we go injuries and minor ailments keep following us and strike us
sometimes at the most unexpected time.There are many
homeopathic remedies that will safely and effectively take care of such
problems. It would be wise to keep homeopathic first aid remedies at
home and carry them with you whenever you are traveling.The
following injuries can be treated safely with homeopathic medicines:Bruises:
Arnica 30 C would help
relieve the pain and swelling which appear after a fall or an injury.Abrasions & Lacerations: Calendula 30 C may be used to
help in the healing of the wound and prevent infection. Calendula Q (external) may be
diluted with sterile water and used for cleaning and dressing the wound.
When there are injuries to parts that are supplied with a lot of sensory
nerves (like the tips of the fingers), Hypericum 200C will relieve the
pain and soothe the inflamed tissue.Sprains: Apply
ice to the part for at least 15 minutes. This will lessen the pain and
swelling of the joint. Rhus
toxicodendron 200 C should be taken internally to cause early
healing.Burns: Put the
burnt part under flowing tap water. This will cool the tissues and
prevent the deeper tissues from being damaged. Cantharis 200 C given internally
will help heal the skin and soothe the burning pains. It is also known
to prevent blisters if taken immediately on being burnt. Cantharis Q (external) may be
diluted with sterile water and used for cleaning and dressing the wound.Bone injuries: For
superficial injuries involving the periosteum, Ruta 30 C should be taken
internally. If you suspect a fracture of the bone, try to immobilize the
part by splinting the limb, and rush to your doctor. The bone may need
to be set or if there has been severe injury and displacement of the
bone fragments, surgery may be required. At the same time you should
take Symphytum 30 C. Calcarea phosphorica 6x is a
biochemic remedy that helps in the repair of bones.Insect bites and pin/needle pricks: Wash
the part with soap and take Ledum
30 C.Bee stings: Apis 200 C will reduce the
redness, swelling and burning of the part.The dose is 3
pills to be kept under the tongue 3 or 4 times daily. External
applications may be diluted in sterile water and used as a dressing. If
symptoms persist or seem to get worse, it would be wise to consult your
physician.
