For Jent - Old injury (was arnica cream vs pills

[Guest guest]

Hi Jent,

 

I would use these homeopathic remedies for an old injury like that:

Arnica, Rhus Tox (for nerve pain/damage) and Mag Phos for pain in the

extremities. These are the ones I have used for an old shoulder injury I

had and they worked extremely well.

 

Go to http://abchomeopathy.com/ to learn more about homeopathy and these

remedies in particular to make sure they are the right ones for you. It

won't " hurt " you if you take the wrong remedy but you won't get the

results you are going for.

 

Remember that when taking homeopathic remedies you *must* avoid coffee,

mint and other strong flavors. For instance, it will do no good to take

your remedy and then go brush your teeth and use strong mouthwash... to

do so will antidote the remedy and make it ineffective. So make sure you

have clean/dry mouth (no drink, food or cigs) 15-30 minutes before

taking a remedy and for 15-30 minutes after.

 

Personally, coffee antidotes ALL my homeopathy no matter how long it was

since I took the remedy. I found that out the hard way too. I had

given up all coffee (and caffeine) years and years ago and had been

doing really really great as far as controlling my FMS pain and symptoms

- I was practically symptom free for months on end using nothing more

than those 3 remedies I mentioned and the arnica gel. Then one morning I

ate at the local truck stop... and what does one eat at a truck stop but

biscuits with gravy and a big cup of coffee? lol... I thought " oh one

cup isn't gonna kill me " so I gave into the craving and had the coffee.

It tasted sooooo good!!! But within 2-3 days, ALL my aches and pains

and sciatica and fibro-flares returned and I had to start over with my

remedies. I don't care how yummy that coffee was, it certainly wasn't

worth the constant all-over pain.

 

So to sum that up, personally I have found that coffee - no matter if

taken at different times of the day than the remedy or not - will

antidote homeopathy and therefore should be avoided at all times. I

don't know anyone that has treated a chronic condition homeopathically

that got better while they were still consuming coffee on a daily

basis. Coffee is an addictive drug and really should be eliminated from

the diet if one is seeking healing.

 

I'm not sure if it was on this list or not but I recently saw a comment

that one should remove all wheat from the diet *before* starting

homeopathic treatments. I disagree. I haven't ever seen any mention of

that in of my text books or online studies. I have had positively

incredible results from homeopathy but have never even tried to

eliminate the wheat in my diet. Unless you have an celiac dis-ease or

an actual allergy or intolerance to wheat, it's inclusion in your diet

shouldn't affect whether homeopathy works for you or not. Coffee most

definitely will, but wheat? No, I seriously doubt it. (If anyone here

does have an intolerance to wheat, see a homeopathic doctor or go the

site I mentioned and find the remedy for you symptoms.)

 

Oh yea, another thing I did for my shoulder was deep muscle body work in

combination with Reiki and aromatherapy. I went into that session with

the intention of releasing that old injury and pain and to remove the

memory of it from my muscles. And it worked - after suffering with that

pain for 20 years, it is completely gone now and I consider the area

healed. What area are you located? If you don't know a good massage

therapist I may be able to hook you up with on - depending on where you

are of course. ;-)

 

Hope this helps. Please let us know what you end up trying and how it

works for you.

 

Peace,

 

Mouse

useful for " old " injuries that don't really involve bruising any longer? I have

an elbow and forearm which gets a bit sore at times. The forearm seems to be

fascia and tendon related (repetitive motion injury), and some of all of the

elbow pain may be related to that, as well (since they tend to get sore at the

same times).

several hours of relief. Is this something I could use long term to help

actually HEAL this old injury, or is this just relieving some of the pain and

related issues of the day? Obviously I'm wanting to actually heal what I can,

rather than just " bandaid " it -- but if " bandaid " is the best I can get at this

point, I'd like the " bandaid " to be the most helpful and least harmful!
