Details

• In homeopathy, arnica is the remedy of choice for falls, sprains, blows, wounds, fractures, and soft tissue injury.
• It reduces and prevents pain, bleeding, bruising and swelling, and accelerates healing.
• Dr. Asa Hershoff, in his excellent book, Homeopathy for Musculoskeletal Healing, (North Atlantic, 1996) details the uses of arnica.
• It is the first remedy for muscular sprains, strains, and bruising.
• It is excellent for soreness after sleeping on a hard bed or soreness after exercise.
• It is recommended before and after operations and dental work.
• After childbirth, it speeds healing of bruised and swollen tissues.
• It is helpful after eye injuries, head injuries and concussions.
• It is also used for mental shock after injury, loss or grief.
• Arnica is one of the only remedies that can be used for the after effects of past trauma, especially if the person has never been well since the injury.
• Homeopathic remedies are usually taken as pellets made from lactose or in liquid form.
• In the case of arnica, it should be taken every ten minutes until the situation stabilizes, then four to six times a day.
• Homoeopathic arnica is available in gels, creams and ointments, but these are best combined with oral forms of the remedy.
• The herbal tincture (the herb preserved in alcohol) should never be applied to an open wound or taken internally.
• The diluted homeopathic form of arnica is the safest bet.
• A German homeopathic combination remedy, known as Traumeel, applied externally has proven effective for the treatment of sprained ankles.
• Ten days after the sprain, 24 of 33 patients given Traumeel were pain-free, versus 13 out of 33 given a placebo.
• Traumeel is also an excellent internal trauma remedy useful for any type of injury or fall.
