The homeopathic remedy consisting of Arnica and Bellis perennis have been shown in a previous pilot study (n=33) to reduce blood loss during the third stage of delivery, when compared with placebo treatment. The purpose of this study is to repeat the previous methodology, this time on a larger population.
210 parturients will be randomized to one of three groups: Arnica montana C6 and Bellis perennis C6 (n=70), Arnica montana C30 and Bellis perennis C30 (n=70), or double placebo (n=70).
