Homeopathy Science Based Medicine Healing Wounds “A Law speaks of a recurrent pattern that exists in Nature.” Presentation provided by Debby Bruck, founder Homeopathy World Community

Cold water is not only serviceable in stopping the bleeding and cleansing the wound, but also in healing it afterwards. 

Put on a compress of linen, and dip it frequently in cold water—particularly when there is swelling, redness and pain.

Or take lint, dip it in water, and cover the wound with  it; put over this some oiled silk or gutta-percha tissue, or where these can  not be obtained, paper that has been saturated with warm wax, or thick  oiled paper may be used, and tie a cloth over it to keep the adjacent parts dry. http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=431500 http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=431723

Ulcer - an open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane that fails to heal. As the heat abates and the wound heals, renew it less frequently, and when the heat is gone, discontinue it altogether. All wounds which suppurate badly, are to lie treated as ulcers—of which more will be said hereafter. 

Calendula is applied to the skin to reduce pain and swelling (inflammation) and to treat poorly healing wounds and leg ulcers. Wounds of this kind must not be treated with  cold, but with warm water dressings; 20 or 30 drops of tincture of Calendula put into half a cup of water, and the lint soaked with this solution, is best. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/235.html

Laceration - a deep cut or tear, jagged wound, esp. in skin; a gash. All lacerated wounds, and others which cannot be accurately united, must be drawn together and treated with cold water, unless they suppurate. Laceration - a deep cut or tear, jagged wound, esp. in skin; a gash.

Non fleshy areas of the body To all wounds over a bone, on the knee, the breast-bone, the elbow, finger joints or the knee, the shin-bone, the ankle, apply nothing but cold water without any tight bandage—unless in the beginning, to stop the bleeding, you may make use of pressure; afterwards merely tie something over the wound to keep out the air, particles of dust, etc. 

Bone Fractures All other applications are  injurious, as they produce ulcers, which may sometimes eat into the bone. The remedies recommended for fractures, may, likewise, be applied externally in a diluted state.

Homeopathic medicines are made from plants, minerals, metals, salts and animal products. They are usually diluted beyond Avogadro’s number so that there is no chance of toxicity. They are deep-acting energetic medicines that are prepared systematically to reduce side-effects and treat at the deepest levels.

Single Remedies Given By selecting in every case the suitable remedies, the cure  will be considerably accelerated. As soon as the patient is at rest, give him one of the remedies prescribed for wounds. 

Fever, Restless, & Dryness If, after such a medicine, the  fever increases and is attended with dryness of the skin and great restlessness, give Aconite;

but if the restlessness is accompanied by great excitement, Coffea; Coffee but if the restlessness is accompanied by great excitement, Coffea; 

Similia Similibus Curentur For example, drinking too much coffee can cause sleeplessness and agitation, so according to this principle, when made into a homeopathic medicine, it could be used to treat people with these same symptoms.

should the patient have lost much blood, give Cinchona; Malarial Cases: The China patient grows increasingly sensitive to touch, to motion, to cold air, so that he is chilled from exposure. The pains are brought on by exposure to the wind, by cold air, and are increased by motion and touch. This patient bleeds easily; bleeds from any orifice of the body from the nose, from the throat, from the uterus. And after hemorrhage complaints come on.

Frequency but  if no great improvement takes place within six, eight or twelve hours, administer one of the following remedies:

Apis Honey bee Apis, if punctured wounds become red, very sensitive to the touch; particularly if the pain is burning, piercing, continuous, and if the redness spreads like erysipelas. 

The Law of Similars This concept is sometimes used in conventional medicine, for example, the stimulant Ritalin is used to treat patients with ADHD, or small doses of allergens such as pollen are sometimes used to desensitize allergic patients.

Arsenicum and Rhus tox If the redness runs down the inside of the arms or  legs in interrupted stripes, Rhus is better, and afterwards Arsenicum.
