Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 As we age, our bones tend to weaken. This weakening is related to a number of factors, including a decline in our ability to produce vitamin D and absorb calcium, as well as a decrease in our levels of sex hormones (which are important to bone health in both men and women). Two homeopathic remedies recommended for fractures are Arnica (pronounced AHR-nih-kuh) and Symphytum (pronounced SIM-fih-tum). These remedies are thought by some practitioners to increase the rate at which bones heal. Warm water may increase the rate of circulation in the area and, thereby, the rate of healing. Alternative treatments for sprains and strains may include the use of nutritional supplements, such as vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Certain herbs are recommended to reduce inflammation in a damaged area. These herbs include bromelain, turmeric, Arnica, Ruta, and Rhus toxicodendron. Calc. phos.Calc. phos. is to be used in the homeopathic treatment of fractures, the two main bone minerals are calcium and phosphorus - these two are essential for building up healthy bones and must be present in abundant quantities within the body during recovery from fractures. The daily use of Calc. phos. must be carried out, till such times as complete healing and recovery occurs in the bones - continue treatment till the bone has properly knitted and do not stop until full recovery is achieved. In people who are prone to fractures because of weak or brittle bones - Calc. phos. supplementation may bring about bone strengthening and rigidity. Suzi List Owner What is a weed?
