In a recently completed study, Dr Edward Chapman of Boston?s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital demonstrated that homeopathy significantly lessens the symptoms and improves the functioning of individuals with mild chronic head injury.
For what is now backed up by research are what homeopathy, for the last two centuries, have been trying to advocate ? that neurological problems arising out of injuries, either recent or remote, can be effectively treated with homeopathy. Not only does homeopathy help in treating the long-term effects of injury, but also it can help in stopping internal hemorrhage (bleeding) if the injury is fresh. It can also reduce swelling in the brain.
Assault on the head
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a term used to describe a sudden physical assault on the head that causes damage to the brain. It occurs in two types: closed and penetrating. A closed head injury occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, but the object does not break through the skull (e.g. head hitting the dashboard in a car accident). A penetrating type is like a gun shot wound.
An injury can also occur in response to the shaking of the brain within the confines of the skull, an injury called “countercoup”. Shaken baby syndrome is a kind of a countercoup injury that is caused when the baby is violently shaken and the brain sustains injury due to the sudden violent shaking.
What kind of damage occurs?
As brain controls the whole body functions, the possibility of the damage that it can cause engulfs a wide spectrum of disabilities. Loss of consciousness, loss of motor power and/or sensation, loss or decrease in one?s cognitive abilities (the process of knowing in the broadest sense, including perception, memory and judgment) and loss or decrease in one?s speech, swallowing, etc, are usually the most common ones.
The impact of the injury causes the brain to move back and forth against the inside of the bony skull. The frontal (front) and temporal (side) lobes of the brain, the major speech and language areas often receive the most damage in this way because they sit in pockets of the skull that allow more room for the brain to shift and sustain injury. Because these major speech and language areas often receive damage, communication difficulties frequently occur following closed head injuries.
It is often very difficult to predict the damage or the nature of the damage in the first week, as the freshly injured brain undergoes swelling and bruising, and it is only after the swelling has subsided that the real residual abnormalities are detected.
The wonder of arnica lies in treating brain injuries, recent or remote, in the most natural and effective way. It is more of a head injury panacea. It helps in first controlling the bleeding in the brain and also in reducing the swelling in the brain. It has been found useful when years after the brain injury, symptoms related to it start appearing.
Neurological effects of injuries
The degree to which a homeopath can help is governed by two factors: by the extent of the damage , and the function of the brain that has been compromised.
Although quite a few of the effects can be handled by Arnica alone, the residual abnormalities do have a wide range. Homoeopathy has in its repository other effective medicines that are specific to certain conditions that arise from brain injuries. For example, there are separate groups of medicines for epilepsy, paralysis, memory and speech loss, etc, occurring after brain injury.

I had head injury 14 years ago and I came to the realization after some recent issues that I don’t think it ever healed. I just put some Arnica cream where the bump or injury is and my mental clarity improved and I felt better. Another option that might have happened when I put the cream on is that it (talking about Maharishi Ayurveda now) balanced prana vata and made me feel grounded and more at ease. I am not sure which. Recently, I saw a Naturopathic Doctor who practices another form of Ayurveda and she tried to balance vata and gave me Hyoscyamus Niger. It seemed like everything she did helped to a degree, but nothing beats it when prana vata is balanced. As I am typing I am remembering some things I did in the early 2000’s and I remember when I used Amla Berry to balance all my doshas and it balanced prana vata too. This dr could be going back to fix some of the areas which could lead to balancing prana vata but I am not going to wait. I am going to see a vaidya at Lancaster Ayurveda in Lancaster MA in January to have them figure this out. I have seen them for something else and they helped me out a lot.

Hello there,
For a persistent lump (4 years after a head injury) that feels pulsating pain when arnica gel applied, but otherwise it doesn’t hurt, what can we do?
Yes, yes — homeopathy can help many years post-injury. I have seen enormous benefits from homeopathy with brain-injured patients even years post-injury. Benefits — even if not a full-recovery — are permanent, unlike normal pharmacological interventions.

My friend has had 2 concussions in the last year from playing hockey. She suffers from many headaches, confusion and memory loss. It overwhelms her when asked to do even 3 different things at once. She also has vertigo so has trouble laying down. This has gone away but now come back. She gets regular head massages that help her head feel better but as she is getting them she sees alot of colors and is light headed afterwards. I do not have the details of what part of her head was hit but I could find out. Was wondering if you have any suggestions at this point for some natural treatments. Her doctor keeps prescribing anti-depressants. She says they just make her feel more anxious about things. It surprises me that there is not more options out there from doctors. Her life is on hold and she hasn’t been able to work since the last concussion.

my boyfriend had been in coma for about 10 days because of an accident. doctor said that his brain was injured. it’s already a month and half after the accident. he has improved a lot but sometimes he forgets some things that he used to easily remember before. he told me that it is the result of the homeopathic medicine that he took. now, he refuses to take the homeopathic medicine anymore. is it ok for him? will there be any bad effects on him? is that true that the taking of homeopathic medicine is the reason of why he forgets?
Sometimes before a remedy evokes a cure the symptoms get worse or new symptoms occur. This is a sign of the homeopathic working. I have seen this many times in 23 years of using remedies. It is the hardest part to remain on the remedy especially after going through so much to get to this point in your healing. We veterans know ths as a sign of the right remedy. Usually only lasts a few days…gets worse and then when you think you want to quit, it gets so much better that you can’t believe you doubted it. Try again to hang on through this tough stage. Write down old and new symptoms and look forward to the old ones going away. Good luck

My father, 83 years age, fell down and suffered injury and internal bleeding in brain. For 4 weeks he did not show any major symptom except for slight imbalance. He had earlier incidents of falling too. He suffered sodium potassium imbalance many times and is a known hypertension patient on regular medication. I s there something in homeopathy which does not allow blood to spread in brain and increase pressure I mean control his condition from worsening because Doctors feel that blood can mix with fluids and spread and exert more pressure on brain which may deteriorate his condition, even after more than a moth of his fall.
