What is Pulsatilla and Caulophyllum? Is it okay to take when pregnant to induce labor? Where can I find it?

Question

I know its a bunch of questions, but I read that you can take Pulsatilla 1m and Caulophyllum 200c to induce labor. I'm 39 weeks, 2 cm dilated, 65% effaced, and the baby is at 0 station (or engaged). I'm so miserable and looking for home remedies to induce. This is the only time I've heard about these meds or whatever they are, so if they are safe, where would I find them? All answers are welcome. Thank you!!

Hi girl2woman,
Pulsatilla is a homeopathic remedy said to be most suitable for shy, hypersensitive people who tend to feel warm rather than cold. You not needed these product.

But, Caulophyllum is a small genus of perennial herbs in the family Berberidaceae. Common names for plants in this genus include Blue Cohosh, Squaw Root, and Papoose Root. As hinted at by its common names, this plant is well known as an alternative medicine for inducing childbirth. Yes, these are said to stimulate the start of contractions.

Here are safe ways to induce labor and finally have your baby:
1. Walking. Walking stimulates the muscles in your uterus and may stimulate contractions.
2. Tea with Thyme. That tea with thyme has induced labor for many women.
3. Basil and Oregano. That herbs can stimulate labor contractions.
4. Raspberry Leaf Tea. It stimulates contractions.
5. Nipple Stimulation. This odd method causes oxytocin, which in turn makes your uterus contract.
6. Relaxation exercises. Relaxation exercises have been known to relax the woman into a state for labor to start. You can find a variety of relaxation exercises online.

It should be noted (again) that none of these ways should be used unless the pregnant woman is near her due date. More than likely they will not work anyway unless the baby is ready to be born. You can give nature a little nudge but not likely a giant push, which you would not want to do anyways.

Answer 4

Going for a walk will not induce your labor. It is actually good for you to get exercise now, and walking will help your baby get down into your pelvis more, and can also help strengthen your pelvic muscles which can make for an easier delivery. And if you do go into labor, you are 39 weeks along, and your baby will be just fine! Tell your husband not to worry and that it will be good for you to go for a walk, as long as you don't overdo it.

Both of the remedies are very helpful in childbirth if the symptoms of the remedy are similar to the patients symptoms. Remember Homeopathy treats the Patient not the disease or disorder. Here is a homeopathic prescription which help you in making childbirth easy and less painful and would help in fending any complications in the process of childbirth without any side effects or complications of any sort :-
Take PULSATILLA in 30 potency and these cell salts MAG PHOS and KALI PHOS both in 6X potency take all three of them together three times a day half an hour before or after meals regularly till you give birth you can take them every hour initially till the labour pains start after that three times a day will be enough. And remember to take ARNICA MONTANA in 1M potency(1 Dose) when you go into labour and one dose after giving birth. By the grace of God these will help you 100% without any side effects or complications. The above prescription is time tested and proven over time and has always proved to be of help . Keep me posted about your progress.
CAULOPHYLLUM is used more as an emergency remedy if the O's are rigid and there is difficulty in childbirth in that case use CAULOPHYLLUM and ARNICA MONTANA both in 200 potency together once daily. In case of a breached baby take PULSATILLA in 200 to correct the baby's position.
Please feel free to email me with your detailed symptoms exactly the way you feel them so I can help you better . Do not try to exceed the potency or the given dosage in any case

Take Care and God Bless.
