Is Thuja Occidentalis Safe While Breast Feeding?

I'm not familiar with that product I just wanted to remind you that Homeopathic and Herbal Supplements aren't tested or regulated. Companies can make any claims about them that they want and there is little to nothing you can do to find out if they are validated. Go to a doctor and don't take anything if you don't know what's in it or if it's safe.

Hi L.,
Everything I have read about thuja occidentalis says it isn't to be taken if pregnant or breastfeeding. Have you had a doctor treat your warts? There are several different treatments they can do that you can't get over the counter. Also know that warts on the skin may be passed between people through contact and possibly from things like towels.
Sincerely,
L.

Hi L.-
One of the great things about homeopathy (aside from it being affordable & extremely effective) is that it is totally safe in pregnancy as well as breast-feeding. In fact, homeopathy is even safe to use in newborns. I just prescribed a remedy yesterday for a 4 week old with colic.

Hi L., the best thing I've ever used for warts sounds crazy but it really works. Pick a dandylion flower and squeeze the "milk" out of it and put it on the wart. Just do it a couple times a day when you think about it. I've used it on myself and my kids with good results. Another thing that works is dipping the wart in diluted bleach. Good luck, K.

My daughter had very painful plantar warts on the bottom of her foot and we tried all of the above over two years. We were finally referred to a Dermatologist and after three months of bi-weekly treatments, they were gone.

Theoretically the amount in a homeopathic remedy would be negligible, so probably safe, but just the same I don't know if I'd be comfortable about it personally. You can use the oil topically but even that would make me nervous. I can understand not wanting to infect your baby with the wart virus, but chances are pretty good he's already exposed. I had up to ten warts at one time when I was a kid and I tried a lot of treatments: freezing them, burning them, OTC products. One day I made an apointment to see a dermatologist who was going to inject them directly with something that is known to be very effective. The day after the appt. was made I woke up and they were already half way gone. I never had to even go see the Dr. because by the day of the appt. they had disappeared. The weird thing about warts is that they are actually strangely connected to our psychology. They respond to threats! It's about your immune response. In that respect they are much like cold sores (and in fact I believe it's caused by a similar virus.)

Hi L.,

Yes, Thuja 30C is safe while breastfeeding. Thuja is one of the most common remedies used for warts. However, homeopathic remedy should match all of your symptoms in order to work. If Thuja does not work for you, you may benefit from a prescription from a professional homeopath who will find a remedy that matches all of your symptoms. In my practice I have seen warts go away after a correct homeopathic remedy.

I think the best thing for you to do is consult with your pediatrician and/or pharmacist.
