Homeopathy For Women Today

Hi everyone

Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life. Yet, for many of us it is a stressful and very uncomfortable time.  Many of us avoid taking any medications due to the possible consequential negative effects on the unborn baby. Homeopathy offers a safe and effective treatment option.  

I came across a great audio interview with Miranda Castro who is a British Homeopath practising in the USA. Click here to listen to this audio interview.  Thanks to fellow homeopath Melissa Burch (www.InnerHealth.us) for this great interview. 

Miranda Castro is also a well-known author of many books on homeopathy, including “Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth and Your Baby’s First Years”.  Check it out at Amazon.com by clicking on the image below.

 Enjoy your pregnancy with Homeopathy, and ensure good health for yourself and your baby……….

As women, we face unique health challenges. Our bodies are regulated by monthly cycles as rhythmic as the phases of the moon.

Normally, these cycles flow naturally and effortlessly. Yet the delicate interplay of hormones, stress, environmental pollutants and improper diet can cause imbalances. That’s when healing herbs and natural homeopathic remedies may help restore equilibrium.

“Many women’s health problems are very easily treated with homeopathic medicine,” observes Jacquelyn Wilson, MD, former president of the American Institute of Homeopathy and a homeopathic family practitioner in Escondido, Calif.

PMS, irregular periods, cramps, vaginitis and bladder infections all respond to homeopathy, Wilson notes. And unlike conventional therapies, homeopathy seeks to balance the system by stimulating the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Wilson has used homeopathy for the past 20 years in her medical practice. She became interested in homeopathy because she felt it offered more relief for women’s health problems. “In allopathic (conventional) medicine, narcotics such as pain pills are the primary treatment for menstrual cramps, while birth control pills are used to regulate periods. In homeopathy, thousands of medicines are available, so there are a lot more treatment choices.”

Jennifer Jacobs, MD, agrees. After practicing conventional medicine, Jacobs investigated homeopathy 20 years ago and now uses it almost exclusively in her practice in Seattle, Wash. “I turned to homeopathy because it’s a natural system of medicine that stimulates the body’s own healing mechanism, and there are no side-effects,” she explains.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine developed in the late 1700s by German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Based on the principle of “like cures like,” homeopathic remedies cause disease symptoms in overdose yet cure the same symptoms when prescribed in minute, homeopathic microdoses.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 2007/PRNewswire/ — On yesterday’s Oprah Winfrey show, themed “What the Stylemakers Can’t Live Without,” supermodel and supermom Cindy Crawford revealed that homeopathic medicines are must-haves in her life.
    “I am the doctor of our family and I’m a big fan of homeopathy,” she said. “If I have the kids, for sure, I always take this with me,” she explained, holding up a plastic kit containing small vials of homeopathic medicines. Cindy said she carries these medicines in case of bee stings, mosquito bites, and bruises. “You need like 5 of those little pellets,” she said, adding that they “taste sweet so the kids will take them.”
    Millions of parents across the country, like Cindy, are now using homeopathic medicines because of their reliability and safety. According to Nathalie Stern, MD, a Manhattan-based pediatrician and mother of two, parents are turning to homeopathic medicines because they have no known side effects or drug interactions.
    “I always recommend that parents include homeopathic medicines in their family’s first aid kits,” Dr. Stern said. “For instance, arnica pellets are ideal to safely treat kids at the playground or on the sports field. Arnica works especially well for pain, swelling and bruising, which is inevitable with active kids.”
    Dana Ullman, MPH, author of The Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy (North Atlantic Books, October 16), says he is not surprised that celebrity parents are looking to homeopathy to meet their families’ health needs.
    “Homeopathy is the #1 alternative medicine in Europe, and has been popular there for over 200 years,” Ullman said. “There is a good reason why celebrities have used and advocated for homeopathic treatments for themselves and their families — homeopathy works!”
    Ullman’s book includes references to Cindy Crawford’s interest in homeopathy on page 180. He said that she, along with 11 American presidents, seven popes, Charles Darwin, J.D. Rockefeller, Tina Turner, David Beckham and Mother Teresa, are among the famous who have used and endorsed homeopathic medicine.
