Homeopathic Medicine Arnica – Its use in Treating Injuries

Homeopathic Medicine Arnica

Homeopathic Medicine Arnica

Arnica Montana, commonly known as Arnica is a well known homeopathic medicine used mainly for its great efficacy in treating nearly all kinds of injuries. One can judge the efficacy of Arnica in healing injured tissues from the fact that many general surgeons as well as plastic surgeons around the world have started to use this homeopathic medicine to promote healing and minimising the post operative infections. An Eye Surgeon that I know , gives a dose of Arnica to the patient after he operates him .According to him the eye heals up much faster and also its use eliminates the chances of a post operative infection in the eye. In the field of sports medicine it is being used extensively to treat injured athletes. It has a special role in treating severe head injuries and conditions that result out of an injury to the brain and spinal cord.

Arnica as a Homeopathic Medicine

In homoeopathy Arnica is used mainly for treating injuries. The best part of arnica is that it is very effective in treating injuries ranging from mild falls and contusions to severe traumas like head and spine injuries.Arnica is indicated for use in following mild to moderate injuries- Injuries from bumps, falls and other accidents, sudden forceful contact with a blunt instrument resulting in bruising and swelling to skin and muscles; bleeding and inflammation deep in the muscle fibers. Arnica is a prime medicine for sprains and strains. It is of great help in reducing pain in fractures and also in pains of old fractures.

Arnica’s Role in Treating Head Injuries

The role of arnica in treating serious injuries like head injuries and spinal injuries requires a special recommendation here. It can minimize the post injury effects and can be a great boon for those who go into coma after the injury. Its special role in helping the patient to come out of coma after the injury is what puts Arnica in the special category of treating head injuries.

Also conditions that arise after a head injury whether recent or remote. For Example epilepsy after an injury to the head; loss of memory; speech problems after an injury etc are effectively cured with Arnica.

Arnica Role in Absorption Of Blood In Internal Injuries

Another condition where arnica does great wonders is in re-absorption of blood. Whether it is brain hemorrhage or bleed in the retina, Arnica accelerates the absorption of clot.

Arnica (Arnica Montana) is an Alpine herb native to the mountains of Siberia and central Europe .It works by improving blood flow to the areas of tissue damage, thereby assisting in the healing processes. It also has antibiotic properties too.

Arnica can be used at home for minor falls and injuries and usually in injuries where upper surface of the skin is not broken, but please remember that in injuries where bleeding has taken place, Arnica should only be used only when the bleeding has stopped either by suturing or the wound has gone thru the stage of initial clot formation. 30 C potency of Arnica can be used to treat minor falls and injuries at home. For injuries of severe nature, professional help must be sought.

What  what be the correct dosage for Arnica to be used  ?

    My mother was admitted to hospital due to brain hemmorrhage. She is in coma for last 15 days. Is there any homepathic medicine to remove /dissolve the blood clots in brain. If so, please suggest the treatment.

  2. Vijay Pawar says:

    I am 80.Since one year, suffering from compression of spine nerves located at L4-L5. Tingling through both legs. Standing for long time creates numbness in both legs. There is no pain in back.
    Again there is ischial bursities in right bottom.Sitting starts pain and it becomes excruciating.I did ayurvedic treatment of Patanjali for two months. Further I underwent ayurvedic treatment from Santulan. However none gave me any relief. Recently I read an article, which mentions following homeopathy medicines for this.
    CIMICIFUGA – ARNICA – BELADONA – MATUMMUR – KALIFOS.

    Is it possible to reduce this suffering?

    Dear Dr. Sharma,

    How much do you charge for consultations? I’m not sure if I should just go to a homeopath here in the United States…I have been trying to get help through free online advice but it is so confusing about dosages and how long. This will have to do with my daughter. She has lower back scoliosis…not too severe but her left hip comes out more than her right. She is 16 with dark wavy to straight long hair, fair skin, on the thin side but her stomach is distended for some reason. She is argumentative with us but shy around other people. She is helpful at times but likes to get her way. She seems to not want to throw anything away and doesn’t like to tidy her room at all but she like certain things in certain places. She likes herself to look good and tries to put makeup on and look stylish but her room is a mess. She has always had problems with reading and math and has mild dyslexia. She excels in anything hands on like science and technology. The last homeopath had her on Lycho which seemed to help with her studies, then Gratiola for her being argumentative and wanting her way….somehow through different trials of the homeopathic medicine her stomach distended this past year. She has always had some sort of pooch on her stomach but now she looks like she is 3 months pregnant and she is only 16. I assure you she is not pregnant at all because she continues to have her period. As a baby she had cradle cap and constipation and was slightly slower learning how to walk and talk compared to her brother who did everything at a year. It took her 13-14 months. She was more clumsy also as a baby and child. She is only 5 feet 4 inches but could be taller if her back was straighter. She loves animals, fashion, science, and technology. Her back causes her not to be able to stand for a long period of time. She gets tired easily and at times she complains of her ribs hurting. Our last resort would be surgery. I know homeopathy works with layers and as soon as one is cured another layer shows up. I don’t have a lot of funds at the moment as I am looking for a job, but need some direction.

    Thank you,
    Cindy
