Pulsatilla is a plant. It is also known by pasqueflower, wind flower or
meadow anemone. It is grown in Europe.
I suppose it could be used as a medicinal plant, but it is far more
commonly used in homeopathy. Common uses:
colds, sinus problems with yellowish or greenish discharge,
conjunctivitis, nausea and vomiting. It can also treat menstrual
complaints and depression. In the literature I have, I see one use
during childbirth - labor that is progressing slowly or mother is having
a hard time coping emotionally. After childbirth it can be used to ease
after
pains. Most of the literature doesn't show a link to breastfeeding at
all. Only one of my books - Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth and the
First Year (Miranda Castro)
says it can be used for too much milk. I certainly wouldn't advise it
for increasing milk.
