Sepia - A Fundamental Women's Remedy
The Sepia Woman…
Most women can relate to being a Sepia woman, or having a loved one in a Sepia place, at some point in life - it’s a key hormone balancing women’s remedy, and my number one postpartum homeopathic medicine for all things postpartum, including postpartum prolapse, exhaustion, depression and hair loss.
Sepia is a key uterine remedy, indicated for hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, PCOS, PMT, perimenopause, menopause and infertility.
Stagnation is a key theme, mentally and physically.
Slow digestion: sluggish digestion, constipation, fissures and/or hemorrhoids.
Skin stagnation: ringworm, eczema and herpes.
Mental depletion: The Sepia woman can feel depleted, indifferent towards loved ones, “touched out”, detached and/or highly irritable. She can become snappy at her children or partner. Because she feels overwhelmed and stagnant, she often feels better for vigorous exercise.
Sepia is included in my homeopathic first aid kit and fertility kit, as a key hormone supportive remedy.
Sepia is also used as a classical, constitutional prescription for women I work with 1:1, often they have chronic health issues or ongoing hormonal/skin/digestive stagnation.
I occasionally use Sepia for some children for skin issues and recurring bed wetting.
