Homeopathy is a gentle system of medicine ideal for everyone including pregnant women. Pregnancy is a unique God-gifted process and an ultimate experience for every woman. During pregnancy there are so many physiological changes in the body that lead to emotional and physical changes such as Nausea, Morning sickness, Diarrhea, Constipation, Heartburn, Anemia, Varicose veins, backaches, cramps, emotional disturbances etc. An excellent option of treatment for these disturbances is Homeopathy.
Homeopathy does wonders with these symptoms but within limits. Homeopathy does not resolve the symptoms, those are the physiological and necessary, but the treatment eases the experience of pregnancy.
Homeopathic medicines increase the absorption of the nutrients from the intestine of women and also increases the blood flow in women, providing good nutrition for the baby.
A general routine checkups is always required by an obstetrician obstrtecian and gynecologist
