Pain Free with Homeopathy

Homeopathic remedies are safe for young and old. The do not interfere with medications and they are NOT addicting. Choosing what works is the key. The key to that is looking at symptoms when we speak of painful conditions. Here is a synopsis of some great remedies for pain.

Arnica Montana

Arnica Montana is the most well known homeopathic pain medicine. It is fantastic for muscle inflammation of all kinds. You can take Arnica orally or apply directly to a sore area. Even John Wayne recommended Arnica in the Movie "McClintock"

Ledum  is for stabbing pain. It may feel like a knife is going into you. It is also a great remedy for puncture wounds. It has been used for tetanus as well.

Rhus  Tox is for muscle pain that improves with movement. This often works for arthritis that has the characteristic of feeling stiff in the morning but gets better as you move around during your day.

Bryonia  is for pain that is worse from movement. Changing position, walking, coughing, turning. The pain is often in the low back. Bryonia is well known for helping with digestive disorders as well. It helps with dry painful stool or hard dry cough. Often the person or animal that needs Bryonia is  thirsty.  Another painful condition that Bryonia works amazingly well for is horses that founder. Founder is a lameness in horses that has a root cause of digestive problems causing the horses foot to swell.

Dulcamara  pain has stiffness and chills often felt in the back. It often occurs during cold damp weather, especially if the person gets wet and chilled. This pain is usually worse from bending over.

Hypericum Perforatum is great for nerve pain of all kinds. It is arnica for the nerves. I have used it for toothaches, neuralgia, repair of nerves after surgery, etc. If you have a condition where the nerves are affected try Hypericum. I have seen the severe tremors of Parkinson's disappear with the use of Hypericum. If you have any kind of shooting pain or pain that is worse than it looks like it should be try Hypericum for it. From injuries to neuralgia to brain injury. It also has the side effect of helping anxiety and depression! It is made from the St. John's Wort plant, an herb well known for depression.

Aesculus is helpful for pain in the low back when standing up from the sitting position. The sacrum is often effected. Well known for helping with the pain of hemorrhoids.

Magnesium Phosphoricum or Mag Phos is a great remedy for muscle cramps of all kinds. It is even helpful with menstrual cramps. It also helps stabbing headaches.

These are just a few of many remedies that may be used for pain. The symptoms I describe are mainly the physical ones. It is interesting to look at entire "picture" of a remedy and see the mental, physical and constitutional areas of remedies that are available.
