Homeopathy can help with a birth trauma

Birth trauma: healing through homeopathy

If parents are about to give birth, they usually hope for a quick birth without complications and birth trauma. But the everyday life in the birth room sometimes looks very different. If there are birth disabilities or if the child is unfavorably in the womb, then doctors and obstetricians must intervene quickly with pliers or a suction cup to protect the mother and child from major damage or even save their lives. This can cause physical and psychological injuries whose healing can be gently and effectively supported by homeopathic remedies.

Trauma already possible during pregnancy

Trauma around birth can have many causes and affect the child's physical and mental development. Even events during pregnancy, in addition to complicated birth patterns, can have a lasting effect on the child's as well as parental condition. In consultation with the treating physicians, medicines from homeopathy can be of help right away or even help to resolve an early trauma years later.

A trauma can already arise during pregnancy. Even in pregnancy, events that are considered commonplace today can cause trauma to the unborn baby. Thus, in an amniotic fluid examination, the innermost envelope of the developing embryo is injured by medical devices. This often leads to a cramping of the unborn child and subsequent convulsions in the mother. It should also be borne in mind that existing protection is being lost for the first time.

Similarly, ultrasound examinations can traumatize the child already during pregnancy due to the strong heat development as well as accidents or shock experiences of the mother.

Birth trauma with mother and baby

While the mother is usually injured by cracks in the perineum, vagina or uterus, birth trauma in children in the context of severe births, through obstetric measures such as caesarean section, suction cup or forceps, births from pelvic end position ("breech position") and if the child World must come even though it is actually still immature.

If only the passage of the head through the bony pelvis of the mother can lead to haemorrhages and hematomas in the cranial area, then the forceps also cause bruising on the head or paralysis of the face area. Births from pelvic endings are often associated with muscle tears and paralysis, as the baby is about to be pulled out of the pelvis. In many cases, children also suffer a fractured collarbone during birth.

Physical and emotional effects

Of course, physical injuries that occur before, during, or shortly after birth through forceful use (with forceps, suction bell, hypodermic needles) are initially associated with pain that accompanies the child at the start of life. Add to that the fear of the mother, which is perceived by the child. Above all, however, the emotional shock of the parents due to the experience of not being able to protect the baby from pain and injury. Although most physical injuries heal without consequences due to birth defects or interventions, some parents report later on sleep disturbances or a claustrophobia, which shows up early when putting on or buckling in the child seat.

Some adults find in a hypnotherapy or other forms of therapeutic trauma work the causes of his anxiety disorder in a birth trauma. With a homeopathic constitutional treatment birth trauma can be processed in adolescents or adults, without them need to be aware of it.

Homeopathy for body and soul

Homeopathic remedies work not only on the physical but also on the emotional level, so that they are suitable for supporting both the processes of the body's healing of wounds and bones as well as the processing of mental shock. They should be given to babies in low potencies (eg D4, D6) or taken by the mother in consultation with the doctors. Appropriate remedies in higher potencies, which have a very profound effect, are to be determined by trained homeopaths (alternative practitioner or doctor). The first remedy after the birth shock may be Aconitum, and experience has shown that bruising and hematoma heal faster after Arnica's administration. If nerve fibers are injured, as is the case with facial and arm paralysis, Hypericum (St. John's wort) should be effective. The healing of a collarbone fracture can - like bone fractures in general - be accelerated with Symphytum (comfrey), while in case of a muscle tear cuprum will help, especially if muscle cramping is involved.

The father, who usually has to wait and see the action as powerless, can help with the processing of the shock experience the emergency drops (Rescue Remedy) of the Bach flower essences, which he should take immediately and for a few days to weeks.
