She loves her family deeply. She would do anything for them. And yet sometimes she snaps, sharp and impatient in ways that don’t feel like her, and then the guilt comes rushing in.

Here’s what I find so fascinating about this work I do with mothers. We find remedy patterns in homeopathy where there is a real desire for company, but also can treat their loved ones badly.

Kali carbonicum is one remedy that covers this pattern. She can’t bear to be alone. Her whole world is built around her family, their health, their stability, whether they’re showing up for her. So when her husband isn’t supportive enough, or her child is struggling, the anxiety has nowhere to go but out. As irritability. Worrying about what can and can’t be controlled. As nagging that she can’t seem to stop even when she wants to.
She’s not difficult. She’s dependent, and she’s scared, and that fear is coming out sideways. We may see this pattern if she stopped feeling held.

Kali carb has a female hormonal affinity, can be intolerant to cold, needs support and structure and can have lower back issues, anxiety felt in the stomach and coughs that are worse at night.

Homeopathy is individualized and matched to the symptoms of the person, not a one-size-fits-all. For best support in long standing issues of frustration, irritability, depletion and hormonal imbalance, a consultation can be so helpful.

We talk about Sepia a lot in postpartum. And honestly, a lot of the time it’s the right call. It’s such a useful remedy in this phase of life.

But sometimes a woman comes in and she’s not quite Sepia. She’s not indifferent with an edge. She’s not quietly raging underneath.

She’s just…..Plodding. Shut down and avoidant. Going through the motions because someone has to. Passive. Low mood. Used. Pushed to produce. Life kind of sucked out of her.

I first learned about Lac Vaccinum Defloratum through my professor at AHE, Denise Straiges. 💕

Lac Defloratum is Skimmed cow’s milk. 🐄 One of those remedies that doesn’t come up enough in postpartum conversations, and really should.

There can be a lack of interest in those who should be of interest. Aversion to company. The heaviness, exhaustion and feeling of long suffering is real. She can have issues with lactation and milk production. She fears being separated from her family and she follows suit (follows the herd) with what the family is doing, not rocking the boat or expressing personal interest.

If you’ve been feeling like Sepia kind of fits but not quite, or you tried it and only got so far, it might be worth looking a little deeper.

This is exactly the kind of thing a consultation is for. An in-depth look at the pattern keeping you from living your best life.

I haven’t slept properly in almost a decade.

I’ve always been a light sleeper, but since becoming a mother that switch has been firmly set to “on.” I wake for everything.

These days it’s rare to get one child in my bed at night. Even more rare to get two.

On those nights I know I won’t wake refreshed. Someone’s foot will land in my ribs. My pillow will become a shield against little jabs. One of them will toss and turn every five seconds. The other will protest if they’re not the one right next to me.

And somewhere in the middle of the night they end up facing each other, heads close, breathing softly.

My eyes are tired.
My body is heavy.

But I cherish it. I take the picture in the dark.

Because one day the bed will feel spacious again.

And I know, without a doubt, I will miss this.

Did you know there is a homeopathic remedy made from chocolate? 🍫

In homeopathy, the remedy Chocolate appears in the materia medica with a fascinating emotional theme centered around connection, attachment, and love.

Chocolate is sometimes taught as a remedy for children who feel neglected or unloved by their mothers.

Yet in his Clinically Verified Materia Medica, Roger Morrison describes conversations with Jeremy Sherr, who proved the remedy Chocolate, highlighting another side of the remedy picture: mothers who feel strangely detached from their own children, or unable to bond in the way they expected.

In homeopathic remedy pictures, we often see the same idea represented in different expressions of the same disturbance: connection. Two sides of the same coin.

The longing for emotional sweetness and affection…
and the pain when that connection feels absent, fragile, or out of reach.

In the Chocolate remedy picture, a mother may care deeply for her child yet still feel emotionally distant or overwhelmed by the responsibilities of motherhood. This experience can carry a quiet and heavy layer of guilt. (We often compare it to Sepia).

In many of Morrison’s clinically verified homeopathic cases, a theme of disappointed love appeared — disruptions in connection with a mother, partner, or child, or a deep dependence on affection and reassurance.

Different stories, but often the same underlying thread:

A profound need for connection, appreciation, and emotional warmth.

You’re a new mom up all night with your baby…
And now your whole body feels off balance.

REMEDY REVIEW: Cocculus Indicus

Cocculus is a classic remedy for exhaustion for the mom who hasn’t slept properly in weeks and feels it in her spine, her head, her nerves.

