Homeopathy and Concussion

by Mary Aspinwall on February 11, 2013 in First Aid Facts, Get Relief From...

Just today I got this great tip in an e mail from Motocross Mom Pamela Jeffery that I wanted to share with you all:

“My boys aged 21, 19 and 16 all race motocross. I’ve been using natural remedies for the past 12 years and have found cayenne pepper dabbed on their tongue after a crash will pull them out of shock and trauma.

Call me crazy, but it has alleviated the signs of concussions as well. I also use Arnica along with the pepper. My 21 year old just came home with a puncture wound to his stomach … Read the rest...

Homeopathy and First Aid

by Mary Aspinwall on August 18, 2011 in First Aid Facts, In a Nutshell

Using Homeopathy for a First aid situation is usually very easy, because nearly all of us react in a very similar way to injuries.

For this reason it is often possible to say for injury “A” homeopathic medicine “B” will be of help and greatly reduce your discomfort and healing time. It’s very easy to spot a “SNAP”…

Allison in Arnica Land

She was a generally fit woman with two very young daughters, but was ringing me from her local hospital where a lumbar puncture test had just revealed she had had a brain bleed, due to an aneurysm. I offered some homeopathic advice and told her to keep in touch. After a long silence, … Read the rest...

by Mary Aspinwall on August 6, 2011 in First Aid Facts, Get Relief From...

If you are new to Homeopathy try Arnica 30c or 200c for any of these everyday challenges. You will be amazed at what it can do. Arnica is the #1 best selling homeopathic remedy in the world and has convinced millions of people that homeopathy works.

Physical shock and trauma

Especially helpful after the classic shock response after an accident or severe emotional upset. The person insists, “I’m fine, really. Leave me alone.” When they clearly aren’t … Read the rest...
