OT: homeopathy

Body: 

I remember a while back a member seemed to have some knowlege in homeopathy..don't remember who.

I feel the flu coming on (dd has it) and I want to know if I can take oscillococcinum (anasbarbariae hepatis et) while pg.
can't find any info online, too early to call midwife.

if anyone knows, please respond. thanks so much!

I did take it while pg - I just assumed that it was OK and the pharmacist also agreed with me later.

I hope that you will be feeling better soon.

thanks reka

I'm going to wait until tomorrow to double check with the mw, don't feel its important enough to call her at home (she's not in the office today).

I'm neurotic about taking anything during pg, so in the meantime I'm trying to rest and drink lots of fluids, you know all the common sense stuff.

Hi granolamom,

I applaud your being so careful during pregnancy. I was the same way, and also all through the time I've been breastfeeding.

I've taken about 40 hours of homeopathy training. All my teachers and my midwife assured me that homeopathic remedies are fine during pregnancy. I used them during both pregnancies. I have also used them a lot to treat the rare minor colds in my kids. I have a 4 year old boy and a 2 year old boy - both very healthy. They have actually never even been sick beyond a rare light cold and 1 mild fever each, all of which I treated with homeopathy.

Let me know if you have any other questions...

Carolyn

thanks carolyn!
I actually do have questions....would you mind if I email you for specific homeopathic suggestions?

Hi,

Yes, feel free to send them to me. 40 hours is not a lot of training, but I definately have experience using remedies for my family the past 3 or 4 years. Some of my friends have taken a lot more classes, so if I don't know the answer, I may know someone who does...
