Just for information you can read htypracticals.blogspot.com. and learn to prepare the remedies for use. Also please refer htysolution.blogspot.com and htyremedies.blogspot.com to get an over all knowledge, before dealing with Homeopathic remedies.
We do not need to read the entire Homeopathic book for treating the injuries. The injury remedies do not interfere much with the constitution of the patient except for few, which I will write remedy wise. Homeopathic injury remedies are all common for every human. Therefore the injury remedies can be used in any human in any age group, depending up on the requirement. In case we buy remedies in liquids, we can make it it in pills at home. Refer htypracticals.blogspot.com. We can buy the remedies ready in pills directly from the medical store, also. Homoeopathic remedies can give quick , effective and marvellous treatment/cure for injuries in a very simple way. Injury remedies provide quick cure in harmless way. When I say harmless way, means it is in the sense that less harmful than constitutional remedies. It would be worth to recollect that any thing that is beneficial, ought to be harmful. Therefore the use should be limited to our need. Kindly read my books in accordance with the Homoeopathic Materia Medica and Repertory of Dr. William Boericke M.D. for further reference. The main injury remedies and their potency are as follows:
- Arnica montana Q, 30, 200
- Bellis Perennis 30
- Hypericum Perforatum 30
- Ledum Palustre 6,30
- Ruta Graveolens 6, 30
- Symphytum Officinale 6,12,30
- Calendula Officinalis Q, 6, 30
I use Arnica and hypericum for all kind of injuries. I use third remedy Bellis perennis if there is blood clot and injury to deeper tissues. The fourth remedy Ledum pal is also used for most of the time. The choice has to be made between Ruta and symphytum. If it is injury to bone with direct impact, then Ruta must be used. If the injury involves a joint, then Symphytum must be given. If bone and joints both are injured then Ruta and symphytum both should be given. All the six injury remedies can be used simultaneously or after one another. All the injury remedies have base preparation from roots and plants.These are not very long and deep acting remedies. But the use should be limited to the need. Let us see the injury remedies in details—
ARNICA MONT.
Arnica is world’s best injury remedy and healing agent. This is the first remedy to call for in any kind of Injury. The chief action is centred on the muscular part of the body. Arnica can be used in Bruises,Contusions etc. Dr Allen M.D. writes in his keynotes that Arnica can be used even if the injury is years old. Well, it could be correct and no harm in using few pills and see if any improvement. But it would be worth to note that if an injury is not well treated then it takes the form of rheumatism or can cause Rheumatism. Once the injury has caused rheumatism, then the rheumatism can be cured only by the constitutional remedy. The Injury remedies can no longer be effective or offer cure for rheumatism. It is because the rheumatism(resulting from the injury) gets attached and mixed up with the infection hidden in the body. It becomes a disease and part of the sufferings. Now, it can be removed from the body only by the constitutional remedy for the patient. We got to follow the single remedy system of Homeopathy in order to remove the hidden infection.
It is worth to note that Arnica is an antidote to China(Cinchona officials), Cicuta Virosa, Ferrum met.(to some extent), Ignatia Amara, Senega, etc. If any one of the above is the indicated remedy for the case in hand (For example-China), It is most likely that Arnica will interfere with the constitution of the patient. First few pill will be consumed by the injury. The repeated use will cause the previous illness to aggravate. For example— if the patient had constipation and headache before the injury, he may complain increase in these symptoms after taking Arnica. So while using a remedy, the over all condition of the patient must be under watch. Consideration of over all health of the patient, is a good practice while giving Homeopathic remedy. It has even deeper and further sense of working. Arnica is an antidote to these remedies. These are directly related to Arnica. These remedies will have direct relation to few other remedies, so Arnica will form indirect relation with those remedies as well.
