Homeopathy Shock and Burns

I look forward to the day when every household has a homeopathic remedy kit, and every person knows how to use homeopathy in emergency situations. I’ve written blogs about simple injuries, such as sprains and strains. Today, let’s take a look at a couple more remedies everyone should know how to use.

Aconite: The Shock Remedy

Aconitum napellus (Aconite) should be your first thought for shock of any kind. Most shock issues will be benefited by this miraculous remedy.

I like to use the term “quick shock” to characterize Aconite.

When someone’s symptoms come on quickly, with gusto and intensity, Aconite is often the best-matched remedy. It’s useful for high fevers that come on with gusto within minutes or hours. Likewise, think Aconite for shock from an injury (especially to the eye), electric shocks, the shock of surgery, exposure from cold wind or for someone who has witnessed a severe accident or catastrophe.

Aconite also serves as a salve for fears that have a panic state to them. This includes fear of death, darkness or a sense of impending doom. Any of these emotions can be aroused when someone is made very sick in a short period of time, such as in an accident or from fast fever onset.

Some characteristics that indicate the need for Aconite are anxiety with fear of death, a red face and restlessness. Restlessness often causes insomnia and a feeling of a quickened heartbeat.

Any anxiety or fear following an accident or frightening incident is cause for the use of Aconite.

Common fears that can be helped with Aconite include fear of earthquakes, airplanes, heart failure, being in a crowd and claustrophobia.

Aconite can abort pneumonia if given within the first 24-48 hours after the first sign of pneumonia symptoms. I’ve witnessed this a number of times in my family and many of my students and clients have reported the same.

Aconitum can also help with panic, exposure to extreme cold and even apparent death, such as a severe electrical shock or suffocation. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be treated with Aconite.

I received many calls after 911 from clients in New York City who were aided by using Aconite 200 for several weeks. It restored their calm in the storm, so they were more useful citizens, rather than panicked ones.

One call was from the wife of a firefighter who lost many friends on that tragic day. He was left in a state of shock that disabled him for days until Aconite was administered. It restored him to duty and a desire to work again.

A young woman came to me years ago who had been assaulted by two hoodlums. The incident had occurred months before her arrival in my office. She had been experiencing panic attacks ever since the event and was unable to sleep or concentrate. A few days' worth of Aconite put her sleep in order, and a repeat dose two weeks later eliminated the panic attacks.

Remember: For sudden and shocking, think Aconitum napellus 30C or 200. This a handy remedy to carry with you at all times.

Cantharis: The Best Burn Remedy

Cantharis is a powerful remedy for burns. Whether it results from steam, exposure to the sun or chemicals, electrical or direct exposure, Cantharis can speed recovery, minimize the chance of infection and reduce the pain and swelling.

In a first-degree burn, I teach my students to start with Aconite every 15 minutes for shock and pain and to stop after 6 doses. Then administer Cantharis 200C for the burn itself. Cantharis may also be used alternately with Aconite. In other words, on the hour Aconite can be given, while on the half-hour Cantharis is the best choice. It may take several doses, but improvement ought to be noted in short order.

For second- and third-degree burns, Cantharis 200 can be used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. Seek medical help immediately and give Cantharis as soon as possible on the way to the emergency room. It can be used every 30 minutes until the pain begins to settle down, then less frequently.

The more severe the injury, the longer the medicine will need to be taken. It may need to be used for days or even weeks.

Remember: For burns, think Cantharis 200.
