Childbirth
is a special time in a woman's life, a time of evolution
when she blossoms into motherhood, and the family is
born. It is the second gateway of initiation towards embodying
her inherent female wisdom (the first gateway being menarche,
the beginning of menstruation, and the last, menopause,
the crone or wise woman years). As she is supported by
her partner, family, friends, birth attendant, as well
as her environment, in giving birth to her child, so
she
taps into the powers of surrender, trust, and selflessness
that enable her to mother wisely. Homeopathy offers the
birthing woman a gentle, yet powerful, support to overcome
many challenges along the way. It is a natural system
of medicine without the side effects often accompanying
conventional
medical treatment.
The goal
of this book is to empower you to use homeopathic medicines
safely and effectively during childbirth and the immediate
postpartum period even if you are a newcomer to it. It
is not meant to replace the midwife or doctor, but to give
you a first line of action that can prevent the need for
further intervention.
I welcome
you to a unique healing approach that will build your self-confidence
and understanding of the healing process. Though you are
sure to experience many powerful results using the information
included,it is only the beginning of what homeopathy has
to offer. Homeopathy is a complex science/art that involves
a lifetime of study to master. A suggested list of books
and resources to continue your study is provided at the
end of this book.
For many
years, as a midwife, I have been blessed as a witness to,
and participant in, the miracle of childbirth. It is clear
to me that a woman inherently knows how to give birth when
she is given the loving support to believe in herself.
I hope this book will assist you to trust and rely on that
inner wisdom. Happy birthing!
