Want a quick reference for the uses of the main homoeopathic remedies for injury cases? For the sake of those who aren't clear on homeopathy's role in medical practices throughout the world, allow me to declare its sterling reputation. Homeopathy was counted upon by American Civil War surgeons, WW1 and WW2 camps and is the mainstay of homeopathic emergency rooms throughout the world.

The following remedies; used in medium to high potencies work best for those who are familiar with homeopathy. They should be repeated every 15-30 minutes in severe situations and more infrequently as the pathology becomes less serious. There is nothing wrong with continuing the course of action for a week or even longer, as long as symptoms remain. Here is a short list of the best remedies and their indications to have committed to memory and to have on hand:

1. Bitten	Ledum		12. Infected	Arsenicum iodatum
2. Bled	Vipera		13. Inflamed	Ferrum phos
3. Burned	Urtica urens		14. Lacerated	Hypericum
4. Bruised	Arnica montana		15. Punctured	Ledum
5. Contused	Arnica montana		16. Poisoned	Arsenicum
6. Dislocated	Arnica montana		17. Suffocated	Carbo veg
7. Exerted	Rhus tox		18. Shocked	Aconitum
8. Electrocuted	Phosphorus		19. Stung	Ledum
9. Fatigued	Bioplasma		20. Over indulged	Nux vomica
10. Impaled	Hypericum		21. Slivered	Silica
11. Incised	Calendula

The more serious the situation, the higher the potency needed of either Arnica or Aconitum. For example if someone has had a concussion of severity, on the way to the hospital, a 1M potency would be advisable. Offer it every 15 minutes or more until consciousness is restored. If instead, it's only a mild head injury Arnica 30 will often do the trick when offered every 15 minutes or so. You would use a 200 potency for a moderate injury.

The less experience you have, the more important it is to stay with lower potencies such as 30c or 30x. Homeopathy is safe when and only when utilized properly. So I entreat you to learn as much as you can and when you're finished, learn a little more. If you're unsure, call us for a consultation. We're always in the ready.

Plantain…. the weed that comes in handy It is the quintessential herb that is not only ubiquitous, (it's right there in your lawn), but powerful in fending off infections and cleansing a wound. Pick it on a picnic as a first measure in fending of infection after an injury or to soothe bug bites, eczema, poison ivy, or other minor skin irritations. The way this has been done for centuries is to break up the leaf with clean hands to emit the medicinal juices and place directly on the wound. Keep it there until you can get to a source of soap and water. Once you have flushed the wound, reapply a fresh leaf or two. You can make a soothing poultice of fresh, mashed leaves and a little cool water (especially for use on sunburns). As always, be mindful of the environment from which the plant derives. We always want herbs that are set away from traffic or pesticides.
