#402 Why Does Mystery Stop At The Hospital Door?: A discussion of Homeopathy with Midwife Laurie Fremgen

In this episode of the Birthing Instincts Podcast, we explore the possibilities of homeopathy and homeopathic remedies. The benefits of this type of alternative treatment for pregnancy, labor, and related issues are numerous, with the most significant advantage being the absence of side effects. Mothers can be prescribed homeopathic remedies without the fear of adverse reactions that are often associated with conventional medicine. However, it is essential to work closely with a trained practitioner to initiate treatment effectively.

To delve deeper into this topic, we welcome Laurie Fremgen, a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM) with nearly 30 years of experience. Laurie shares her journey into homeopathy, its effectiveness in modern practice, and insights on how it works—most importantly, why it works. You will also learn about the most common homeopathic remedies used during childbirth and the appropriate dosages for various situations.
