american dispensatory of the king of : "Severe dysmenorrhoea with colicky pains, and uterine colic are promptly relieved by large doses of it. Rigid os uteri, with thin, unyielding edges, and a dryness of the parts, is relaxed by gelsemium. In fact, it relaxes all sphincters. By rectifying such complications it facilitates labor. Free doses should be administered. Gelsemium, alone or combined with pulsatilla, is invaluable to overcome the marked restlessness evinced by some parturients, and gelsemium will often retard a labor that has begun before the parts are ready for the ordeal, particularly when the woman is excessively excitable and nervous, and the pains are spurious, or at least jerky and ineffectual. The nervous tension following accouchement is quickly relieved by this drug. After-pains are controlled by it, and it is serviceable in some forms of leucorrhoea." I also really like motherwort to help a mom relax and let the cervix open. herbs for third and of the fourth stock Regarding the use of Cohosh, does anyone else use the homeopathic remedy named caulophyllum? Anyway, back to the subject, with any cohosh the side effect can be an increase in B/P, so I check this frequently (even when we are out on our walk). I have had only one client whose B/P went up, and it was only 10 systolic with no other s/sx. So, to repeat my original question, does anyone else use caulophyllum? And to add to my original question, if so, what do you think of it, and what dosage, time frame do you use? I wrote a little about this in an earlier post about the cohoshes. I mentioned that I use the homeopathic forms of the cohoshes. I use them in labor situations in a 200c potency. I use 200c or 1M potencies in labor because that is what it usually takes in a labor. I use 30cs in pregnancy. (except for Pulsatilla to turn breeches) There is a new book out for midwives about homeopathy - it is written by the homeopath I have been studying under for the last 6 years. The book is called "Homeopathy for the Modern Pregnant Woman and Her Infant" - A Therapeutic Practice Guidebook for Midwives, Physicians and Practitioners. If you are interested in the book, you can e-mail me privately and I'll give you more details, but I don't want to "advertise" on the list. (although I have no connection with the book other than I reviewed her working copy) Also, as someone reported from several sources - Blue Cohosh is known to actually lower B/P and raise FHTs (at least in my experience). I have even used it to help control a labor B/P that was getting up there. I know people who are not pregnant (even men) who use Blue Cohosh to control high B/P. I have all of my clients use PN-6 (Rasp combo, mother's cordial, any of the like) and EPO from 34 weeks. There is also something called Matrim that is the homeopathic version of PN-6. This seems to really help ripen the cervix. I've felt primip cervices feel like that of a multip after taking this. We actually looked back at the stats when we first started using it when I was an apprentice and the women that had taken it had faster labors and less incidence of going past 41 weeks. I have recently started having them take alfalfa or chlorophyll from 34 weeks to boost the Vit. K level for the baby and to the mom for less bleeding. I use caulophyllum (blue), or cimicifuga (black) 200c to kick start a pokey labor. Not usually to start labor. Another homeopathic I use is Pulsatilla to turn a breech or a lesser strength for a malpositioned head. I do almost the exact same thing - I encourage 5-W (Nature Sunshine product for last 5 weeks) which in my experience helps prevent women from going too far overdue and helps shorten labors - (this statement always gets me compliance!) I encourage the use of Alfalfa (about 35 grains/day) for the final 6 weeks (unless bad varicose veins). I use the homeopathics as stated above. I feel prevention is the key in my practice. 5W (5 herbs for women for final five weeks of pregnancy) is made by a US company called Natures Sunshine and it is a combination mix prenatalen herbs for mrs. . It is very popular here in NZ with many midwives and many supply it to their patrients having seen the benefits. They describe it as a "uterine toner" You should be able to buy at it Health Stores but I see it is also available online at several places. Here's the blurb from one of them ... 5-W (5 herbs for mrs. ) System: Glandular/Female 5-W supplies nutrients supportive to the female glandular and reproductive systems. The formula contains iron for the blood and for vitality, manganese to support body tissues, and selenium to assist in healthy tissue growth. This combination includes: Black cohosh root, Squaw vine herb, Dong quai root, Butcher's broom root, Red raspberry leaves. During the last five weeks of pregnancy, take two capsules three times daily. For me it was the easy way to get the Red Raspberry leaf without having to drink the tea plus get all those the different one useful herbs !! The only situation where its use is not recommended is if you have high blood pressure or a history of pre-term labour.

