Intrauterine life; An avenue for homoeopathic prescription

Homoeopathic prescribing is a pleasurable journey provided you know the avenues of prescription to save yourself from the maze of symptomatology. One such avenue is prescription based intrauterine history which I often take to reach my destination i.e cure.

Before my conscious awareness of this avenue I used to roam around the maze of symptoms which often lead to cure in zigzag fashion. I remember helping countless children with ocular pathology with Ignatia a prescription based on history of grief in mother during the period of gestation.

Intrauterine life history should be given it's due importance during a homoeopathic case taking both external and internal environment of mother will affect the development of foetus for example in cases of unwanted or accidental pregnancy child will be suffering from anger issues at one spectrum while at other the child may develop Autism spectrum disorder though the last mentioned claim need more clinical studies to support it.

Medicines taken during time of gestation will definitely affect the child what worries me more is the routine practice of progesterone therapy during gestation we don't know how and at what level it will affect the child, while excessive use of oxytocin during parturition causing neonatal is an established fact.

Hyperemesis gravidarum or no vomiting at all is an indication of Thyroidinum and may be seen in cases of unwanted pregnancy. Fright during gestation will have it's impact on new born as well as later in life Aconite in higher potency may deal with the case. Stressful period of intrauterine life or mortification and anger will cause many symptomatology in children often some unconscious ticks or behavioural can be traced to these intrauterine histories.A constant state of fear in intrauterine life will get it remedy in Opium while a constant state of stress and anxiety may need adrenaline.

Intrauterine life history is just one of the avenues available at our disposal to reach the destination of cure knowing each of them and the wisdom to choose will make our journey of homoeopathic prescribing more pleasurable, rewarding and complacent.
