Healing Afterbirth- Natural Inexpensive Methods For Healing. 

Know someone that has recently had a baby?

There are many natural substances and techniques for expediting healing after having a baby. Here's a list of what you or a friend might need in the days before and after bringing life into this world. 

Arnica Montana: Arnica speeds healing, decreases pain, decreases bruising and will actually help with the entire labor process. If you can get you hands on a bigger dose, do it. A 10M would be appropriate for childbirth but is only available online or from a qualified naturopath. If you don't have time for this, get a 30C from any health food store and begin taking this IMMEDIATELY when contractions begin. Take it every 3-4 hours throughout labor, until the baby comes. After you can take this each our for pain until symptoms lessen. Arnica can be taken for a week after labor to speed up the healing process. There are MANY homeopathic remedies for labor- see a qualified homeopath, doula or midwife for more on this!
