Maritza had 38 weeks of pregnancy, the hour of delivery was approaching, but her future baby had taken a trasversal position in the womb; so, the pregnant woman was bound to be subjected to a caesarean operation, but Maritza suffered from high blood pressure, and from anesthesia allergy. For that reason, her obstetrician, from González Coro Hospital, indicates her treatment with the specialist of natural traditional medicine, Lídice Verdecia, in her office in the same hospital.
The doctor began to treat the mother-to-be with personalized flower therapy. Four days afterwards, the result was obtained: the fetus adopted an oblique position, and by the end of the week of the treatment, it was already cephalic. Fortunately, a physiologic (i.e. natural) delivery was produced.
Dr.Verdecia says that from the 34 weeks of pregnancy, with this type of therapy the pregnant woman may be treated in order to avoid Cesarean and have a natural delivery, with less risks, and also with less economic expenses for the institution.
This syndrome is described in Natural Traditional Medicine as Syndrome of bad fetal position, and there is a theory stating as the cause, the fetal position in inversion to the magnetic polarity of the mother. The supporters of this type of medicine recommend especially its use in these cases.Therefore, in the hospital these pregnant women have been treated with three sessions of moxibustion of twenty minutes each one, The result has been the fetal well-being, and delivery without Cesarean.
Such cases similar to that of Maritza are common among patients treated in the office of Natural Traditional Medicine of the gynecobstetric hospital Ramón González Coro in Havana, where since five years, specialist Lídice verdecia with all the love of the world, as one of her patients assured, treats all cases so requiring, among those admitted or not, with gynecological problems, and obstetric risks.
The appointment with the doctor takes place in his office on the Eighth Floor, during the morning, on Tuesday and Thursday for those going out, and other cases coming from other hospitals. The rest of the day is devoted to the in-hospital female patients. The assistance in the center is registered for the eleven most frequent pathologies; but to the emergency ward, the goodness of the natural traditional medicine gets there through Dr. Verdecia’s hands; especially with the floral therapy. The use there goes up, by means of preparations known as Bach’s flower therapy.
One of these combined cures, the Formula of Emergency is the most known against stress, also called Cure of Rescue. This one contains five of the 38 flower therapies, used in the world for more than 50 years. This formula has a positive effect. It is a sort of reliever in cases of acute emergencies; among them, mourning, anxiety, hysteria, physical trauma, or accidents.
What about other results?
In these five years of existence of the before-mentioned consulting of Natural traditional Medicine of Ramón González Coro Gynecobstetric, as we confirmed, has achieved very good results in different pathologies; quoted by Dr. Lidice, it is the treatment of the hysteromyoma. By applying it only with acupuncture, flower therapy and magnetism, the myomas have been reduced and all the symptoms, relieved; so, the surgery could be avoided.
When it deals about infertility
In the case of primary or secondary infertility, the treament with natural traditional medicine, may be guided to estimulate the ovulation with homeopathy or acupuncture, to prepare the uterus for the fertilization with moxibustion, acupuncture and homeopathy, to help to destroy the Fallopian tubes with homeopathy, acupuncture or magnetism.
Some other times the treatment of the emotional state of the couples is recommended with the flower therapy, or to contribute to regulate the endocrine-metabolic disorders, with homeopathy or moxibustion.
Always, before treatment, the medical history is made, either traditional or hemopathic. According to the diagnosis, the technique to be used is decided, Patients with bilateral absence of ovaries, and/or Fallopian tube, and those with absence of uterus, are excluded.
According to what the doctor tells us, “The consulting has obtained very good results, with the case of infertility-“ Together with the department of assisted reproduction, they care for infertile patients, who are being treated here precisely when they are suffering from anxiety or depression, or when they are obese.
Couples- to whom in-vitro fertilization, or artificial insemination was practiced- have come to consulting with their baby in arms. There have come also those who have got pregnant in a natural way, with the support of natural traditional medicine.
Good luck for obese patients

Sometimes, it appears with hypertension. This one is also one of the pathologies which are treated with the therapies of this integrated specialty, and the available techniques.
