BIOCHEMIC MEDICINES IN PREGNANCY
The
Biochemic System of Medicine is an off shoot of homeopathy. Dr.
Wilhelm Schuessler, a German homeopath, developed it. He believed that
disease is caused by the deficiency of inorganic salts in the human organism.
This deficiency causes a disharmony in the functions of the organic constituents
of the cell. He identified 12 such inorganic salts in the human body and after a
lot of clinical trials, put forward the Biochemic System of Medicine. Over the
years, this system of medicine has proved itself to be a safe and effective form
of therapy. This
article is for women who are experiencing the most eventful months in their
life. Pregnancy, though a physiological state, can leave a woman with either
pleasant experiences, or bitter experiences- if she develops some complications. Many
of my patients have become ecstatic on being told that they were pregnant,
especially so when they had been under treatment for an inability to conceive.
They feel on top of the world. Unfortunately, this mental state does not last
very long because they soon encounter the first bout of morning sickness. This
and other such discomforts during pregnancy make them feel miserable, especially
in the first twelve and the last eight weeks of pregnancy . The
Biochemic system has a lot to offer to the pregnant woman- not only during
pregnancy, but even after delivery. It is not only effective, it is very safe,
unlike allopathy, where many medicines are contraindicated during pregnancy as
they have a bad effect on the unborn child. The
following are some of the conditions and their biochemic remedies: Acidity:
Natrum phos Acne:
Calcarea sulph, Silicea Albumin

The
usual dose is 4 tablets of the 6x potency, 3 times a day. It may be necessary to
combine two or more biochemic remedies since a person can have a deficiency of
more than one salt. Note:
A detailed history followed by constitutional treatment by a good and
qualified homoeopath is necessary to treat the complaints that appear during
pregnancy. It is not advisable to resort to self-medication for any disease. The
above mentioned drugs are just a few of the remedies and are mentioned solely to
create awareness about the efficacy of biochemic medicines in pregnancy. |
