28 13. Infertility, Abortion / Miscarriage Homoeopathic Remedies for Common Problems associated with Pregnancy and Childbirth Sepia is considered to be a very effective treatment for infertility. The diagnosis for Sepia must not be based on the physical constitution of the patient alone. Unless the constitution of the patient exactly matches that of Sepia, it will prove to be of no use. If the constitution of the patient only resembles that of Sepia (rather then completely matching it), then Kali Phos will be found more useful than Sepia. Sexual weakness resulting from nervous tension as well as the tendency to abort repeatedly (habitual abortion), can be effectively cured with Kali Phos. If there is a risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy, then Viburnum Opulus Q, ten to fifteen drops dissolved in small amount of water, used regularly in the first and second month of pregnancy is considered to be more effective. Sabina is given in the third month, while Kali Carb is given in the fourth and fifth month. Kali Phos can, however, be given every month. An abortion threatened by a fall or an accident must be treated with Arnica 1000 before the appearance of symptoms. The addition of Kali Phos to Arnica will be much more beneficial. Caulophyllum 200 also is very effective prophylactially. Once the bleeding starts (threatened abortion), then Ferrum Phos must be added to Kali Phos. Likewise, Millefolium and Phosphorus together can avert the abortion. Sometimes, the baby is malpositioned in the uterus, posing a threat to normal delivery; Pulsatilla is usually very useful in the correcting the position to normal. If it fails, then Kali Sulph, which is the chronic of Pulsatilla, should be tried. Kali Sulph strengthens the uterus against the tendency to abort. Kali Sulph is useful in every type of leucorrhoeal inflammation and burning sensation. Uterine prolapse, and pain and pressure in the womb are best treated with Kali Sulph, provided other symptoms of Kali Sulph are present. In Kreosotum, the typical sign is bleeding. The slightest pressure, like the simplest touch during an eye examination, can cause bleeding.