Celery was used by the Abyssinians for stuffing pillows. Ancient Greeks and Romans crowned their heroes with dill and laurel. Dill also was used by the Romans to purify the air in their banquet halls. , which herbs magic characteristics were given to something, probably easily because of their medicinal uses. The early Chinese considered artemisia to have special charms. In France during the Middle Ages, babies were rubbed with artemisia juices to protect them from the cold. Ancient Greeks used sweet marjoram as a valuable tonic, and parsley as a cure for stomach ailments. Rosemary was eaten in the Middle Ages for its tranquilizing effects and as a cure-all for headaches.

i believe firmly from mine studies of herbalism over the last 15 years or so, and my personal experience, that echinacea is very safe to take while pregnant and while nursing. In fact, if my babies seemed to be coming down with anything, I would take it about 10-15 minutes before nursing so that they would get the benefit. I have seen antibiotics prescribed for pregnant women and infants and I know that echinacea is much safer, effective and I have never experienced or seen any negative side effects. I prefer the tincture form. If one is worried about the alcohol base you can buy glycerin based tinctures or just put the tincture dose in a bit of hot water and allow the alcohol to dissipate for about 10 minutes. The dosage I follow for infants and children is to give up to half their body weight in drops. So a for a 16 lb kiddo you can give up to 8 drops, 2x a day. a 20 lb kid - 10 drops, etc. This is what I do, and we haven't needed any antibiotics in many years!!! Echinacea Use in Early Pregnancy Appears Safe [Medscape registration is free.] Study Shows Echinacea Safe During Pregnancy [November 29, 2000] Pregnancy outcome following gestational exposure to echinacea: a prospective controlled study. Gallo M, Sarkar M, Au W, Pietrzak K, Comas B, Smith M, Jaeger TV, Einarson A, Koren G. Arch Intern Med. 2000 Nov 13; :3141-3. CONCLUSIONS: This first prospective study suggests that gestational use of echinacea during organogenesis is not associated with an increased risk for major malformations. I also use and recommend herbs first and regard her to a high degree as the effective medicinals of choice. I use equal parts lobelia and false unicorn for threatened miscarriage. Works great! Also , request garden herbs sales a little really new tinkturen . I use Smooth Transitions for moms who get "up tight". It calms without that "druggy" feeling. After ease has been a God send for mom suffering from afterbirth pains and, later, menstrual cramps. Me too. and , which i test herbs and main processing, before i saw go to a doc, unless it's is clearly a medical situation. For example: I'll try tinctures for my sons asthma and sometimes can see results, but if he doesn't start breathing easy really quick he is going to use Preventil! I do what works... Most of the usual run of the mill sore throats, colds, fevers, sprained ankles etc. or childhood are easily treated with healthy human understanding, herbs , main supplementary aids and time . I would like to see the research about wild yam. Most of the books in herbs i case under the definition of testimonials and cookbooks. For instance, Susan Weeds books are quite fun; make many statements about efficiency of herbs and of dosages, in order to apply; but give no solid information about effectiveness! It is not research. Informative, and interesting, yes. Full of research? No. I'm looking for an herb book with facts, not just opinions. Opinions may be absolutely correct, but I need some sort of proof before I feel I can tell someone that a particular herb should be used as medicine. Until I see any data, I feel I can only "pass on the information “over herbs as colony excessive quantity and as folk medicine etc. I would never "prescribe" or „recommends “either herbs , vitamins or medicine -- but I do pass on to my clients the information available to me. We discuss good diets and whether they might consider supplementing with vitamins or herbs ... I remind them there is little research ever , on herbs , but were affected, request garden them and seem to feel that they help. Michael Murray's books and Donald Brown's book are full of research references. Good books, though heavy on standardized dosages. I apologize if this is redundant but I must mention Smooth Transitions and Afterease tinctures, both from herbs use of many people in fatter, kolorado . I give Smooth Transitions for moms who are "up tight" or transitiony. They respond immediately and calm right down. Afterease is phenomenal in reducing the pain associated with afterbirth pains. Smooth