Homeopathy for Arthritis

homeopathic remedies for arthritis and some banerji protocols. rhus tox 200 one of best remedies to help.

 


​Since we are born, we are in constant movement! now wonder why the osteoarticular system in our body is subject to gradual degeneration and needs looking after from time to time. Homeopathy is the best complement for supporting your joints and easing conditions like arthritis.

As we enter through different stages in our life, the strains on this system changes as we age and diseases like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are typical of the older age.

But even along our life, we can encounter a few acute problems that can make you stop daily life for a short period of time! it is not only on the older age that our joints need loving care!

Who has not had a sprain or strain over the years?

These are some problems that we can encounter and the best homeopathic remedies to tackle them!
​

​OSTEOARTHRITIS

​BRYONIA 200
This is for arthritis where the joints are red, hot and swollen.
​
The condition may be very painful with bursting, stitching or very sore pain.

Even the slightest movement brings on the pain, and complete rest of the part makes it better.

This is #1 remedy for arthritis of the knee.

TIP: Bryonia and Rhus-tox are complementary remedies and work really well in alternation or following each other.
​
LEDUM 200
This is an excellent rheumatic remedy affecting the joints. Very painful joints and the small joints tend to be very affected, such as fingers, toes, wrists and ankles.

So you may find painful nodosities on the small joints.

Joints feel so hot at night that you may feel like throwing off the covers in bed.

TIP: This remedy has a particular affinity to the left shoulder and right hip and it tends to beginning in the feet and move upward.

RHUS-TOX 200
This is an excellent top remedy for rheumatic pains and therefore it is one of the first line remedies for the Banerji Protocols.

You will feel very stiff on your joints, as if the skin was too tight. Stitching and tearing pains.

Rheumatic gnawing and desire to move the limbs frequently. At night, you can not rest in any position.

You may feel very restless with the pain.

The joints can feel hot and painful and may crack when you move them.

A very characteristic feature is that you may feel stiffness and more pain on first moving after resting,  like after sitting for a while or getting up in the morning and it feels better after a little bit of you moving around.

Rheumatic pains that come with with the cold, wet weather and damp conditions. So the pain may increase or start when it starts to rain or get worse during autumn.

SYMPHYTUM 200
A good general bone pain remedy when the periosteum is affected.

Pains in the bones.

There is a sensation as if you can feel the rough ends of the bones jagging into the flesh.

BANERJI PROTOCOL TIP
​

The Banerjies use for Osteoarthritis
  • Symphytum 200 twice per day
  • Rhus-tox 30 twice per day

The Banerjies use for Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Bryonia200+Rhus tox 30 twice per day
Picture



​OSTEOSPOROSIS

For osteoporosis, I love this Banerji Protocol which protects and strengthens the bones at the same time.
​
BANERJI PROTOCOL TIP
  • Calcarea Phosphorica 3x twice per day
  • Symphytum 200 twice per day
Picture


​SPRAINS AND STRAINS

ARNICA 200
This is the first remedy to give

RHUS-TOX 30 OR 200 
Parts feel stiff, dislocated sensation, affects the fibrous tissue, ligaments, and joints. Tearing in ligaments, tendons, and fasciae.  

Pain is worst at the beginning of the movement after rest but after a while, it gets better.

The injury may feel better by hot applications or stretching the affected part.

RUTA 200 
Complaints from straining flexor tendons especially.  
Lameness after sprains. 

Affects cartilage, periosteum, and tendons. Nodules in the tendons after sprains.

The pain feels as if bruised, sore and aching.

LEDUM200
Affects the fibrous tissue, especially small joints ( such ankles) but is also great for shoulders or any other joint.

​The skin may look purple,  painful and puffy joints.

Discolouration of the skin remains after pain and inflammation subside. 

Shoulder pain as if rheumatic pain.

TIP: in my experience ( where I have treated injuries in professional futsal players) I have found that in an injury, several different parts are involved and either alternation of two remedies or succession of several remedies are often needed.

For instance, in an sprain ankle you may find that Arnica is needed for the initial trauma and bruising but the person still experiencing pain and stiffness a week after. Rhus-tox gets rid of the stiffness and swelling but the person still complains from pain.

Probably the periosteum or bone are also slightly damaged and Ruta or Symphytum complete the process.
​

Here are some more blogs for different problems with the musculoskeletal system:
  •  Managing injuries with homeopathy
  • Homeopathic remedies for plantar fasciitis. A Banerji Protocol

​

GANGLION CYSTS

RUTA 200
This is the most indicated remedy for ganglion cysts, especially if they are located on the wrist. This remedy covers well nodes deposits in the periosteum, joints or tendons.
Take twice per week for a few weeks until better.

SYMPHYTUM 200
This remedy is also valuable if Ruta fails.
​
BOOK WITH CRISTINA HERE!

​​SCIATICA

COLOCYNTHIS 200
For sciatic pain that is shooting, like lightening down the whole limb. It can feel band like.

The pain can be felt like screwing and it is better by pressure, so you may feel like someone doing a hard massage in the area. Also, hot applications can relieve the pain.

The pain can be felt worse at night in bed and you may find that you can not find a comfortable position in bed.

HYPERICUM 200
This is a great general remedy for nerve pain. Shooting and lancinating pains.

The area may feel sore and you can feel tingling and burning.

