Healing Broken Bones with Homeopathy

The healing of fractured Bones

Broken or fractured bones need immediate medical attention to ensure that the bone is properly set. But whilst you are waiting for this to happen you can take the remedy Arnica (at 30c or 200c) to help with the immediate shock, pain and bruising. This can be taken frequently after the accident, every 30 minutes if necessary.

Once the bone has been properly set, Homeopathy has two other brilliant remedies to assist healing.

Calc Phos

Calcium and Phosphorus are the two main minerals needed for building healthy bones so this remedy is well indicated for speeding up the healing process following a fracture. You can start taking it, on a daily basis, as soon as the broken bone has been properly knit. 

Additionally, for people who have weak or brittle bones, and are prone to fracture, this remedy is also useful as a preventative measure.

Symphytum.

A remedy made from the herb, Comfrey, which was once more commonly known as Knitbone. As the old name implies, it has been known for centuries that this can be helpful in fractures, or broken bones. What a pity this ancient knowledge has been forgotten by conventional medicine!

Symphytum 30c can be used daily for two to three weeks after the bone has been set, as an alternative to Calc Phos.

But I am also aware that some people have alternated the two remedies rather than taking just one.

Lots have people have been surprised at the speed that their bones heal, often up to 1/3rd of the estimated time they are given by the hospital.

Do you remember that David Beckham nearly missed playing in the World Cup because he broke a metatarsal in his foot some weeks before the competition started. He was considered 'doubtful'. But he played in England's first game - because he took one of these remedies (I believe Symphytum).

Trapped Fingers: a rapid cure with Homeopathy

It was a lovely day, with 5 of our grandchildren (aged 6,6,5,4,and 3) playing in the house. The play got more boisterous and excited. A door was slammed. A short delay. Then a shriek of pain. The 3 year old, who was joining in, and having a lovely time, had trapped his fingers. His mum held him, and ran his fingers under cold water. I fetched an Arnica 30c, and popped it in his mouth. He would not show his hand, it was too painful, and so it was wrapped in a cold flannel.

Within minutes of taking the Arnica, his crying reduced, and his breathing got back to normal. I remembered that Hypericum was a remedy that was good for trapped fingers and gave him one. Five minutes later, he was calmer, and sleepy. We were concerned that he may have broken his fingers, but it seemed better that he should rest. Before he dropped off I gave him another Arnica. He slept quietly for about 2 hours.

When he woke, he was happy to let us see his hand. His fingers were a little swollen, and the bruising was there, plain to see. But he seemed okay. Soon, he wanted to get down, and he sat on and rode a toy fire engine.  He gripped the steering wheel with both hands. No broken fingers, just a little boy playing, almost as if he had not trapped his fingers.

Sometimes, Homeopaths can get blasé about the power of Homeopathy. At times like this it shows us just how remarkable it can be.
