What is Pulsatilla and Caulophyllum? Is it okay to take when pregnant to induce !


Question:

What is Pulsatilla and Caulophyllum? Is it okay to take when pregnant to induce labor? Where can I find it?

I know its a bunch of questions, but I read that you can take Pulsatilla 1m and Caulophyllum 200c to induce labor. I'm 39 weeks, 2 cm dilated, 65% effaced, and the baby is at 0 station (or engaged). I'm so miserable and looking for home remedies to induce. This is the only time I've heard about these meds or whatever they are, so if they are safe, where would I find them? All answers are welcome. Thank you!!

Hi girl2woman,
Pulsatilla is a homeopathic remedy said to be most suitable for shy, hypersensitive people who tend to feel warm rather than cold. You not needed these product.

But, Caulophyllum is a small genus of perennial herbs in the family Berberidaceae. Common names for plants in this genus include Blue Cohosh, Squaw Root, and Papoose Root. As hinted at by its common names, this plant is well known as an alternative medicine for inducing childbirth. Yes, these are said to stimulate the start of contractions.

Here are safe ways to induce labor and finally have your baby:
1. Walking. Walking stimulates the muscles in your uterus and may stimulate contractions.
2. Tea with Thyme. That tea with thyme has induced labor for many women.
3. Basil and Oregano. That herbs can stimulate labor contractions.
4. Raspberry Leaf Tea. It stimulates contractions.
5. Nipple Stimulation. This odd method causes oxytocin, which in turn makes your uterus contract.
6. Relaxation exercises. Relaxation exercises have been known to relax the woman into a state for labor to start. You can find a variety of relaxation exercises online.

It should be noted (again) that none of these ways should be used unless the pregnant woman is near her due date. More than likely they will not work anyway unless the baby is ready to be born. You can give nature a little nudge but not likely a giant push, which you would not want to do anyways.
