Raising Families with Homeopathy

Here at the Center for Sacred Window Studies, we share voices from many perspectives and backgrounds. We believe that the sacred weeks post birth, and the experience of humanity is experienced in countless ways. We learn by listening to one another and honoring our stories. The views and opinions of our writers do not necessarily reflect the mission, viewpoints or opinions of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

Raising a child can be both heartwarming and challenging. From the moment of conception, through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and into the life of the child, families experience a whole spectrum of moments and emotions. When difficult moments arise – particularly when they involve the health and wellbeing of our children – we look for the safest and most effective way we can ease their ailments (as well as our own).

Homeopathy rests on principles that align with the laws of nature, and it stimulates the vital healing force within the individual.

Homeopathy is a holistic modality that aids in all of the transitions of raising a family. It rests on principles that align with the laws of nature, and it stimulates the vital healing force within the individual.  

Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years and is used worldwide. It is based on the Law of Similars, which states that any substance that can create symptoms in an individual has the capacity to also treat those symptoms. It is also founded upon the Law of Minimum Dose, which states that a substance is only needed in the minimum dose to stimulate the individual’s body to clear those symptoms. This second law is why homeopathic remedies are in dilution.

So we can see here that the remedy serves as the catalyst for the body to heal itself.

Homeopathy has been used to strengthen fertility, address discomforts during pregnancy, aid in all stages of birth, support lactation and the postpartum window. Additionally, homeopathy provides relief for common ailments experienced by babies and children.  

When I consult expecting mothers, I often suggest a homeopathic remedy kit. I then provide training on how to use it. With birthing kits, I train both the mother and the birthing partner. A homeopathic kit consists of multiple remedies suited to the situation. Think of it as a holistic first aid kit. 

When a symptom arises, the symptom picture is matched to the remedy picture. In some acute cases the symptoms can change quickly; such as during birth, with mastitis, or Baby’s first cold. As symptoms change, sometimes the remedy requires changing, too. When a kit is at hand, along with the understanding of how to use it, we can support symptoms to resolve more quickly. 

I believe homeopathy is a wonderful modality to lean on when raising a family.

Discover your local homeopath and consult with them on putting together the best homeopathic kit for you and your family. You will go to it time and time again. When selecting a homeopath, ensure that they are qualified and have completed the appropriate training. Depending on where you are located in the world, this can look a little different. But most homeopaths around the globe have completed at least a 4-year degree in Homeopathy and their main modality in clinical practice is Homeopathy.

When using homeopathic remedies, homeopathic principles should be applied. It is always best to consult a homeopathic practitioner who can make a lactation kit for you and guide you with potency and frequency of taking the indicated remedy. Always seek advice from your medical practitioner.
