ARNICA 30,200 HOMEOPATHY USES

How long does it take for Arnica to work on bruises

A lot of my patients are active people that enjoy physical exercise and all of them know the benefit of using Arnica for injury and swelling. I would like to show you the many homeopathic uses of Arnica 30 and 200 in everyday life! As you may know, one of the most well known uses of Arnica is for bruises. It only takes a few doses to see the changes and repeated use will help to clear them!

​Having treated many players at a professional Futsal team, I have gathered considerable experience in treating sports injuries and athletes so I have decided to write this small blog to assist with self-help in choosing the most basic homeopathic remedies for any type of sprains and strains, whether caused by accident, contact sports or even gardening! 

In my experience, there is usually a sequence of remedies. From the first day of the injury symptoms may quickly change, even in a matter of days only.

Sometimes, a remedy will work a day to alleviate a set of symptoms but will stop working the other day even if the potency is raised. It is that time that a complementary or related remedy will continue and progress with recovery where the other had left off.

I guess all of these remedies are needed to provide relief because different set of systems are involved in an injury, ligaments, muscles, periosteum, nerve pain, shock, swelling, inflammation, etc

PREVENTING FATIGUE IN ENDURANCE SPORTS

Arnica 30: this is the most effective way to help fatigue in strenuous or endurance events such a running a marathon or playing a tournament.

The remedy has no side effects and does not contravene any rules for the use of drugs in sport. If the remedy is taken just before an event, it will help to maintain stamina through the demanding times for the duration of it.


Dosage: take 1 dose of Arnica 30 just before the start of the event and it can be taken  every 1 hour after again if needed and repeat for a few doses.

​For those that time would not allow them to stop, one pill can be put in a half a small bottle of water and a sip can be taken on the go. If the event is all day long with brakes, take one pill 3 times per day spaced out.

​RECOVERY AFTER A MARATHON, TOURNAMENT OR VERY STRENUOUS WORKOUT-MUSCLE FATIGUE

Arnica 30/200c taken 3 times per day for 2-3 days, depending on the severity of the symptoms.
​

INJURIES TRAUMA AND BRUISING

The first remedy to think of is always Arnica!

Arnica 200: Trauma of all varieties, mental or physical. First remedy after an injury.

​Give Arnica first and then assess reaction and see if other remedies are needed. 


Arnica 200: will help with all kind of bruises after an injury. Take every 3 hours if symptoms are very intense or 3 times per day for a few days or a week.

Bellis-perennis 200: it can be useful if Arnica has not been able to help much or to follow after Arnica if there is still a lump in the area where there has been a blow.

Natrum-sulph 200: headaches that remain after a head injury.

Bryonia 200: pain after an injury that is worst for any movement. The person can not move the affected part because of the pain. 
​

Hypericum 200: pain from injuries to parts rich in nerves, especially fingers, toes or nails. Injuries to the spinal cord and coxis.

​INJURIES TO THE SHOULDER

Arnica 200 always first to address the trauma.

Bryonia 200: if unable to move the arm, any movement is extremely painful. The joint may feel dry.

Ferrum metallicum 200: especially suited for left-sided tears although may be used in right side ones as well.

The pain extends to the deltoid region and it feels better by moving the arm. Also suited for frozen shoulder.

How long does it take for a difference in discomfort after the emery has started? In other words how can I assess if the remedy is working or not working?

That is an important question, assessing what the remedies do. It just depends on the condition, if it is chronic and acute and the problem in question. For instance if there is a concussion with lots of swelling, you will expect to see an improvement with in 48 hours, even if it is little. If for instance it is an old injury or bone healing, then you will need to give the protocol or remedies at least 6 weeks to properly assess changes. But even a 10% improvement is good to start with, if this is the case, you can continue a bit longer.

Hola Cristina!
Como seria la frecuencia de Rhus Tox con un dolor de cuello que ya paso a ser crónico? ( se siente rígido y como que hay algo dislocado también. Provoca moverlo para sentirse mejor)
Recomendarías 30 o 200?
Muchas gracias ♡

I am afraid I can not give individual recommendations but Mag Phos and Cuprum met are very helpful remedy for general cramps.

My daughter has a concussion and headaches and visual snow (pixels). She sees the world as if through pixels. Anything you would recommend? Thank you

Hello Wendy,

If your daughter had a concussion and she is experiencing neurological symptoms, I advice working with a homeoapath. This rather complex for a beginner.
I hope your daughter gets better soon!

What dose arnica do you advise for old injuries and bruises. Some black marks are left by these old injuries.

A 200c is a good potency for that.

Recently a family member received an injury from a baseball hitting their ankle, creating bruising, swelling and broken skin. Now it is after the fact, but I believe I would have used topical calendula and Arnica 200. I have not seen information concerning bruising together with broken skin. Do you have any thoughts for me? Thank you so very much.

Yes, you could use Calendula topical and Arnica 200 by mouth even if the skin is broken, that is not a problem at all. I think what you may have read is about the use of Arnica topically with broken skin but not in potency.