As I have mentioned that the Homeopathic remedy effects the weakest point first and weakest organ most. Refer htysolution.blogspot.com. It is likely that the first few pills will be consumed by the injury but further pills may cause the older illness to increase. That is the time the use should be discontinued. Arnica is not a long and deep acting remedy, so the harm caused will not be much. But unlike other remedy, this remedy also can cause the vital life fore to move a little further away from the required position. This action can cause the diseases to aggravate. This shift of vital force can be corrected only by the constitutional remedy(most likely indicated since long). In fact there are two aspects in this regard. One is that over use of any remedy will cause the remedy to produce it’s own symptoms. The second is that if the remedy used, happened to be an antidote as well, can cause constitutional disturbance and this disturbance can be corrected only by the constitutional remedy of the patient.
In dealing with the Homoeopathic remedies, the remedies relationship is very important aspect. There are many steps to go before getting a cure. If these steps are clear, getting the cure is easy and If these steps are not clear the Homoeopathy appears complicated. So, we must develop the art of wonderful cure.
Over working of any part/organ of the body is well attended by this remedy. A patient reported minor chest pain (left side), cause being the emotional disturbance. I gave Arnica 30 one pill and to my surprise the pain disappeared. As far as injury is concerned, just give one pill and wait for some time, it will reduce the pain. Do not repeat unless the pain increases. Two-three pills are enough for minor injuries. If you give more, the pain may increase in stead of reducing. I have used it in 30th potency for most of the time. If the injury is five days or older we can try Arnica 200. Just one pill should be enough. Never use much. I used 3-4 pill of the 200th potency in a lady. Her injury pain disappeared but her regulars did not appear. I thought, may be due to Arnica 200. I stopped the use immediately and decided not to give any antidote. Her regulars appeared next in time and no other complain. I saw a case, the patient had taken Arnica 1M on his own, without any advice from anybody. It caused him chest complain. In my opinion Arnica 30 and 200 can treat any type of injury. Never use 1M, It is too strong. 1M can cause muscular pain, because Arnica is a remedy for muscles. Arnica 1M can have adverse effect on the heart. Higher the potency, deeper the action, is the general rule for remedies. Arnica 200 is supposed to work deeper than Arnica 30. But by the time we think of Arnica 200, the Bellis Perennis 30 comes in picture. Yet, we can try Arnica 30,200. Arnica 200 works better for little older injury. The best antidote for Arnica is Nux.vomica 30.
Arnica tincture(Q) can be applied on the injury (contusion) externally or can be taken internally. It reduces the pain caused by the injury. Never apply externally on the open/bleeding injury.
Never use/apply Arnica Q on the cuts or bleed due to injury. Never take Arnica internally as well. Arnica may act to promote suppuration.
Arnica can antidote the effects of Cinchona officinalis (China) and therefore Arnica may aggravate the sufferings. It may show some effects or signs of China. The harm will be of lesser degree in most of the cases.
Bellis Perennis
This remedy has very good action on the muscular fibres of the blood vessels(Involving any part of the body). It acts on the deeper muscles. An excellent remedy for sprains and bruises. I have seen it’s action in the case of blood clots resulting from the injury. This remedy clears the blood clots very effectively and dramatically. I have used 30th potency with great success. Just give one pill and wait for about 24-36 hours. For small injury one pill is enough. For major injury and too much blood clots, we can repeat the remedy depending upon the need. Few pills of the remedy is sufficient to clear the blood clot completely. Give a gap of two-three days before repeating the remedy. It can be used simultaneously with any other injury remedies. Nux.v 30 can be used as an antidote. Bellis perennnis is not a deep and long acting remedy, so avoid using antidote. Never use it to the extent that we need to antidote the remedy. Even if you have used one or two excess pills, just leave it. The action will go off on it’s own. The excess pills will, at the most, create some redness around or little pain. The redness will get clear and pain will subside automatically in few days. Nothing else to worry. The over all quantity to be used, can be decided depending on the injury.
Hypericum
A very good remedy for injury to nerves, specially fingers, toes, nails, and finger tips. It is an anti tetanus remedy. I have used for nerve injury with great success. I have used it in 30th potency. It is not a long acting remedy and not very harmful. One pill may act for two-three days. It reduces the pain caused by the injury so just give one pill for all kind of injury. Repeat if required. You can automatically come to know the use and working duration after using it for some times. In any case the quantity has to be less for the kids but one pill is quite good quantity even for the kids.
