Head Injury :its Homeopathic treatment

imageIn 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.

  14. Mukesh Bhardwaj says:

    Dear Sir,
    My son was treated for hypoglycaemia with glucose 23 on day 3. Since 3 months of age he started getting myoclonic jerks when he is awake. During jerk, he bend forward and loose the tone of his muscles for a fraction of second. Their intensity and frequency was initially low which kept on increasing. Due to ignorance, we did not get it treated. Now he is 11 months. He used to get 50 to 100 jerks in a day. Usually more after he woke up. We recently got him examined by paediatric neurologist. MRI detected brain injury in right occipital lobe. Sleep EEG was abnormal with polyspikes and there was no photosensitivity. Also he has delayed milestones. He do not pick toys in hand and never crawl over hand and toes. After a week of treatment with Sodium vaproite and clonazepam, we thought of discontinuing it in order to shift to homeopathy and therefore started tapering down the dose. My local doctor recently recommended arnica 30 (4 pills thrice daily) to decrease side effect of brain injury. Jerks are still there. I therefore request you to suggest homeo medicines.
