The Princess of Wales is presently recuperating from abdominal surgery, taking a four-month hiatus from her duties and opting for a restful period at her residence in Windsor. According to reports, she is spending quality time with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Princess Kate has been resting for several months, which doctors say is essential for her recovery. “Resting after surgery is crucial for a safe recovery,” confirms GP and aesthetic doctor Dr. Chandni Rajani.
“Rest is needed for a full recovery,” he says. “During rest, the body directs energy to healing processes, with sleep being particularly crucial for tissue repair and hormone production.
While the royal adheres to medical advice, there are alternative wellness approaches, including one favored by Meghan Markle, reportedly supported by King Charles as well. Prince Harry’s spouse advocates for homeopathic remedies, as detailed in the Duke of Sussex’s memoir, “Spare.”
In the book, Harry recounts Meghan offering Prince William some of her homeopathic remedies, such as oregano oil and turmeric, when he was ill with a cold. Harry describes his brother’s reaction as charmed and moved, although Kate remarked to the group that he would never embrace such unconventional treatments. In contrast to his eldest son, King Charles shares Meghan’s belief in the benefits of homeopathic remedies and serves as the Royal Patron of the Faculty of Homeopathy.
King Charles is known to be a firm supporter of homeopathy, and in the book Charles: The Alternative Prince, author Edward Ernst wrote that the King: “Takes a great interest in [alternative medicine].”
His mother, our late Queen, showed her appreciation for alternative medicine too, appointing a personal homeopathic physician, while the Queen Mother reportedly loved homeopathy as well.
“Homeopathy is a complementary or alternative medicine,” the NHS writes. “This means that homeopathy is different from treatments that are part of conventional Western medicine in important ways.”
Could Homeopathy Help Princess Kate?
“Homeopathy works by stimulating the body’s healing response making it a great option when recovering from surgery,” she says. “This stimulation of what is known in homeopathy as the ‘vital force’ can aid with physical recovery such as bruising or wound healing as well as any emotional symptoms that may arise.”
Lauren adds: “Homeopathy isn’t one-size-fits-all and remedy selection is always based on the individual but there are some commonly used remedies such as arnica which can help improve bruising, swelling and even shock, to aid in the recovery from surgery.
“Other remedies such as hypericum and ledum are useful for wound healing where the skin has been cut or punctured and the herb calendula, known for its soothing and antiseptic properties, can be used topically on the skin or taken in homeopathic form to help prevent infection.”
