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.

Respected Dr. Sahib
My mother is 55 yr old and on 1 jan 2015 went through shunting surgery for fluid accumulation in brain. MRI showed lesions at 2 locations in brain. doctors correlate it with breast tumour, which she had for an year but did not get treated. she was treated with radiation, chemotherapy and steroidal therapy for an year.
Her latest MRI shows bigger lesions and a chronic sub dural haematoma.
Could you please help to save her life?
Dear Dr Sharma,
2 years ago a befriended family here in Malta (EU) asked our help. Their son had a severe (car) accident and was already more than 3 months in coma. He was diagnosed severe brain trauma and had surgery.
The doctors told the family, that, with lots of luck, their son might come out of the coma after 12-18 months after the operation. He was heavily medicated.
We are both Crystal Reiki Masters and I am a Tao Tantric Master. We help many people, in particular abused people and in particular children. We don’t do this for money, since we feel our gifts are to be made available for the people.
I am involved in (laboratory) research since I was 12 yr old, with my uncle, an international awarded professor in Netherlands. Our personal backgrounds are connected to healthy food patterns. Malta does not recognize homeopathy or any other way of healing than “”modern Western medicine””. BUT, we are slowly opening doors and making people think….
With some guidance of a befriended Native Indian shaman (USA), and the use of our crystals, reiki, flower therapy and etheric oils and the help of our guiding angels & ascended masters, we succeeded in establishing communication with the coma patient. He wanted to come back but had some personal problems with which he requested help. In short, in 6 weeks he came out of coma.
His speech improved a lot, his memory came partly back, his medication is minimalized.
Still, we all feel that he can improve. Your article is revealing possibilities. Since you are very much experienced in homeopathy, maybe you can guide us in helping this friend of ours with suggestions.
Many thanks,
Namaste

Have a patient that had a fall 12 years ago and was well until 6 months ago when he started with headache, pain in neck and cramping of muscles that appeared a convulsion. I used diferent homeopathic remedies and was well controlled until he had another fall while taking a shower. His radiografic studies were not to helpful only he had left side high activity, without injury.
What homeopathic remedies do you suggest?

40 year old male was in atv accident air lifted to the hospital. Dr said liver was split they had to do surgery to fix it because he was bleeding internal. He said he was bleeding from the brain broke ribs and broke a bone in his back . They did surgery on his liver and said they waiting on him to come to before they touch the brain bleeding because they the brain was not swelling but they are keeping him under suddation. My question is shouldn’t they drain the blood off his brain before it causes swelling
Before fore months ago my father was fall down a Ganges side and his head was injured. Doctors says that is not a big matter. But while he falt he lost his memory for few houres. After that his memory was come back again. But day by day he becomes more weak, virtigo problem, a presur creat on his brain and he cant move and trying to sit down.
When the problem is incresed doctor told me for a brain MRI. Which is we have done few days ago. MRI reports wise he has ” subacute subdural hematoma in right fronto-peiretal region and left fronto -peirital region”
And doctors advice for brain surggery.
Now will u please tell me what to do?? Have any treatment in homiopathy??
Sir, I slipped and fell, hit my right side of my head and sustained a cut four inches above my ear. My skull did not open so i had four stitches. Now when I try to sleep on my affected right side I can feel the whole room going round and round, so kindly recommend a treatment.
My husband was recently diagnosed with CTE (as much as one can be diagnosed with it while still alive). CTE (if you aren’t aware is chronic traumatic encephalopathy ). He suffers from depression and daily headaches. This is all very new and we are searching for solutions to improve his quality of life. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello Dr. Sharma…
One of my best friends Penny was riding bikes with her husband when an accident occurred and he hit the pavement on his right side of his face/head. He WAS and always wears a helmet. However, this fall apparently happened due to dyhratation as he did not put his hands out to break his fall. This…also left him with a broken stureum, four ribs and a broken cheek bone.
He has now been in the hospital for 22 days. He was airlifted from the scene and has gone from the Emergency to IcU to IcU surgical floor (for his tracheotomy). To now the rehabilitation center (Roger C Peace in Greenville SC).
This is one of MANY sad stories but I am doing research myself to see what I can find out on the homeopathic side of healing? I love this couple so much and I am a BIG FAN/BELIEVER in holistic medicine.
He is a very FIT 73 year old and advise bike rider. Can you suggest anything that his wife can do while he is going through this healing process?
I am grateful to any advise. Thank you so kindly.
