Is it possible to use natural remedies to go through and then recover quickly from childbirth? According to Dr. Merrie P. Wycoff, author of "Born In org*smic Bliss: Turn Your Contractions into Expansions," women can use these methods with success. For example, Wycoff points out, "From premature labor to overdue labor, there are a myriad of homeopathic remedies to aid in the process, or to move the process along." Wycoff's goal is to let expectant mothers know that they can have a wonderful, natural, drug-free birthing experience.
"Unfortunately the business of labor and delivery in America has become over-medicalized," said Wycoff, who is a mother, author and doula-in-training.
Wycoff added that childbirth is supposed to be a part of a woman's natural, whole-life experience. "A woman has the natural ability and strength to deliver a baby safely and comfortably, under normal circumstances, without the use of drugs or medical intervention," she said.
Wycoff's tips provides 9 steps to how to experience and recover from natural childbirth. Topics include natural remedies for morning sickness, homeopathic remedies for labor, and how to effectively deal with postpartum depression.
"Classical homeopathy has been in use for over 200 years, originating in Germany," said homeopath Sonya McLeod, in an article on the Prenatal Coach blog. "It involves the use of only one homeopathic medicine at a time to treat a variety of common health complaints, including difficulties experienced during childbirth." McLeod added that natural remedies are safe and non-toxic when used properly.
