Homeopathics for post-surgery recovery

-



Do you know Homeopathy can be used to help speed up recovery post surgery?

Many people try to avoid having surgery, but sometimes it's necessary and unavoidable. Often it's the recovery from operations that are worse than the physical procedure itself!

But the good news is Homeopathy can greatly speed up the healing process, help with pain management and reduce the amount of down time usually required.

There are various opinions on whether or not to take Arnica pre-surgery. Arnica can thin the blood a little, and like any anti-coagulants, I recommend not to take excessive amounts of Arnica pre-surgery to avoid any unnecessary bleeding. It DOES reduce bruising and pain however, and I highly recommend it post surgery.

Pre-surgery, I suggest taking just one dose of Arnica 30c on the day of surgery and then resume taking it once able.

Pre-surgery Remedies:

Arnica 30c - once only on morning of surgery

Gelsemium - If nerves or anxiety about the surgery are a problem, Gelsemium can be helpful for anticipatory anxiety, especially if accompanied with diarrhea, headache and trembling.

Aconite - This remedy is indicated when people facing surgery are extremely agitated or panicked, especially if they fear that they will die. A dry mouth, and thirst are other indications for this remedy.

After Surgery:

There’s a few remedies that can help post surgery, depending on the type of surgery and area of the body operated on.


Arnica Montana - This is the number one remedy to take after any surgical procedure to relieve pain, bruising and swelling.


Hypericum - Relieves pain that seems to follow the nerve's path.


Ledum Palustre - Excellent remedy to help relieve bruising and discomfort around wounds from pointed objects.


Phosphorus -This remedy may be helpful if a person has trouble recovering from the effects of anesthesia. Symptoms can including nausea and disorientation. 


Staphysagria - Useful to relieve itching or pain in surgical or clean cut wounds, and warts.


Bellis Perennis - Also known as wound wort - especially useful post surgery on abdominal,  pelvic organs and breasts. Especially if a feeling of stiffness or coldness has developed in the area.


Coffea Cruda - to help alleviate sleeplessness with worries, overactive thoughts, and hypersensitivity to pain.

Cinchona Officinalis - This remedy relieves weakness due to loss of fluids (diarrhea, bleeding and sweating), helpful to relieve gas in the abdomen.

Hamamelis - This remedy can help with passive bleeding if a person's veins are weak, and may also relieve discomfort after surgery on varicose veins and hemorrhoids.

Rhus toxicodendron - to help relieve stiffness, soreness, and restlessness after any surgery. It is particularly useful after operations on tonsils and adenoids, appendectomy, and dental surgery.

Ruta graveolens - for any surgeries involving tendons, connective tissue, cartilage, joints, and coverings of the bones. It can ease discomfort and promote recovery after surgery on knees, wrists, shoulders, elbows, ankles, hips, etc.

Causticum - helps heal painful scars from burns, with thin and fragile skin, especially in elderly patients.

I also recommend drinking lots of water post surgery to help your body eliminate heavy medications and anaesthetics. This helps speed up recovery. Taking a combination 12 cell salt (tissue salt or bioplasma) is another way to replenish much needed minerals in the body.

Suffering in Silence - My Homeopathic approach to Pelvic Organ Prolapse

-
  Pelvic organ prolapse (or POP) affects an estimated 1 in 5 women. Commonly seen in women over 50 - but also increasingly a problem for younger women. Yet pelvic organ prolapse is still one of women's best-kept secrets.  What is a POP?  The protrusion of pelvic organs (uterus, bladder, small intestine, or rectum) into the vaginal wall with symptoms ranging from persistent vaginal pressure to urinary incontinence, faecal leakage, and painful intercourse. The pelvic floor muscles are a ‘sling’ of muscles that support these organs from beneath.  Without proper support - from weak, torn, or damaged fascia, ligaments, or muscles - pelvic organs can bulge down into the vagina, or rectum, and that’s a prolapse. x Suffering in silence  Many women suffer in silence, feeling embarrassed to talk about their prolapse - even to their closest friends and family. They are coping in silence.  Many avoid seeking medical attention because they are uncomfortable speaking about their problem, even t
