Summer and baseball! Don’t you just love this season?
Just about a year ago, I attended a Cleveland Indians baseball game and had the best time (as you can tell from my face in the photo). But we were sitting safely tucked away from where any errant baseballs could pose a hazard.
However, kids throwing the ball around the yard are not quite as safely removed from projectiles! I wonder if there are any statistics on how many wayward balls have plonked their way into kids’ eye orbits? I’m guessing quite a few.
Any blunt force trauma to the eye orbit — like a ball hitting the face — is almost assuredly going to cause some measure of bruising. But even without serious injury, no one enjoys sporting a black eye. So, what should we have on hand to help address the discomfort of bruising from a blow to the periorbital area?
This is not a Banerji Protocol, but in my Academy of Practical Homeopathy®, I teach students the efficacy of utilizing Ledum palustre 200, twice a day until the black eye is very much better. If there is accompanying pain within the eyeball itself, then Symphytum officinale 200, twice daily, may also be necessary.
This combination is most often a home run!
In my podcast, My Sewing Machine Attacked Me, you’ll find that I mention Ledum is great for a “shiner” anytime there’s black and blue around the eye. And I also share a few more tips about eye injuries.
However, be aware that Ledum is not necessarily for EVERY ecchymosis. It is specific to bruising of the area around the eye. In next week’s blog post, I’ll address bruising in general — bruising in other parts of the body.
Until then, as they say in baseball practice, “Keep your eye on the ball!” (Just not literally, please. Ouch!)
And don’t forget to pass on the good news of homeopathy.

I am a homeopath with a worldwide practice working with families and individuals via Zoom. I'm also a teacher and most importantly, a mom who raised my now-adult children depending on homeopathy over the last 31 years. I lived decades of my life with food intolerances, allergies, and chemical sensitivities until I was cured with homeopathy, so I understand pain, anxiety, and suffering. You may feel that your issues are more severe or different than anyone else’s, but I have seen it all in my practice and in my work in India. My opinion is that nothing has come close to the reproducible, safe and effective results that my clients, students and I have achieved with homeopathy.
Call today and learn how homeopathy might just be the missing piece in your health strategy.

One of our son’s started Little League this summer and it’s the BEST! I had an Emergency Kit stocked for his games. It was hard getting in the habit of bringing it along, but you know the one time you don’t that’s when something happens. Thank you for this! What we ended up using the most was Gelsemium 30C for pre-game nervousness for him and his Dad (the coach!).
My kiddo had a baseball to the eyebrow and the HUGE egg when down so fast with Arnica 200 several times that a black eye never even occurred. Would you have recommended these remedies for the initial injury, or are they more specific to the black eye part?
Arnica is often where we start for an injury to the head. But the true nature of the question is did what you do act appropriately? If the answer is yes, the you did the right thing.
Hi Joette! Have you heard of Brillia homeopathic remedy for ADHD? I’m interested in trying it for my daughter but it’s pretty pricey! I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
Isn’t Ledum also good for anti-doting spiders venom?
You bet!
When you say black eyes, is it dark circles or black eyes due to injuries?
From injury.
Joette, thank you for this great information. I have a question though. Your skin looks fabulous, just amazing! Is it due to your diet and/or certain remedies? Wow!
Thanks! I can’t say for sure what the reason is but I suspect it’s because I eat a lot of animal fats: butter, butter, butter, lard, raw cream and never any sunscreen or synthetics on my skin.
Thank you, Joette. By the way, I am seeing incredible healing in our family of various ailments and injuries by using your methods and remedies. Very grateful to have found you and your courses!
