Turning a Breech Baby

Pulsatilla 30C: The most commonly indicated remedy for turning a breech baby. Give Pulsatilla 30C, 2-3 times per day, for a few days until the baby turns.

Viscum Album 30C: Try this remedy if Pulsatilla fails to turn the baby (given 2-3 times per day).

Kali Carb 200C to turn a posterior baby

Natrum Muriaticum 30C: This remedy is indicated if the baby is in a breech position due to too little amniotic fluid. The patient may be an emotionally closed woman, with chapped lips and dry mucus membranes.

Below are all 200C potencies which is used to treat an ACUTE matter.

Taking five pellets will not significantly increase the response over taking two pellets. The way it is usually explained is as follows. Homeopathic remedies appear to act by giving the body a subtle stimulation to which the body responds (if it is a well-indicated remedy). Example If you were to directly touch the electrical outlet with one finger, you would receive a shock of let's say 220volts. If you touch it with two fingers, or 10 fingers you'd still receive a shock of 220 volts.

This works the same way for the number of pellets taken each dose doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Take two of these BB-size pellets just to make sure they are getting enough to cause a response.

Sometimes the pellets used by the manufacturer are much smaller than BBs. Don't be alarmed. For somewhat smaller pellets, take three or four per dose, and for the tiniest (mustard seed sized) pellets take five to ten.

Remedies can be taken in water as well as dry under the tongue. The most common way to take them in water is to simply put a dose into a drinking glass of water.

Extreme Labour Pains

Chamomilla 200C: This is the stereotypical woman that you see in movies. She is very angry and could lash out at the people around her, including her partner. She is extremely sensitive to the pain and is extremely irritable.

Sepia 200C: Violent bearing-down pains as if everything would come out. A woman needing this remedy feels indifferent to the baby and/or never wanted the pregnancy. She is irritable, sad, and easily offended.

Aconitum Napellus 200C or 1M (1000C): Extreme fear of labour. She fears that she will not make it through the labour and delivery. She is convinced that she will die in labour. This is a major remedy for a very fast labour where contractions come on very suddenly (with extreme fear).

Nux Vomica 200C: The main remedy from fainting during labour due to severe pain. The pains cause a frequent urge to urinate and defecate. She is irritable, critical, and sensitive to odors, light and noise. Often indicated for women who have led a sedentary or indulgent lifestyle (with past use of stimulants and/or alcohol).

Ineffectual, Non-Progressive, Irregular or Weak Labour

Caulophyllum 200C: This is the most common remedy needed for labours that will not progress, when the cervix will not dilate. A useful remedy to give at the beginning of labour to produce good contractions. Once labour is well established, switch to Cimicifuga 200C to complete dilation.

Gelsemium 200C: When labour has been in progress for many hours but there is absolutely no progress with dilation. She is extremely weak and drowsy. She does not really want to participate in the labour. This remedy can be given prophylactically to women who have a history of painful, ineffectual labours.

Kali Carbonicum 200C: The main remedy for “back labour,” very severe labour pains in the back, and the labour does not progress. She is very chilly and most often women needing this remedy are overweight and sluggish.

Pulsatilla 200C: One of the main remedies for irregular labour pains, labour pains that come and go. She has the feeling that she may suffocate if she does not get cool air.

Dosage during Labour: Due to the intense nature of labour, the indicated remedy can be given every 15-30 minutes, then less often once labour starts progressing normally.