GNAPHALIUM200
For sciatica pain along the nerve where it is associated with numbness to the area.
​
Sciatica and lumbago with numbness and pain
​
You may feel that sitting makes it better.
​

BANERJI PROTOCOL TIP
For Sciatica the Banerjies use
  • Rhus-tox30 twice per day+Hypericum 200

Hi Cristina,

Thank you SO much for generously posting these helpful articles. We just wanted to send you some great news. My daughter has had a ganglion cyst on her wrist for several months. When I saw your post I ordered Ruta 200 and gave her the first dose on 7th March. On 20th March she was so surprised to notice that the cyst had gone down and only a soft flat swelling was visible on the wrist (it was obviously being reabsorbed). Today her wrist is completely back to normal. There is no swelling and no hard lump there any more. How incredible! She is so happy. I will try to email you pictures soon. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Great article. You are spot on and use the Banerji protocols effectively. I am trying to find information on Morton's neuroma and can't find a Banerji protocol. Would love to know your thoughts since it is Cystic in nature---but nerve tissue rather than tendon tissue (Ganglion's are outpouchings of the tendon sleeve and allow fluid to push out in a pouchlike nature). I have seen 50% reduction using a load dose of Silica (200C 3x/day for a day) then 9 days of Calc fluor 6x. Since stopping, she has returned to square one. So...going to restart and stay with Calc Fluor longer. Would love your thoughts or a Banerji protocol if you know one. I wonder if Hypericum 200c is indicated due to the nerve tissue...but that would be more for pain rather than shrinking the nerve cell gathering. Is Ruta indicated? (Ruta 6c) THANKS!

Cristina
1/16/2021 07:41:30 pm

If Silica and and Calc fluor worked, then you should continue with this remedies until gone. I do not have a protocol for that, but yes you could use Hypericum 200 twice daily for nerve pain/damage as well. Ruta 200 or Symphytum 200 could also be of value.

Regarding the protocol for Osteoarthritis, how do you space the two remedies twice a day? Five minutes apart or more. Thank you in advance.

Reply
Cristina
7/26/2020 02:28:41 pm

5 minutes in between is enough and the remedies will work but if this is the only two remedies or protocol you are taking, then you can taken further apart. For instance 8:00pm and 12:00 pm, 4:00 pm, 8:pm.

Does it matter where the ganglion cyst is? Wrist vs knee? My 18 year old daughter has a ganglion cyst on her right knee which has been getting larger over the past 6 years.

No, that's ok. You can try that remedy for a couple of months and assess if it is helping then.

Hi,
I’m taking Rhus tox 30 and Symphytum 200c for planter fasciitis and for fibromyalgia. In the Banerji Protocol you mix the two together and take them. No results yet but it’s only been about ten days. I was wondering how I would add the Calc Phos since I mix these others. Can I just add it separately a little later. I have so much wrong I’m just trying to fix what I can. How much do you charge for a Zoom visit? I’m in the US.

The calc phos you need to take separate, not together with the other remedies.

I have fibromyalgia and I can’t use rhus tox like the Banerji protocol says. I have also tried Ruta as a replacement but it also causes me more pain for some reason. Can you tell me another remedy that I can add to symphytum to help with the fibromyalgia? I couldn’t get an appointment until November and I’m in much pain. The Banerji protocol for fibromyalgia is rhus tox and symphytum but as I said above I can’t use rhus tox because it causes pain in other parts of my body and I was told by another famous homeopath to try Ruta but it did the same thing. Can you suggest another remedy now that you are also using the Banerji protocols?

Regina,
I'm not a homeopath.. just someone who has been studying and trying it on everyone I meet. :)

Rhus Tox is better for motion - so, as you walk around the pain starts to feel better.

You mentioned that Rhus Tox makes your pain worse.. so a remedy that would do the opposite is Bryonia - which is worse for motion. You just want to lie still, and not bump anything so it won't hurt.

I did a quick good search "Fibromyalgia Bryonia" and some hits came up, so it may work out for you. Good luck! Pain is awful. :(

The fibromyalgia has pretty much disappeared so maybe it wasn’t fibromyalgia after all. I study a lot about homeopathy myself and rhus tox has always caused me pain even when I knew it was the correct remedy for many applications. Christina is helping me with many things right now and I’m getting some really good results! I just love her!

Thank you for the very informative website, much appreciated!.

I have a question regarding my father-in-law. He's 84, and is crippled from severe osteoporosis. He first fractured his bones about 6 or 7 years ago, and is now very bent over. Is it too late to treat him with Symphytum and Ruta etc now? (He's also got multiple other diseases - atrial fibrillation, skin cancer on his skull, rheumatoid arthritis). Unfortunately he wouldn't dream of consulting a homeopath, but if I give him a remedy he may well take it. I would love it if homeopathy could help him in some way.

Reply
Cristina
8/2/2021 08:57:04 pm

Not at all Maliah! As his condition is very advance there are limitations into what the remedies can do but even if he can get a small relief from them, that is good! Remember that you will need to administer them for at least 3 months before you can assess and the cell salts need to be in 3x trituration in tablet form not globules. All the best!

Hi Christina
Thanks for the wonderful blogs which help me with my patients also.One of my patients suffers from coccydynia.I gave her hekla lava 200 and Hypericum 200 but no relief.Tried colocynth 200 and rhus tox 200 before.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated .

Neetu, just make sure you gave enough time and repeated often enough in order to see if the remedies work or not. That is sometimes part of the confusion.
Otherwise, look at remedies for bone pain in this blog. Bellis Perennis 200 is one think of as well.

I was diagnosed with moderate osteoporosis. How long would i need to take the Banerji protocol of symphytum 200 and calc phos 3x before an improvement in bone density can be expected? Also, can i take calc fluor 12x also along? Or should this be taken separate? Thank you.

Reply
Cristina
12/17/2021 06:11:49 pm

You will need to take it until next scan is performed and see if there is any positive changes there. It can be an increase of bone density or as well it has not deteriorated, both are positive outcomes. You can take the Calc fluor but this is not part of their protocol.
