high blood pressure and high temperature, you should see a doctor anyway.

It is best to find out in advance where a pharmacy specializing in homeopathic remedies is located near you.

Go for homeopathy during pregnancy

Homeopathy is a special method of treatment, the basis of which is a kind of look at the problem of health and the general condition of the body. Specific homeopathic remedies are designed to prevent and treat some of the ailments during pregnancy.

How does homeopathy work during pregnancy?

Homeopathy is a gentle treatment in the full sense of the word. Nowadays, many families are passionate about this alternative medicine. She deals with the physical and mental aspects of the body, using an individual approach to each patient. Homeopathy enables a person to find inner balance. It is based on three main principles: the law of similarities, individualization of symptoms and an integrated approach.

Indications for the use of homeopathic remedies during pregnancy

The goal of homeopathy is to listen to the patient and find changes in his body. Homeopathic therapy is especially indicated for pregnant women suffering from ailments associated with childbirth, childbirth and breastfeeding. The advantage of homeopathy is that it eliminates the risk of toxic effects on the fetus. This method does not replace the treatment prescribed by the gynecologist or obstetrician.

You can use this therapy in three ways:

  • to fight diseases not related to pregnancy (such as the common cold). Homeopathic remedies will help you to some extent avoid taking classical medicines that are contraindicated in your condition;
  • to combat typical pregnancy ailments (nausea, cramps, heartburn, swelling of the legs, etc.), which sometimes cause great trouble. And in this case, traditional treatment can be avoided;
  • to improve the general condition: prevention and reduction of the number of problems associated with pregnancy and childbirth. Moreover, with the help of homeopathy, it will be easier for you to recover from the birth of your baby.

What you need to know about the first consultation with a homeopath?

Do not be surprised when the doctor asks: "Have you forgotten anything?", "What else, what?"; he needs to know what brought you to him. He may ask at "what hour of the day do you feel worse" or "what helps you." The more! the symptoms you specify in detail and clearly, the more valuable advice the doctor will give you.
