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.

My daughter got a head injury on the back of her head when she bumped on a wooden bed. Immediately I applied ice on the area for 30 mins. There is no cut but a bump and the area has become quiet sensitive. I am giving her a homeopathy medicine Rutavine R55 every 4 hours. How long will it take for the pain to go completely. Pls suggest if it is required to give her any other medicine along with R55?
My grandson suffered brain damage due to cardiac arrest from lack of oxygen from an acute asthma attack. His heart actually stopped for 20 minutes but CPR was still done during this time. He is nine years old was in a coma and on life support for 10 days. We are very blessed and grateful that we have him hear with us and he is making a miraculous recovery. We are in rehabilatation he is learning to walk again doing very well. There is scarring on the brain developing and the damage is in his hand eye coordination and in his vision. The swelling (edema) is subsiding but the eye doctor did see swelling upon his exam on the optic nerve. What would you recommend for this ?

My son (now 32) had auto accident 14 yrs ago. He was in coma for 3 months. He has been on conventional medicines for almost 7-8 years that has made his condition worse. First few years he was not on any medication and his condition was much better. His physical disabilities include loss of fine motor skills, maintaining balance while walking, incontinence due to conventional medication and not very clear speech. His mental issues include loss of short term memory, lack of awareness and so on. I would highly appreciate if someone can suggest homeopathy medicine.

Doctors have suggested that the symptoms from the scar tissue should have ceased by now. Is arnica a suitable treatment for such conditions?

Please help. My question to you is about our dog. We have a much loved pug who is 5 years old. He has been diagnosed with pde (pug dog encephalitis). We do not know why he has developed this. I have started him on belladonna three times a day, 30ch three granules each time, kalium phosphoricum 30ch, once a day and a daily dose of thuya occidental 30ch, (just in case it is related to immunizations). I was wondering about using helleborus 200ch as well. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
My husband is 82. He was very active walking over 4 miles 4 days a week and religiously going to gym 3 times a week. He had 2 falls over 4 weeks at home and third one on 3/15 when he was on his morning walking. He had blood in his head that they removed by making two holes then the air got in and when the Dr. drilled the third hole to remove the air, nothing came out. CT showed the he had blood on both of his frontal lobes and brain had significant amount of swelling, but pressure remained normal. Week old CT scan shows that his swelling is down, no blood on the left side, but still some blood on the right. He had PT for the last 6 weeks, but he is still having problem getting himself up. He can walk with help, but not with the walker, has tendency to lean forward towards left. He tires out easily and takes two napes daily. Does not tell when he needs to go to bathroom. He talks, but his short term memory is not there. He has very good appetite. When he is not tired, he can have normal conversation. He used to love to read news paper magazines, but not anymore.
Beside his BP and GERD medicine, he is Sinemet and takes supplements. I believe in Homeopathy and I will really appreciate your advise.
Thanks,
Kusum
