Homeopathy for Postpartum Mental Health.

The most beautiful time is not always this way for moms.  For many it is like a roller coaster.

The postpartum period is a massive shift from within.
The physical demands.
The hormonal shifts.
The perceptions. The shame. The fatigue. The excitement.
The expectations. The exhaustion.
The joy. The depletion. The anger. The love. The resentment.
The gratitude.

So many emotions. So much physical change.
Just. So. Much.
At once.

Homeopathic medicine is a beautiful modality to support.
To empower a new mother. Homoeopathy shifts from deep within to restore balance in the hormonal sphere and mental/emotional.

There are multiple remedies to support physically. But to begin the support emotionally when indicated is priority.

If mom is harmonized on the emotional level the rest falls into place.

These are the most commonly indicated remedies but there are many more. 

SEPIA.
The premier hormonal harmonized for a depleted mom. May feel resentment toward baby and husband. Anger. Overwhelm. Depression. Indifferent. Trouble bonding with baby. Flat. Aversion to any family duties or house work. An overbearing weighted sensation in the pelvic area.

PULSATILLA.
Sensitive. Extreme mood swings. Crying with ease. Needy. Insecure. Worried. Clingy. Seeks consolation and company. Better in fresh air. May crave sweets.

The postpartum period doesn’t have to be a struggle. Homeopathy understands this.

The best course of action for a mom in need is to seek the care of a qualified homeopath to assess deeper and to choose the correct remedy, potency and frequency.
