Dr. Shoshana C. Kesner PhD., DHM, BSN Doula (Israel & America)

Many people have heard of raspberry leaf tea for toning up the uterus, or aromatherapy oils for relaxation, but did you know that homeopathy is excellent for all sorts of problems experienced during pregnancy and labor? From morning sickness to varicose veins and anxiety to exhaustion, Homeopathy works!

What is Homeopathy?

In 1796 a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, discovered a different approach to the cure of the sick which he called Homeopathy.

Homeopathy is an effective and scientific system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. It recognizes that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person, and that it is the patient as a whole who needs treatment, not the disease.

How Can it Help Me?

Homeopathy can help everyone! Whether it be prescribing you a constitutional remedy (a medicine perfectly suited to you as person, which enables your body to restore everything to full health) in order to aid conception and a healthy pregnancy, a birth preparation session (where I will provide you with a kit of remedies – tailored individually to you – to help your labor, delivery and post partum period progress smoothly), or treatment for your baby or child (I have had great success in treating babies and children with allergies, eczema, glue ear, colic, teething problems, fever and febrile convulsions, childhood illnesses, tendency to catch colds and tonsillitis, constipation and behavioral problems).

Is it Safe?

Yes absolutely! Homeopathy is one of the safest forms of medicine known to man. The incredibly dilute and gentle nature of the remedies we use means that homeopathy is largely without side effect and thus perfectly safe for those wishing to conceive, pregnant ladies, those breastfeeding, newborns and older babies and children. In fact it is in these precise situations, because of its safety, that many chose to turn to homeopathy!

Why Use Homeopathy?

I can prescribe for you using an effective selection of remedies. This has the advantage of your partner not only playing an active role in the delivery but with the correct remedies I can help prevent the need for other interventions. Remedies are all non-toxic and will not harm you or your unborn child.

How Do Remedies Help?                            

Because homeopathy is a holistic medicine, a single remedy can treat many symptoms. For example, the remedy Chamomilla is for someone in a state of extreme irritability, anger and pain. A state often experienced by some women during labor where they may shout at their partner, hate being touched and whom everybody tries to avoid! Someone in this state may also experience labor pains in the back and down the legs and a labor that is slow to progress. Chamomilla covers all these symptoms and should give some relief for the woman and her poor suffering attendants! Some of you may be familiar with this remedy for teething babies where the symptoms are very similar - unbearable pain and anger. There are remedies to cover all sorts of physical and emotional symptoms.

Why Should I Choose You?

Because I am a Mom, a certified trained Doula, a Nurse and  Homeopath… and have been there myself - and have experienced birth almost every way possible, because I understand children and love to work with them, because I am passionate about pregnancy, birth and babies, because pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, babies and children is my area of expertise, because I care!
