  • Anyone who knows me well, would know that I am absolutely passionate about holistic remedies that heal the body from the inside, treating the root cause and not JUST the symptoms.

This is why I was so excited to meet and hear that Ian Wheeler, the founder and Owner of @pegasus_homeopathics has just launched a compact, easy - to - use homeopathic kit especially for expecting moms.

Did you know:

That you cannot overdose on homeopathic remedies? Each dose acts as a message for your body to heal.

That Homeopathic remedies are safe to use WITH allopathic medications. It complements the antibiotics or medicinal drugs you may already be taking

Pegasus Maternity & Labour Homeopathy kit is safe to use in pregnancy, breastfeeding and for newborn babies, contrary to herbal remedies and drugs. The remedies are very diluted.

So let’s go into some detail about this kit:

It contains 8 remedies and an oil to use topically.

The Remedies:

VMT (Vertigo, Morning Sickness & Travel Sickness) –Aid with nausea and morning sickness generally encountered in the first trimester

The Pregnancy Remedy – Aids in induction, dystocia, discoordinated contractions and helps to engage breech babies

The Birthing Remedy – Taken in the last 2 weeks of pregnancy and during labour

The Postnatal Remedy – aid with emotional issues, bruising, bleeding, swelling & inflammation, post caesarian and episiotomy wounds

The Postnatal Blues Remedy – used together with The Birthing Remedy for emotional labour and excellent for Post Partum stress, anxiety and depression

Haematonic – Is a blood tonic which assists a number of organs, the nervous system and general metabolism. Excellent for recuperation.

Lactation – A remedy which aids in milk production and quality for breastfeeding mothers

Mastitis – helps in pain, inflammation & nipple discomfort associated with engorgement

The Renewal Oil – A tissue oil combining Arnica, Calendula, Lavender & Rosemary for topical application to the perineum pre and post birth. Prevents scarring post surgery and useful for stretch marks by promoting skin elasticity.

If you've experienced the overwhelm
.
.
The difficulties of being entrusted  with the human you have
.
.

Struggles that go beyond anything you've experienced before
.
.

Coupled with the sense of just keep going,  you must, you need to be strong, like all other moms, your own brave mom. Don't show weakness, how can you, what's wrong with you, why don't you have it together the way everyone else does? .
.
In a new study, 91% of women reported agreeing that there are societal expectations for moms to hide or disguise any sort of sadness or anxiety that comes along with motherhood.
.
.
.
.
So it's very likely that all your peers, the women you look up to from past generations also felt and feel the overwhelm, but because we're all disguising it, we're actually perpetuating this very overwhelm. .
