Nowadays, everyone knows perfectly well that during the period of pregnancy a woman is forbidden to take very many of the traditional medicines, because you need to think about the state of health of the future child. Many drugs, penetrating the placenta, can cause serious damage to the developing fetus. Also, do not forget that certain drugs can enter the breast milk or their use can lead to a reduction in its quantity. However, sometimes you can not refuse treatment - in case of exacerbation of chronic diseases, acute illness, allergies, colds, gastritis or to relieve toxicity.
Homeopathy is recognized as a very effective and safe method of drug treatment (for both the mother and the child), which can be used during pregnancy, during labor and during lactation. The goal of homeopathic treatment is to help the body in its own struggle against diseases. It also helps women to give birth to a baby on their own.
The use of homeopathy in pregnancy can help to strengthen not only your health, but also the condition of the future child, because it directly depends on the mother. Also, homeopathic treatment, used during pregnancy, can prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases in the child after birth.
The essence of homeopathy
Recently, the homeopathic method of treatment has become very popular, mainly due to the fact that it is possible to treat a variety of diseases with the help of harmless drugs in people with an increased risk of side effects when using chemicals (allergic, pregnant, nursing mothers, newborns, infants and other).
The basis of the homeopathic method of treatment is the ancient postulate that "the like is treated like". That is, the use of homeopathy (homeopathic remedies) is directed against the same diseases that can themselves be caused with an appropriate dose of a homeopathic remedy. Homeopathic preparations, as a rule, are used microscopically with small doses and are specially processed substances of natural origin.