• Weakness from broken sleep — even one lost hour hits hard
• Vertigo on rising, like the room is spinning
• Nausea worse from motion (rocking, car rides, even watching movement)
• Occipital headaches extending into the neck
• An empty, hollow feeling in the body
• Too weak to stand long, hold your head up, or speak loudly

This is the postpartum mother who is up all night caring, worrying, watching…
And slowly running on fumes.

Cocculus isn’t just “tired.”
It’s depletion from loss of sleep and emotional strain.

If you feel like your central nervous system is frazzled, or you’re dizzy and nauseous from sheer exhaustion, this is a remedy worth remembering.

Add it to your postpartum toolkit. 🌷

You were always meant to be.
Before you were real, you were a wild, impossible dream I carried quietly.

Despite being told having children would be hard.
Despite it being five days after ovulation.
You were destined.

You were conceived on your grandmother’s birthday.
You were born on the anniversary of the day she was laid to rest.

You never knew her.
Neither did I.
And yet somehow I feel like I do, because she is part of your story, and I know her through you.

She has always felt close.
The signs she leaves for us felt unmistakable. Even the day we were driving to the hospital to meet you.

You came into my life to teach me things I didn’t know I needed to learn.

I don’t regret the struggle.
My gosh, at times it was hard.

I learned.
I grew.
I stretched further than I thought I could through every tear, every surge of panic, every flash of rage layered over the terror that I might lose you.

We made it, even on the tougher days.
You were always meant to be.

You were meant to teach me joy and resilience.
Exhaustion and awe.
The polarity of emotion that makes up the human experience.
A love so deep it often sat right beside fear.

You were meant to be here.

To show me the way, so one day I could walk beside other mothers whose journeys came after ours.

You and your brother, still my greatest teachers.

And I’m still growing.
Still evolving.
Still grateful.

Control in motherhood isn’t always a trait.

For me, control followed a trauma I couldn’t identify until years later. Somewhere along the way, my nervous system formed a belief that if I didn’t do everything right, if I didn’t control my environment and the people around me, I wouldn’t be able to keep my baby safe.

So I started controlling all that I could.
Because inside, I felt anything but in control.

I couldn’t steady the visceral discomfort that surged through my body any time she cried.
I couldn’t calm the anxiety that spiked when she was out of my sight, even when my rational mind knew she was perfectly safe.
I couldn’t regulate the intensity of my own reactions — most of them reactions, not responses — to other people’s actions.

So I managed what I could.

The environment.
The timing.
The way things were done.
The people around me.

Control became a means of regulation.

Homeopathy supported me in finding a calm I didn’t yet have access to.
It wasn’t a quick fix.
It was one baby step at a time.

🍃 Not every bearing-down “heavy uterus” needs Sepia.

Fraxinus Americana (White Ash) 🌳 - a remedy made from a common woodland tree - was coined “The Medical Pessary” by James Compton Burnett.

When the uterus feels physically heavy, enlarged, congested, or with fibroids, Fraxinus americana works to supporting uterine tone and gradual regulation over time.

Ask your homeopath about this supportive remedy. And if you don’t yet have a homeopath, I’m currently accepting new clients from mid February onwards. Link in bio 🩷🌿

Hypericum is a remedy I think of when pain involves the nerves.

Not simple soreness or bruising, but pain that is sharp, shooting, or intensely sensitive to touch. Pain that radiates, lingers.

Classically, Hypericum is indicated for injuries to parts rich in nerves, especially when there has been shock, trauma, or surgical intervention.

In postpartum care, this may be relevant with:
😩 coccyx or sacral pain after birth where the tailbone has received injury, or shifted position during the birthing process
😩 lingering nerve pain after a forceps assisted birth
😩 pain after tearing or lacerations that is extremely sensitive
😩 sequelae following spinal interventions where nerve involvement is suspected
😩 pain that radiates up the spine or down the limbs

Hypericum is often considered when pain worsens with movement, pressure, or even small jolts, and eases when the person can lie quietly or apply gentle rubbing.

There’s a point of tired that rest alone doesn’t touch.

The kind that settles into the nervous system after months of giving, waking, feeding, holding, and pushing through. Avena sativa (oats) has long been used in homeopathy and herbal medicine as a gentle, restorative support for exactly this state - nervous exhaustion, postpartum depletion, and fatigue where the body just hasn’t found its rhythm again yet. This is a nourishing remedy.

Often considered when sleep is unrefreshing despite exhaustion, when emotions feel flat or oversensitive, or when the system feels wrung out rather than broken.

In practice, Avena is most often used in low potency or tincture form to support the nervous system while the body regains tone. I’ve often used oats in Gemmotherapy form (made from first buds and shoots of plants).

If this kind of tired feels familiar, or you’re wondering whether supportive remedies like oats have a place in your journey, you’re welcome to reach out or ask questions. Link in bio.
