It is a good idea to keep these remedies on hand for whatever might occur, but always remember that homeopathy is not a replacement for emergency medical care when it is needed. In non-life threatening situations homeopathic remedies can speed healing, relieve symptoms, and ease pain. There are some remedies known to work well for certain conditions regardless of the emotional or constitutional make-up of the person, and this applies to the follwing discussion Arnica Montana is always a first choice when a minor injury has occurred. Arnica can help speed the healing of bruising, whether it has occurred due to minor blows to the body or through medical and dental surgery. If taken a few days ahead of time, it can help the body get a head start on healing surgical procedures.
Arnica is available in the globules or pellets to be taken under the tongue.
Choose a 30th potency a few days before and after surgery. A 30th potency can be used for about a week but should never be taken continuously for long periods. If the injury is sudden and a bit severe, use a 200th for one to two days to help the body recover. Arnica is also available in creams and gels for surface healing of bruised and sore areas. If there has been deep tissue injury, or major surgical work, particularly to the abdominal area, Bellis Perennis is a good choice used in to same potencies as discussed above.