Ledum pal
It is a wonderful remedy for sprains, bruises and injury which caused bleeding. It is the best anti tetanus remedy. In case of contusions, the blue discolouration of the skin is cleared and made normal under the action of this remedy. I have used it in 30th potency with most successful results. It is comparatively a long acting remedy. One pill acts for about 15 days, depending upon the severity of the case and the patient. The excess pill may create rheumatism in the feet and travel upward. I have tried and tested this remedy in excess. The effect is not much deep and does not trouble for longer time. But better to remain limited to cure of injury. The best antidote is Camphor 30 or simple kapoor water. Never use Camphor 30 and Nux.v 30 simultaneously or after each other. It creates dangerous situation. It sets up a nervous disturbance. I used one remedy after another and the lady felt as if a sensation/glow rising from the toe and traveling to the head repeatedly many times. Got scared. But the situation became normal after few minutes. So I decided, not to give any other remedy and never to use these two all along. All the injury remedies can be used simultaneously. So watch the effect of each remedy and use only one remedy as an antidote for all the injury remedies. In doing so, use only Nux v. 30 as an antidote for all the injury remedies. Ledum pal can be used for bad effects from bites by insects and honey bees. The burning sensation and the pain reduces immediately.
Ruta
It is a very effective remedy for the treatment to injured bones. It effects the periosteum and cartilages. If there is any tendency to formation of deposits on the periosteum, tendons and around joints, wrists, Ruta is sure to be given. If it involves joints then symphytum should be given simultaneously. Direct injury to bone is well attended by Ruta. It can be used in 6 and 30 potency. I use 30the potency with great success. It is very strong in 30th potency. So, just give one pill. Never repeat it. One pill will work for longer time and clear the case. In case of minor injury, give 1/2 of a pill. I used it successfully for the injury in head as well. I got an injury in toe bone. I took one pill of it. The pain vanished after about 15 hours. I realised that Ruta 30 is strong potency and 1pill is a big quantity. What we should do is, just control the quantity of the remedy. Determine the quantity depending up on the injury. Making half pill is very easy. just take two spoon of water in a tea cup. Put one pill of the remedy. Cover it with a small plate. Leave it for ten minutes. The pill will get dissolved. Just shake it, to mix it. Take one spoon of it and throw the left over one spoon. Simple. Like wise you can make the quantity as required.
Ruta can antidote effects of Mer. sol. and therefore may mildly effect Merc sol constitution. This effect will not be much but very little and mild.
Symphytum
It is the best remedy for an injured joints. The chief action is centred on sinews, tendons and periosteum. It works wonder in bone fracture. Symphytum encourages the release of Callus (A supportive liquid for binding the fractured bone). A patient came to me with a complain of painful wrist area of left hand. He had a fracture about five years before. The pain disappeared permanently under the action of symphytum 30 1 pill. It is useful in tincture,6,12 potency. But I use 30th potency for most of the time. It gives very good results. But remember the 30th potency is very strong and 1 pill may work up to 4 months. Have a control on the quantity depending up on the case. Use 1/2 pill or 1/3 of a pill for small injury. You can make out the idea of quantity after using several times. Excess quantity may increase the pain in stead of cure. But the increased pain subsides over a period of time, giving permanent relief from the pain. It is considered best remedy after a blow on eyes (black eye). We can use it along with Arnica.
Homoeopathy is a very good and reliable system. It gives complete cure of injury and not expensive. I will be blessed if I successfully promote Homoeopathy— even a little forward. Long live the name of Dr. Hahnemann.
Calendula
Calendula is the greatest healing agent. Promotes healthy and rapid healing by first intention. It can be used to treat wound due to injury. An excellent remedy for burn as well.
Arnica can antidote effects of calendula and therefore never use Arnica if Calendula is required. If arnica is used in stead of calendula by mistake, then the wound will aggravate and suppurate.
