The period of breastfeeding is the most important stage of motherhood. Breast milk has a unique composition that strengthens the baby's immune system and helps him grow healthy.
When the mother's breast milk is insufficient or completely absent, this is a serious problem that can be solved by homeopathy, or more precisely, by the drug Pulsatilla compositum.

Contraindications
In most cases, the drug is well tolerated.
However, it is important to consider the risk of an allergic reaction to one of the components of the composition.
There is no data on how the drug affects people under eighteen years of age, so the manufacturer does not recommend taking Pulsatilla compositum to children.
It is important! Pregnant women can take the drug in a standard dosage, but it is important to report the fact of taking the drug to your gynecologist who is caring for the pregnancy.
Indications
The main indication for the use of the drug is hypogalactia - a condition when the mammary glands do not produce enough secretion to feed the baby. This often happens at the very beginning of the lactation process, or when a woman’s body is exposed to external factors, such as stress, against the background of which the nursing mother loses breast milk.
The drug also effectively fights postpartum depression, improves mood, and gives vitality.
The drug can be used not only by women during lactation. It is suitable for both women and men with the following diseases:
- respiratory infections;
- acute and chronic tonsillitis;
- rheumatism;
- cystitis and urethritis;
- otitis and mumps;
- inflammation in the organs of the female reproductive system;
- bronchitis;
- inflammatory skin diseases.
It is important! If the drug does not have the required effect, and the condition does not improve in the pathologies described above, you should stop taking the drug and consult a homeopathic doctor for advice.
Games without a mind
In cases where a woman is already taking combined contraceptives prescribed by a doctor, the problem is solved quite simply: instead of the usual seven-day break, she must immediately start taking pills from a new pack.
If a woman has not taken contraceptives before, she can consult a doctor who will help you choose the pills that are most suitable and start taking them according to the same regimen. In this case, menstruation does not begin. Then you can return to the previous course or cancel it.
Many people begin to practice critical days postponed for the duration of certain events on a regular basis: in the case of a tourist trip, competitions, going to the pool or spa, romantic dates or job interviews. Moreover, not everyone consults a doctor about this. Some people get by on the advice of a friend or a pharmacist at the nearest pharmacy. It would seem so simple and convenient: take a pill - and no premenstrual syndrome and subsequent bleeding.
Such experiments with the female menstrual cycle are not as safe as they might seem at first glance. By “cancelling” or postponing the onset of menstrual periods at our discretion, we inevitably interfere with one of the most important functions for humans - the reproductive system. She is quite fragile and vulnerable. Such games of playing masters of nature can end very badly.
Do not risk!
The most serious complications of taking hormonal contraceptives, sometimes fatal, are venous and arterial thrombosis and hepatic coma, when the patient does not always have time to be taken to the hospital. In obstetrics and gynecology, these are primarily menstrual irregularities, uterine bleeding, and various neoplasms. Against this background, problems may arise with the onset of pregnancy, including infertility. Negative consequences are also possible from the mammary glands.
Obstetricians and gynecologists know many such stories. They are often approached by young women who, while taking hormonal drugs on their own, have experienced thromboembolism of small branches of the pulmonary artery literally in the first cycle, and this is a deadly condition. Even more often, as a result of taking this type of medication, menstruation stops completely, amenorrhea occurs, which also has to be treated for a long time and not always successfully.
Side effects
The main side effect of Pulsatilla compositum is a natural reaction to the start of homeopathic treatment. Over the course of 4–6 hours, a deterioration in well-being is possible due to the restructuring of the body for the proper functioning of the systems. After this period, the condition normalizes on its own.
Other side effects that are possible when taking the medication may include dizziness and allergic reactions.
The vast majority of people who took the drug as part of a course of increasing breast milk production or getting rid of postpartum depression, the composition was well received.
Important! The drug does not cause side effects in a healthy body. If side effects appear, this is a signal of the presence of hidden pathologies and a reason to consult a doctor.
Pharmacological properties
Thanks to the Pulsatilla component, lactation is enhanced, that is, breast milk production is increased. The combination of Sulfur and Cortisol forces the body to work in the correct mode.

Among other things, the product has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, calms, normalizes sleep, and improves mood.
When using Pulsatilla compositum, it does not interact with other medications taken, so this homeopathic medicine can be included in any therapeutic regimen.
It is noteworthy that the drug does not affect the ability to focus attention, therefore, during the course of treatment, you can drive vehicles if there are no side effects in the form of dizziness.
Correct solution
A woman who seems to have so cleverly deceived her nature is actually deceiving herself. There are no medical indications for canceling menstruation, even during the Olympic Games.
Doctors, who often have to deal with the consequences of uncontrolled use of hormonal drugs, come to the conclusion: it is better to arrange a vacation so that it does not coincide with critical days than to reshape your body for the sake of a vacation.
And if this was not possible, there are alternative ways to mitigate this condition. Today, pharmacies sell special fortified preparations for women that help them survive PMS easier and make bleeding less profuse and painful. It is better to take them in courses, for at least two to three months, and you can also take them in the summer.
In order not to deprive yourself of the opportunity to bathe, there are tampons. Gynecologists do not prohibit swimming in reservoirs if, after going ashore, the tampon is immediately replaced with a new one.
Let's not forget that periods are not forever. They will definitely end, but good memories of the vacation will remain, especially if they have no health consequences.
