The liver congestion makes me wonder. . . . I was itchy during pregnancy, and have reduced liver function- subclinical to an allopath, the accupuncturist picked right up on it when I was there for oversupply issues. That being said, since the liver issue is there, I would think to go first with dandelion root (infusion internally and topically, and tincture when the infusion's inconvenient) and milk thistle seed (ditto instructions). Both are used for pupps. The dandelion is safe in pg, I can't remember if premature labor is a contraintdication for either herb. The first line 30c homeopathics would be beladonna and sepia. . . .if they don't work then sulfur until you can figure out other stuff. Other homeopathics mentioned for the condition are dolichos druriens, and antimonium (crud not tart but look it up) and Urtica Urens, which is stinging nettle. www.abchomeopathy.com if she will do the 30 minute software would really help there. Does the mom drink nettle infusions? My pg infusion was nettles, red rasberry, dock, oatstraw, alfalfa, dandelion root, and other stuff I'm forgetting. . . . Oh, general immune support helps, also lots of folks think Vitamin A is the culprit so double the CLO. Congrats on the midwifery work!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Okay, I forgot Apis Melifica 30C, which is ine of the primary remedies for the condition. . . and, most important, the midwife archives! http://www.gentlebirth.org/archives/miscdisc.html#Itchy D.
