i thought that it would be great to have a compilation of natural remedies for pregnancy and childbirth..
im interested in herbal medicine & homeopathics.. i will share what i know and i hope that you will share what you know.
These are all things that have worked for me
Morning sickness:
Homeopathic remedies..
Pulsatilla
Ignatia (for emotional upset)
Nux Vomica
Sepia
Ipecac
B-complex vitamins
Red raspberry, ginger, chamomile & mint teas
Protein & iron rich foods
Heartburn:
chewable papaya enzymes
raw almonds
slippery elm
Meadowsweet
chamomile
Leg cramps:
a good natural Calcium magnesium suppliment
Homeopathic Magnesia Phosphorica
Potassium
pregnancy herbs
Red Raspberry Leaf:
rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, vitamins B, C, and E, and the alkaloid fragarine--the constituent that contributes to the plant's potency as a pregnancy tonic. It increases fertility in men and women (especially when combined with red clover), tones the uterus, eases morning sickness, and assists in plentiful milk production.
To make a tea, add one to two tablespoons dried leaf per cup of boiling water and steep ten to 20 minutes
Nettle:
rich in biochelated iron, calcium, and protein, as well as a host of other important nutrients.The benefits of drinking nettle infusion before and throughout pregnancy include nourishing and strengthening the kidneys, increasing fertility in men and women, nourishing the mother and the fetus, diminishing leg cramps and childbirth pain, preventing hemorrhage after birth, reducing hemorrhoids, and increasing the richness and amount of mother's milk.
Oatstraw:
a great form of natural assimilable calcium.
Alfalfa:
loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K, eight digestive enzymes, and numerous trace minerals. It is particularly helpful in late pregnancy because the vitamin K it supplies promotes proper blood clotting, thereby reducing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
dandelion root:
Both the leaf and root of this common garden "weed" provide many essential nutrients: vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, potassium, and many trace elements. The root is said to be a specific remedy for the liver. The leaf is a mild, nonirritating diuretic, which can reduce water retention during pregnancy. You can eat flesh leaves as salad greens, cook them, or steep them as a tea. However, because dandelion is rich in vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that can accumulate in the body, use only in moderation.
other good herbs..
red clover, meadowsweet
fluid retention
fresh dandelion leaves
drink lots of fresh water
constipation:
Homeopathic remdies
Bryonia
Nux vomica
Sepia
