Think like a Homeopath… 1. What happened?

2. Which tissues and body parts are affected?

3. What is the body doing? (Better and Worse?)

I was rollerblading on a bumpy path when I slipped and fell landing on my wrist and elbow. The wrist feels sprained and is annoyingly stiff and painful. I can’t flex by pointer finger very well. A warm water bottle on the injury also really helps.

Inflammation Redness, Heat, Swelling…is it all bad?

Inflammatory process

Immobilization of injury site

Activation of immune response

Destruction of pathogens

Delivery of oxygen and nutrients

Delivery of repair cells

What we hold in our minds, we hold in our bodies.

Head Injuries Arnica is commonly used to reduce shock, pain and swelling.

Bruising Arnica…a favorite first-aid remedy. Swelling and bruising with soreness and aching. Blunt injuries.

Bellis…“the internal arnica.” Well suited for bruising of internal organs and glands. (blows to the abdomen, breasts, testes)

Hypericum…for the “nerve bruises.” (tips & nails of fingers/toes, and the spine, especially the tailbone-coccyx)

Ruta...for bone and periosteum bruises.

Cases: Bellis, Hypericum, Ruta

Case 1: Soreness of abdomen after punch to the trunk of the body. Feels tender and there’s some internal bruising. Case 2: Severe pain after kick to the shin. Remedy for bruises of the periosteum, especially used where the bone is close to the surface like the shinbone, hip-iliac crest or elbow. Case 3: A slip on the ice, lands the skater on her tailbone. The tailbone is at the base of the spinal cord and is densely innervated.

Cases

Case 1: Bellis…“the internal Arnica.” Well suited for bruising of internal organs. Case 2: Ruta for bruises to the bone and periosteum. Case 3: Hypericum for “nerve bruises.”

Sprains and Strains Arnica, acute sprains and muscle strain after unaccustomed

exercise, involving swelling and bruised pain.

Ruta, joint, ligaments, tendon or cartilage injury. Bruised soreness, weak joints, lameness, restless, weariness. Has an specially affinity for smaller joints. Better warmth and gentle motion.

Rhus tox, stiff, restless, sore painful muscle and tendon from overexertion. Pain worse on initial motion, yet improved with continued motion. Pain is much better with warmth, even hot compresses and worse cold. Has a special affinity for the back.

Cases: Ruta and Rhus tox

On the court, he dives for the ball and falls directly on the knee. The doctor suspects a small cartilage tear. He has also sprained a finger joint. The doctor suspects a injury to a tendon. Injuries are better warm applications.

It’s been a fun, but rough day on the trail and he has tweaked his back. The pain is much better with a hot water bottle. He is understandably irritable and the pain is causing more restless than usual.
