Its speed of action. I can use homeopathic medicines like Arnica directly on the soccer field.\u201d\u2013Dr. Jean-Marcel Ferret.\/1<\/p>\n<p>So without any further ado, what remedies should you have with you on the sports field? We might as well start with Arnica, as, without a doubt, Arnica has almost single-handedly made Homeopathy famous! I would say seventy to eighty percent of the time, you\u2019re going to give Arnica for sports injuries; that\u2019s because Arnica is a specific for blunt trauma.<\/p>\n<p>Every homeopath carries Arnica with him (or her) in his (or her) pocket or car or backpack or all three. That\u2019s certainly the case with me; I have Arnica 10M in my pocket, Arnica 30C in my first aid kit in my backpack and Arnica 200C in my car. What can you do with Arnica? Practically anything! Think of it in car accidents, falls, head injuries, any blow, a sore bruised feeling from any cause\u2013even a flu with a sore bruised feeling all over the body.<\/p>\n<p>The worst head injuries where the person is seeing stars or has actually been knocked out can be brought back to health with a dose of Arnica. Post surgically, people who have taken Arnica have had no need for morphine or other pain relievers; now that\u2019s impressive! And I was one of those people once, so I know it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you may be wondering what Arnica, or any homeopathic remedy for that matter, looks like and in answer, the remedies look like little sugar granules and you can drop a few of them in a bottle of spring water, shake it up and take a sip. That\u2019s all you have to do! Always shake the water bottle before each dose. An unconscious person can take the remedy by mere contact of the water with his lips, he doesn\u2019t have to swallow it.<\/p>\n<h3>Arnica<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Blunt trauma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Broken bones, multiple fractures\u2013give Arnica first; you may have to follow with another remedy. In fact, an injured person may need many remedies in succession; a remedy for fright, followed by a remedy for blunt trauma and so on. (Try to leave space between each remedy so that you can ascertain the effect of the remedy just given.)<\/p>\n<p>Another curious thing about Arnica is they won\u2019t look well and will be dazed, but they\u2019ll tell you they\u2019re fine! They don\u2019t seem to know they\u2019re injured! When you see this, they need Arnica for sure! Furthermore, in a head injury, they may answer you correctly and then fall asleep. Arnica people don\u2019t want to be touched, so they\u2019ll send you away and they\u2019ll be very adamant about it.<\/p>\n<p>In counterdistinction to Arnica, we have another injury remedy that\u2019s sure they are not fine! In fact, they fear they\u2019re going to die, and that remedy is\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Aconite<\/h3>\n<p>Fright, panic and fear are the main features of the Aconite injury\u2013and that\u2019s just the parents! Yes, give the parents Aconite to calm them down! You\u2019ll look at the little soccer player after an injury and you\u2019ll see that he\u2019s frantic, groaning, tossing about, biting his fist in pain. Notice your reaction, are you scared? Then it\u2019s probably Aconite.<\/p>\n<p>They call Aconite \u201cThe Arnica of the eyes\u201d. So, getting poked in the eye, corneal abrasions, sand in the eyes, \u201cthere\u2019s something in my eye!\u201d, etc., give Aconite.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of the eyes, for \u201cBlack eyes\u201d we have\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Ledum<\/h3>\n<p>Any time an injured part feels cold, give Ledum. In a Ledum wound, you will see redness at the site, but surrounded by a ring of powder, or a ring that\u2019s bluish-white; it may feel cold and the injury is ameliorated by cold.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Black eye, we can\u2019t forget\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Symphytum<\/h3>\n<p>If I could possibly quote from Dr. Robin Murphy here, \u201cFor blows to the eye, Ledum and Symphytum are the first two; Arnica is #3. For severe achiness in the whole eyeball that is dark Blue and discolored. \u2026 For all the bone diseases; osteomyelitis, bone ulcers, spinal diseases after trauma and injury. \u2026 Someone gets hit in the face on the cheek, that is not an Arnica case; it is a Symphytum or Ruta case. Arnica is for soft tissue.<\/p>\n<p>Arnica may help but Symphytum will cure. \u2026 You get hit in the abdomen or arm, that is more Arnica. The chin, cheek, face or eye is more Symphytum. The knee would be Symphytum or Ruta.<\/p>\n<p>You can start with Arnica but a lot of times, that won\u2019t finish it. You may have to give two or three remedies in sequence to give rapid relief. Give Arnica to remove the bruised feeling and the swelling and help with the discoloration, then it is time to go to another remedy, like Symphytum to finish it.<\/p>\n<p>Symphytum has a great affinity for bones\u2026promotes healing; give Arnica first; once the broken bone is set, give Symphytum. It helps remove pain, inflammation and swelling, good for injury to periosteum when Ruta fails and injury to coccyx when Hypericum fails.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Hypericum<\/h3>\n<p>This is the nerve remedy. Have you ever dropped something on your toe or someone stepped on your fingers or the door closed on your hand and the pain shot up your arm? That\u2019s Hypericum! Injury to areas rich in nerves. Someone steps on your toes, you bite your tongue. The pain is sharp and shooting. Injury to the nerves, inflammation of the nerves. Falls on the tail bone.<\/p>\n<h3>Calendula<\/h3>\n<p>A partner with Hypericum, often you\u2019ll see the two of them sold together as \u201cHyperical\u201d. They\u2019re both for cuts, open wounds, deep abrasions, multiple abrasions, chapping, chafing, bleeding, stabbing\u2026.I think you get the idea that Calendula is an Antiseptic! Pour Calendula water on an open wound to clean it out.