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.

Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control.
