Homeopathy and contraception

Contraception & Homeopathy

Can Homeopathy prevent conception?

As per the article by Dr J. S. Bhojak written in Homeo Gagan, a homeopathic magazine in India –

According to Dr Hahnemann, chloride of sodium (Natrum Mur) in dynamic potentisation, is the great remedy which has the curative power towards the triple miasms faults.

He( Dr Bhojak ) got the suggestions from “Indian Journal of Homeopathic Medicine Bombay 4” in which Dr Sharda, prominent homeopath of India, says that “I have tried on males and I think this prevents conception”.

According to “Dr BOERICKES materia medica” Natrum Mur when given in very high potencies and in infrequent doses often yield most brilliant results.

Dr Bhojak have also gained 50% success from more than 100 patients according to him, Natrum Mur if prepared from 1000 centisimal potency dilution in saturated pills, then it will be the Hahnemannian contraceptive oral pills for human.

Thus, the ladies and gentlemen who don’t want to conceive, can take these pills to avoid conception. In case of doses, the gentlemen should take 5 pills (30 no. globules) ten minutes before intercourse. Ladies should take 5 pills (30 no. globules) on 4th, 5th and 6th days of their menstrual cycle at bed time for assurance.

Dr. Ashok Pandey’s view regarding Natrum Mur as a contraceptive medicine –

Natrum Mur is the best medicine in Homeopathy for contraception. It doesn’t have any side effects (like leucorrhoea, weight gain, constipation, chest pain, falling of hair, headache, etc) generally occurs while taking allopathic contraceptive pills.

How it works?

Tissues present in our body contains sodium and chloride which maintain acid base balance. When Natrum Mur is given, it increases acid ions in the tissues of reproductive organs which makes the sperms weaker to aid contraception. Homeopathic medicine is given in minute doses, it doesn’t cause any harmful effects and causes only temporary contraception.

Dosage suggested by him

Natrum Mur should be started once in the evening in 3X potency from the 5th day of menstrual cycle for 1 month. Then it should be given in the same way in 6X potency in 2nd month. In the 3rd month it should be given in 12X potency in the same way. In 4th month, 1 dose of 200 potency should be given on 5th day or menses. Then from the 5th month start it again from the 3X potency and repeat the whole cycle in the above mentioned way.

Some doctors suggest cyclamem Q which should be taken daily from the 10th day of menstrual cycle.

Some doctor claims it to be very effective for contraception and some are in opposition for such kind of practice.