<\/p>\n<p>Drop some Calendula pellets in a plant sprayer and spray the whole area that\u2019s been abraded. Take the remedy internally as well. It stops bleeding, stops the redness, puffiness and pus formation at the site of a wound and stimulates healing, soothes the pain.<\/p>\n<h3>Staphysagria<\/h3>\n<p>It can be hard to decide when to use Staphysagria and when to use Calendula. Both are wound remedies. But with Staphysagria there is more pain, exquisite pain! In fact, do you know where I use Staphysagria? At the dentist\u2019s office! Scraping the plaque off of sensitive teeth can cause a patient to hit the ceiling!<\/p>\n<p>For this I take Staphysagria 10M right as I sit down in the dentist\u2019s chair; and as Homeopathic Remedies don\u2019t create the \u201cdrugged\u201d feeling you get from pain killers, you can think that the remedy isn\u2019t working, and that the dentist just hasn\u2019t gotten to your sensitive teeth yet.<\/p>\n<p>But when I got through the whole bottom row without pain, I began to suspect something! And when the whole proceedure was done without any anesthesia, I was convinced that the remedy really worked! But back to sports injuries! With Staphysagria, there is deeper infection than in Calendula, there is more pus and more pain. The wound seems to affect the whole person and not just the local site.<\/p>\n<h3>Bryonia<\/h3>\n<p>Whatever the injury may be, whether it\u2019s a broken bone, (and Bryonia is the #1 remedy for acute fractures), a bruise or a sprain, the reaction of the Bryonia person is always the same: He can\u2019t move. Even the slightest movement causes a sharp pain.<\/p>\n<p>Even breathing might make the pain worse, so he is breathing very shallowly. Firm hard pressure gives him relief, an ace bandage gives relief. He will want the area immobilized. If for some reason Bryonia isn\u2019t helping sufficiently in fractures, go to Eupatorium perf. for severe pain.<\/p>\n<p>Bryonia\u2019s opposite is\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Rhus toxicodendron<\/h3>\n<p>(\u201dRhus tox\u201d for short.) Unlike Bryonia, Rhus tox must move! They cannot sit still! They must stretch, walk about, squirm in their seat. Usually with Rhus tox the injury is a sprain or strain. They feel terrible stiffness, which is relieved by stretching, moving and is worse as soon as they sit for any length of time or lie down. Moving helps them enormously, so does heat and hot bathing and massage.<\/p>\n<h3>Ruta<\/h3>\n<p>Ruta is an awful lot like Rhus tox. Ruta has strains and sprains, an affinity for the tendons, and a feeling of stiffness and is also worse cold and better heat, but Ruta wants to lie down and is better for lying down, which Rhus tox certainly is not; plus, Ruta\u2019s stiffness is extreme; they\u2019ll say it\u2019s like being encased in cement!<\/p>\n<p>Also, what Ruta is famous for is injuries to the shins and other areas that are thinly covered, like the forehead, chin, elbow, cheek bone\u2013the periosteum, in other words.<\/p>\n<h3>Lachesis<\/h3>\n<p>Compound fractures, tremendous Bruising which is Black, or near Black with oozing of dark blood, threatened infection, severe pain, burning pain, worse heat, worse pressure. Do not even think about giving an ace bandage to a Lachesis patient!<\/p>\n<h3>Natrum sulph.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cNat-sulph\u201d is needed for the chronic syndrome following head injury or spinal injury which will almost always include severe Depression.<\/p>\n<p>There may also be amnesia about the event.<\/p>\n<h3>Helleborus<\/h3>\n<p>Following head injury, a slowness or sluggishness, poor Concentration, a lack of comprehension; the patient is in a mental fog; he may have a furrowed brow and a rolling of the head from side to side.<\/p>\n<h3>Apis<\/h3>\n<p>Bee stings, wasp stings. Penetrating wounds that burn and sting as if they were bee or wasp stings.<\/p>\n<h3>Carbo veg.<\/h3>\n<p>The person is passing out from the injury. Also, altitude sickness, when your team is traveling to areas of high altitude.<\/p>\n<h3>Gelsemium<\/h3>\n<p>The little sports player is so nervous, so Anxiety-ridden, before the game that he\u2019s trembly, feeling weak, may have Diarrhea and thinking that he\u2019s \u201ccoming down with something\u201d and not well enough to play.<\/p>\n<h3>Belladonna<\/h3>\n<p>The problem here is the heat. Heatstroke, heat exhaustion. The two back-up remedies for Belladonna in heatstroke are Glonoine and Natrum carb.<\/p>\n<h3>Bellis Perennis<\/h3>\n<p>Bellis is a back-up for Arnica. They are both daisies, but Bellis is a deeper Arnica; it\u2019s for bruised organs. Imagine being kicked in the stomach or hit in the breast! This would be Bellis. There may also be lymph node enlargement after a trauma. Bellis will ask for cold applications and is worse from heat.<\/p>\n<h3>Opium<\/h3>\n<p>After Arnica, Opium is the most common remedy for head injury. The person will have pin-point pupils, will be stuporous and unresponsive. Face will be flushed, bloated, heavy, red, hot with an imbecillic look.<\/p>\n<h3>Ferrum phos.<\/h3>\n<p>Nose bleed of bright red blood.<\/p>\n<h3>Natural Treatment for Joint Pain, Stiffness and Inflammation<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/valuecare.wpgamma.com\/goto\/171\/inflammago\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">InflammaGo<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\nis a safe, non-addictive, FDA-registered natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients selected to relieve pain and stiffness in joints and muscles associated with arthritis.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/valuecare.wpgamma.com\/goto\/171\/inflammago\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">InflammaGo<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\ncan safely maintain joint health and support healthy tissues in the body, without harmful side effects.
