hi,
i've heard that homoeopathic remedies can cause abortion. some of my teachers agreed while the one denied such action of remedies.......and i'm confused.......... but i think that it ( homoeopathic medicines) won't have such reaction if they are the right one, but what will happen if it is not the simillimum. seeking help.

Homeopathy is more practical than the philosophical thoughts. Each homeopath has its own believes and thoughts. All depends upon your observation which you encountered during your practice. You observe lot of things which are not written in books but when you try to discuss those things then mostly homeopaths deny those things because they feel that books are not saying wrong. By saying so, I would say, the observation and experience vary from person to person. This also depends upon your education and experience in the field of homeopathy.

To avoid this & to satisfy all, there can be continious upgradations, amendments & additions in consideration of new research & need of the time, in all basic, accepted & approved referances by some cental authority with the approval of senier homepaths. 65.5% voted members wanted revised edition of Organon.

Excuse me but what on earth has this got to do with the original question?

It is possible to cause an abortion with homeopathic remedies but not if they are prescribed homeopathically!! It is forbidden to cause an abortion purposely using remedies by the Society I belong to.

Un-necessary repitation of wrong selected homeopathic potencies in patients is a threat of abortion.

A very valid question indeed. In the absence of objective data, I would think REAL hard and TWICE before prescribing any remedy to an expecting mother. Short answer to your question, then is, that we don't know !

Since no data exists, so we can never be sure whether a remedy has the potential to cause abortion or not, also it depends on the constitution of the person receiving the remedy . The reason is that a lot of remedies show characteristics which are not documented anywhere but they still do possess that character.

Dr. MAS mentioned it well that it all depends on the personal experience of the prescriber.

Food for thought: A remedy aggravation can be caused in the infant feeding on breast milk and this has been confirmed by homeopaths. So you have to be really careful when dealing with expecting & lactating mothers and unless absolutely essential, avoid any remedy.

The more serious aspect of this is, how will you be able to live with the thought that you might be responsible for the abortion, even though it may have been unintentional.

I think this is an important aspect. How serious aggravation can be possible? Is it due to remedies from some toxic/hetrogenous substances or due to their higher or lower potencies? I think other remedies esp. in lower/medium potencies may not be of some big concern.

It's generally accepted that if a fetus is meant to develop to term, then it will. Homeopathic remedies are often prescribed throughout pregnancy for things like morning sickness, any dislocations that can take place (in the ribs, hips, back, for example) or, in some cases, to help the mother through things like turning the baby so that it doesn't have to be done manually. There are emergencies in pregnancy--like the threat of miscarriage--that also demand a remedy in order to save the pregnancy.

Pregnancy is no reason not to treat homeopathically, if treatment is needed. It really is irresponsible for people to try to scare mothers off homeopathic treatment here.
Yes, treatment should be, as always, under the care of someone qualified--there should be no self-prescribing going on (as would apply any other time, too).

Using homeopathic remedies to end a pregnancy? That's not really a good way to accomplish this, if that is what a woman has decided to do.

It is therefore, very necessary to slect some very safe & simple remedies which can be prescribed with complete knowledge of their physiological & toxic effects, bit accurately. It is difficult to judge some complex remedies for their physiological & toxic effects inspite of any best expertize.

Any remedy would be safe if it were homeopathic to the case and prescribed according to homeopathic principles.

We know all the remedy effects--both physiological and psychological--as you can see in all the proving records.

"Complex" remedies, as we already know, are not homoepathic to any state and have never undergone provings...so they are merely polypharmacy drugs used allopathically. Once you start using those, you are no longer practicing homeopathy...so they have nothing to do with this topic.

And yes, since they are just like any other allopathic drug, they are replete with unknown and dangerous side effects. Avoid at all costs, whether pregnant or not.
