Big fan of them both here! I used Arnica after my c section with James, I put 15 drops in a bit of water. I was very surprised at how quickly I healed and was up and walking! ]]> Fri, 15 Jun 2007 14:59:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=161337&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#161337 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=159369&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#159369 Author: Two Blondinis

I took heaps of both during and after my labour. The Rescue Remedy really helped with the shock of having an emerg CS and coping with being a new mum and the Arnica helped with my recovery.

I'm not sure about the Arnica but you can put a couple of drops in water. And yes, they both taste like watered down brandy They use brandy as a preservative.]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 15:02:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=159369&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#159369 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=158279&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#158279 Author: Maya

I gave Maya some Rescue Remedy tonight after she bumped her head and she told me it tasted "spicy".]]> Sun, 10 Jun 2007 20:23:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=158279&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#158279 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=158209&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#158209 Author: Lissy

NZPIPER - I have some rescue remedy that I used, only a few drops, which you can have as i probably wont use it, saves it going to waste.  If you want PM your work addy and I can drop off???]]> Sun, 10 Jun 2007 18:36:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=158209&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#158209 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=158202&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#158202 Author: Mummy2three

I used Rescue Remedy for my daughters birth a couple of weeks ago. I took it when I realised I was in labour and I do think it helped make me feel calm. It does taste a little bitter but the taste goes away quickly

I took some tablets called 5W by Natures Sunshine, they're specially for the last 5 weeks of pregnancy. My uncle who is the president of the NZ Charter of Health Practitioners gave them to me. Not sure if they helped or not but I had an awesome delivery!]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2007 23:32:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157954&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157954 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157913&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157913 Author: mummy_becks

I found I didn't need anything after birth, apart from the odd panadol. But during labour I loved my cold water (it was Feb) and the bath.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2007 22:32:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157913&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157913 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157886&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157886 Author: Konagirl

I have heard good things about both. I am just worried about the taste as I am not good with things that taste funny. Guess they arent too expensive to try out and see.
Yes Glow, it was the natrapharm products I was thinking of too.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2007 21:31:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157878&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157878 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157871&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157871 Author: Brenna

I used the natropharm pre-birth srpay about 2-3 weeks before my due date and I had rescue remedy in my bag for the labour, but it was so quick I didn't have time for anything. I did find the rescue remedy really good for after Brenna was born. I don't mind the taste. I've also heard arnica is great for after the birth

I also found my wheat bag great for during contractions and being in the water ]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2007 21:15:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157871&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157871 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8139&PID=157869&title=natural-remedies-for-child-birth-etc#157869 Author: Glow

the book I have been reading recommends using things like Arnica for healing after childbirth. And Rescue Remedy during labour. It mentions lots of other things too.

Has anyone used them? DO they work? Do they taste ok? Any other suggestions?