Transitions can also be used for children who are a bit "wired", like after a birthday party where a lot of sugar has been consumed. Afterease is especially good to take for menstrual cramps. I have also taken it and had incredible benefits with allergies, i.e., sneezing/running nose/watery eyes. Re herb syllabus from ACNM--anybody can order it. The address for the ACNM Publications is: ACNM Publications 818 Connecticut Ave, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 Does use herbs of the seeming error at trust in Birth? I have mixed feelings about routine prenatal herbal and homeopathic recommendation, but most women I know approach birth can get, both physically and psychologically. It's probably better not to recommend these if you believe it would weaken the woman's trust in her own body. (It seems that using these usually helps women to feel better that they're "doing the right things", which tend to strengthen her trust that everything will go all right, but use your better judgment.) It truly amazes me that anyone wanting a natural, informed pregnancy and birth, that wants to keep some control over their body and trusts in the process, would put faith into a company that sells secret "formulas" to pregnant women. What is the difference between that and trusting a doctor to give you secret medicine the hospital? I guess it depends whether it really does weaken the trust? Maybe for some people but for me it gave me more confidence knowing that I had myself fully prepared and had tried everything I could and was doing the right things. I guess my question is - if we are going to expect women to totally trust in their bodies does that mean we tell them to stop ante-natal exercises stretches (trust your body to be ready) or forget the birth pool (trust your body to handle the pain) ?? I agree its totally a YMMV issue - but while I don't think women should be convinced they MUST take these things neither do I think they should be discouraged if they feel maybe it might help them. It's laughable that a midwife should think all her clients need this stuff...it's absolutely no different than doctors thinking all healthy women need ultrasounds, inductions and fetal monitoring "just in case." My midwife, who is very hands off and *very* non-interventionist and has an excellent reputation as a homebirthing direct entry midwife is recommending I take these herbs and do the lubricating oil capsule during the last 5 weeks of pregnancy. She does not expect these things to 'make' me go into labor or as a natural way of induction (I am adamantly opposed to any method of induction as long as my baby and I are fine, not even castor oil); rather as a supplement to assist my body in its natural preparation for birth. In many cultures women follow a special diet in the time during pregnancy and approaching birth. I suppose that the prenatal vitamins and herbal supplements could be viewed that way in our culture.

motherwort is also to a high degree - effective as a uterine stimulant to encourage labor. So I would think that Motherwort is not to be used unless you are trying to go into labor and that's why it was saying 'avoid during pregnancy' Susun Weed actually recommends it during pregnancy for stress, during early labor for pain, and after labor for afterpain relief. I've known a few women who's midwives have recommended it as an alternative to anxiety drugs they were on before pregnancy. One caution though. Susun Weed does say that one should be careful with it. If one finds oneself taking it regularly and for several weeks one might find that one can't get along without it. Let me tell you though, it's heavenly! You're right. It is amazing. Yesterday I went and bought that entire herbs i thought the fact that i could perhaps need during and after labor and broke out the Motherwort as soon as I got home. 5 drops of the stuff in a small amount of water changed me from the irritable, no-fun kind of Mommy I've been for the last couple of weeks into a calm, go-ahead-dear-make-a-mess kind of Mommy. I love it! I find motherwort very helpful for generalized anxiety as well as attacks, in addition to afterpains. I have made tinctures many ways and definitely think that is the way to go with cotton root bark it needs a heavy solvent it is sturdy stuff, also there just isn't the abundance of materials around to be putting it up every 2 weeks and adding more, I find that if I let mine sit for the whole 6 weeks it does the trick. Sometimes I just let it sit and don't strain it out for a very long time. Although using everclear was how I was taught and how I make it I just checked Michael Moore and he recommends a 1:5 fresh root bark tincture with 50 % alcohol (100 proof) I will try 1 batch this winter made this way as well as making it the old way. Now for other tinctures especially something that seems to be soluble in water as well as alcohol then I prefer to use rum. When in doubt I hit the books or the web to see. Ladies Mantel (alchemilla vulgaris) I would use as a tea and although it can be used to in cases of heavy menses it is mild enough to be used prenatally as a toner if a woman was inclined and if was fitting to her disposition. A stronger astringent that isn't so safe prenatally but can help arrest bleeding is Yarrow ( Achillea millefolium) and yarrow is fine as a rum tincture, I have also use a glycerin of it, but I think that a glycerin just doesn't keep as long . How Reliable Is Midwifery Herbal Lore? I'm trying to get a better sense of the reliability of information about using herbs , which is common in midwifery community. Most people I know rely on Susun Weed's Herbal for the Childbearing Year . Has anyone ever asked a knowledgeable herbalist to review this information for them? These are good questions...I know I have used Susun's book as an authority, and with some success, but we do need to question. I did an herbal workshop many years ago, and he said it is very difficult to combine more as herbs two and successful tinktur , because there are three types from herbs preserves, and always does not combine it . I know she has tincture recipes in the back with five or more herbs , have i her never , has anyone? I pretty much use one herb at a time, that has worked over the years, or one homeopathic remedy at a time. I have used Susan Weeds book and many others that say similar things and have had good luck in using the recommended processings with herbs . I have never found it a problem. You will have to just find your own way. To self help yourself is an adventure and nothing in that book would hurt you used as written. I for one have not been able to successfully get a mom with a missed abortion to do much of anything following the herbal regime outlined in this book. I like the book's simplicity, however I have consulted with an herbalist who said she had never heard of a woman successfully inducing abortion with these herbs , if she causes certain over this age of 25. Similar to Weed's information is found in many herbals so she's not the only one saying herbs for abortion /miscarriage. Who would qualify as a "knowledgeable herbalist" if not Susun Weed herself? I don't exactly understand who you would ask to corroborate her work. If you don't trust her work as definitive, then whose do you trust? Isn't it all relative and a matter of experience? Perhaps I should have said "another knowledgeable herbalist". I have never done any independent study herbs is, in the sense of growing tested, or harvesting them and making the preparations myself. Pretty much everything I knows in herbs gets along from susun weed, and I suspect most of the other information I read over herbs in the birth help community is derived from her work. I personally feel comfortable basing self-treatment on her work, because I have a sense that it is trustworthy. I have used her information as the basis for providing information to clients as well, but I would like to get some corroboration so that I can be "more certain" I'm not causing them any harm, and that herbs a little the good could . I don't know if there are any RCT's about most herbs really do, but i that at least like to hear that another knowledgeable herbalist has reviewed her work and agrees with her teaching. Or, in the absence of a positive confirmation, I wanted to ask if anyone had any negative experiences with her book. So far, nobody has spoken up about it. This adds a measure of confidence, but by default. As a nurse-midwife and nurse practitioner, I am frequently asked questions about herbal remedies by my patients and by my CNM and MD colleagues. There are no standardized dosages and this makes prescribing herbals tricky so I usually advise the patient to start with the lowest recommended dosage and then slowly increase to achieve the desired effect . Herbals are not for everyone but many of our patients use them so I believe as practitioners, we need to have some working knowledge of them if the patient wants „ herbs a test would give “ . St. John's Wort (hypericum perforatum )is noted to have a tranquilizing effect on the nervous system as well as a mild vasodilatory and diuretic action. I was unable to locate a single source which advises against use in pregnancy and at least one that recommends it. This herb does however cause sensitivity to sunlight so users should be cautioned to wear sun protection. Resources: Weed, Susan.
