Pregnancy Case Studies treated with Homeopathy
Case1: Homeopathy helped in case of recurrent miscarriages, effectively
Twenty-nine-year-old Shruti came to us because she was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. She had conceived thrice
earlier: each time she had lost her baby in the third month. She was now two months pregnant. Our online homeopath took her case history, and found that she habitually miscarried in the sixteenth week. Based on this indication, she prescribed her Apis Mellifica. She was asked to follow-up during the following month but, she missed her appointment. She came eight months later with a box full of sweets and a cuddly baby in her arms, a normal full-term baby.
She said since her in-laws were so protective, they did not allow her to go out of the house; so, she could not visit our clinic for follow-up.
Case 2: Homeopathy can address morning sickness in pregnant women
Twenty-two-year-old Kavitha was continuously vomiting (a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum), two months into her pregnancy. Her day would start and end with vomiting. She was not able to retain anything – neither water nor food. The only thing she liked was pickles; she said she was just surviving on them.’ She also said that her attending gynaecologist had prescribed some medications, but they had not helped her.Based on her lean, thin constitution and intense craving for Pickles, our online homeopath prescribed her Sepia Officinalis. It took less than three days to control her vomiting. Besides this, her appetite was back to normal and she began to put on weight. Seven months later, she
delivered a healthy, full-term baby.
