Arnica

It is an excellent idea to use Arnica both before and after surgery. I call this remedy the ‘homeopathic exception’ because it is one that works for almost every person for the same condition (this is contrary to how homeopathy generally works in that a remedy needs to be prescribed on an individual basis).

It works to reduce inflammation and speed healing which in turn helps to relieve some of the pain associated with surgery. It has a particular action on soft tissue and is well known as a remedy for bruising. Many sportsmen keep it in their kitbags for knocks and scrapes on the sports field. It is also available as a topical ointment or massage oil for sprains.

Most doctors are aware of this remedy and in my experience, regardless of their understanding of homeopathy, agree that it is very helpful.

Homeopathic remedies are prepared to an extremely dilute potency and there is no risk of an interaction with anaesthesia or other medications.

A good surgical protocol would be as follows:
Arnica 200c the day before surgery.
Arnica 200c just before surgery and just after.
Arnica 200c 3 x daily for 2 – 5 days as needed.
It is always best to consult with a homeopath before taking any remedies and of course, make your surgeon aware of any remedies you are taking.
