Sepia
This fantastic female remedy suits morning sickness that is temporarily better for eating, despite the fact that there's nausea just from the smell of food. Sometimes even the smell of their partner can make the Sepia woman feel sick! The Sepia woman is often resentful of and irritated by her partner who she may well expect to read her mind as she doesn’t want to ask for help! She feels better for being alone or exercising. It may suit a woman who is already a mother and who is already tired from parenting.
Sepia is an indispensable remedy in my homeopathic practice. It is of great therapeutic benefit for a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms from migraines to post-natal depression. There is often a hormonal connection and it is often prescribed at puberty, around pregnancy and at menopause. However, it is indicated at any time of life when a person - most frequently a woman for this remedy - is stretched in multiple directions and the result is exhaustion, depression and irritation.
