Delivery

AILMENTS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER:

Actea Racemosa

This remedy may be given three or four months before delivery to ensure safe and painless delivery. It will help safe and painless delivery even if it is given a few days before the delivery. It also ensures living birth, but for this purpose it should be given thrice daily for six or seven months before delivery. It checks false labour pains also.

Pulsatilla

To avoid false labour pains and to ensure safe delivery in due time the medicine may be given in 1000 dilution every 15 minutes—three doses only at the time the delivery is expected.

It also puts the child in right position if it has changed its position in the womb, if given before the membranes are ruptured. Lochia scanty.
