The homeopathic Caulophyllum is a beautiful remedy for women in their childbearing years... for certain conditions during pregnancy, labour, or after birth. In late pregnancy, it is useful for annoying contractions. In long-drawn-out labour, it is needed for extremely painful, ineffective contractions that do not ‘work.’
Caulophyllum [or, blue cohosh] has long been used by Native Americans as a birthing herb. Hence, the two of its common names: squaw or papoose root. Caulophyllum’s special gift is in working with women whose tissues have lost their tone, especially the tissues of the uterus. Its reputation for establishing effective contractions in labour is deserved. It works like a dream... when it is called for.
Some homeopathic books advise pregnant women to take Caulophyllum [in potency] during the last weeks, or even months before delivery to prepare them for an easy labour. Taken in pregnancy, Caulophyllum can pave the way for a trouble-free childbirth if it is indicated, but if it is taken routinely and unnecessarily it can also cause some difficulties in labour. If taken repeatedly when not indicated, proving symptoms may develop.
Caulophyllum can be taken to prepare women for easier births, but is primarily indicated for sedentary women with poor muscle tone, or for women who have a history of gynaecological problems, or difficult births. Women who are fit, who have healthy muscle tone, should avoid them... or, take them only on the instruction of an experienced herbalist, or homeopath.

Homeopathic Practice & The Power Of Objective Assessment
The best thing for homeopathic students and also doctors to do is to go back to the essence, or ‘source,’ of Dr Samuel Hahnemann’s tenets, and use the power of objective observation to revolutionise their homeopathic skills and practice of medicine, in the best manner possible — simply, sensibly, and without rigmarole.
Multiple Sclerosis & Homeopathy
Homeopathy does not treat just multiple sclerosis symptoms per se, but rather the person having such symptoms with all their nuanced temperamental aspects, likes and dislikes, aside from complex personal and family history.
