If you’ve heard anything about homeopathy it’s probably its most known remedy and export, Arnica montana. Many topical creams contain it but did you know when you take in homeopathic preparation, the results can be dramatic?
Example: A couple of years ago I dislocated my right ring finger (as in 90 degree angle in the wrong direction) in a volleyball game. Luckily, two things were present at the time: one of my teammates was a orthopedic surgeon so she reset it right there on the court and two, I had Arnica montana (200C strength on hand). I took 4 doses that day, and 2-3/day for the next week and this is what happened:
Day one of injury, just got back from volleyball.
The next day (2): BRUISING
Dislocated finger day two: bruising all over
Day 3: swelling and bruising way down.
Keep in mind how quick that is- the second day after the night of the dislocation, the bruising is on the way out.
Day three: still swollen but bruising way down.
I should have continued taking pictures but suffice to say, with a little tape on it the next week, I was able to play volleyball.
A new study has just been published that writes, ‘Cumulative evidence suggests that Arnica montana may represent a valid alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, at least when treating some specific conditions.’ I’d say so!
