Summary
Lac loxodonta Africana is a homeopathic medicine concerned with issues regarding Matriarchy and with women needing the support and guidance from other women during mothering. It is also, due to the subthemes of Murder/Brutality/Violence and Suffering/Homeless, a medicine for trauma around conception and/or gestation. Lac delphinum is also a medicine with emphasis on the need for group support. The rubric: Tranquillity is to be found in both medicines. However Lac delphinum is a medicine that offers a sense of tranquillity during a time of chaos and has rubrics associated with mothering being an imposition. It is, therefore, a medicine which can provide a sense of tranquillity and support during Birth.
Key words
