Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Take more Arnica. One will not have been enough in an acute situation. as a practising registered homeopath I would have prescribed Arnica 30 every 15 mins for an hour and then 3 times a day for a couple of days. Since you started with a 200 I would suggest you take another and assess if there is any more improvement. If there is don't take anymore unless the original problem worsens again.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hi Anne. I twisted my ankle and hurt my foot a couple of years ago. I treated myself with Tumeric Root extract --it's a powerful anti-inflammatory -- and the pain and swelling dramatically decreased within the first day. By the way, I also use it to stimulate my gastric juices. And it serves as a great antioxidant. To top it all off, it doesn't even taste as horrible as many of the extracts tend to. I would even venture to say it is pleasing to my palate. I hope this helps.
