Homeopathy is a natural, nontoxic and non-invasive system of healing
that cures an individual rather than just treating the symptoms.
Medicines administered under homeopathy are safe, and thus can be given
even to pregnant women and babies (with the guidance from the
physician.)
Quite a few women suffer from nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP)
or morning sickness especially during the first trimester. The term
“morning sickness” is actually a misnomer as the feeling can last
throughout the day or hit you at any point in time, but for quite a few
women symptoms are worse in the mornings and relief comes as the day
draws to a close. Though in most cases, morning sickness clears up by
about 14 weeks, sometimes it persists a little longer and can become
worrisome. Women are reluctant to take medications to treat the
condition as they fear damage to the fetus, wisely so! Homeopathy is a
good choice of treatment as it is gentle and safe when compared to
conventional treatments.
Homeopathy suggests a host of medicines such as Colchicum (meadow
saffron), Sepia (cuttlefish), Cocculus (Indian cockle) and so on to
treat morning sickness but the best cure can be identified only after
carefully studying the symptoms. Sepia is ideal for pregnant women who
feel emptiness in the stomach, bitterness in the mouth and develop an
aversion to the smell or thought of food. These women might suffer from
constipation and are often irritable. Sepia is often the most commonly
prescribed medication for morning sickness. Pregnant women with constant
nausea can go for Ipecacuaha (Ipecac). Such women should avoid car or
bus rides as they tend to aggravate the symptoms. Veratrum album (white
hellebore) is ideal for those who suffer from violent retching, diarrhea
and abdominal cramps. These women develop a craving for cold drinks,
pickles, and fruits. They usually break into a cold sweat with the body
turning ice cold. Nux vomica (poison nut) can treat women who suffer
from nausea, vomiting and constipation during mornings. Women with
severe retching and extreme sensitiveness to cooking odors can be given
Colchicum (meadow saffron).
They are usually intolerant to the smell of
cooked fish, meat or egg. Pulsatilla (windflower) works on women who
experience severe burping and nightly diarrhea. These women tend to be
very high-strung during pregnancy. Some women suffer from extreme nausea
and vomiting that gets aggravated by motion. They experience a sinking
feeling in the stomach and grow increasingly wretched. They tend to
develop an aversion to tobacco smell. Tabacum (Tobacco) usually proves
effective for pregnant women with the above mentioned symptoms. Lacticum
acidum (lactic acid) is ideal for the classic case of morning sickness
wherein the person wakes up with a nauseous feeling and stomach burn. In
most cases, the feeling disappears after a meal. Other medications such
as Arsenicum album, Symphoricarpus racemosa (snowberry), and Cocculus
(Indian cockle) can also be used for treating morning sickness in
pregnant women. Cocculus treats exhaustion along with morning sickness
in women. Symphoricarpus deals with gastric issues, vomiting and
appetite loss, while Arsenicum album helps women dealing with debility,
exhaustion, diarrhea and vomiting.
The reason behind this general improvement in health with homeopathic
medicines is the factoring in of all the symptoms that a pregnant woman
experiences under the guise of morning sickness. So, instead of just
attacking the condition, Homeopathic medications also deal with all the
accompanying symptoms.
