Homeopathic First Aid Remedies

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Since people on Twitter have been talking about avoiding hospitals and treating themselves at home with various things, I decided this morning that I needed to type up the homeopathic first aid remedies.  There are a lot of them and they work extremely effectively and often very fast. It will surprise and amaze you how fast!  

It would be a good idea to buy a Homeopathic First Aid Kit (pictured). This one here from Ainsworths Homeopathic Pharmacy contains lots of remedies.   42 remedies to be precise. Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy also has a first aid kit but with half as many remedies.  The problem is, if you don't have the right remedy in an emergency, it is not much use.  That is why I am recommending the Ainsworth one.

There are so many homeopathic remedies and so many different ones for different illnesses, it can be a bit of a maze to understand, but when it comes to first aid, the remedies needed are usually fairly precise. These are all in my Homeopathy Heals book 

I will list first aid remedies in alphabetical order by condition:-

Homeopathic Remedies for Tooth Extractions

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

One of the most invaluable things you can use after going to the dentist, is homeopathic remedies.  In practically an instant you can get rid of that pain and rest easy after dental work.  Homeopathic remedies can work really fast.  Unlike paracetomol, they don't wear off, where you have to keep taking more.  Once the remedy works, that's it, the pain is gone!

The main remedies you will need to have on standby are the following:  Arnica 30c, Hypericum 30c, Calendula 30c and Ledum 30c.  Remedies should always be stored in a cool, darkened place, away from strong smells such as eucalyptus, camphor, etc.

Please note: if you have an injection to numb your teeth for filling or extraction, make sure you take two Activated Charcoal capsules afterwards in order to remove all the toxicity from the injection, as I am informed these injections are very toxic.  Activated Charcoal can be bought easily in health shops or on Amazon.  They are very useful to have in your medicine cabinet and have been known to help food poisoning and hangovers, among other things!

Arnica 30c (Leopard's Bane)

This is for bruising of the gums after extraction of teeth or new fillings, especially molars.  It is specifically indicated after the removal of Wisdom Teeth.

Hypericum 30c (St. John's Wort)

Hypericum is for the pain you experience after any of your teeth have been extracted.  Hypericum is a nerve remedy and all pain is felt via the nerves.

Calendula Officinalis 30c (Marigold)

People may be surprised to learn that you can actually buy the remedy Calendula in pill form, as they may only know of Calendula cream, available in health shops.  Yes, it comes in pill form as well.

This is a great remedy for two reasons.  It stops the bleeding and it quickly heals up the wound where the tooth has been extracted.  Obviously, in all the above cases, one dose of a remedy will work on the whole mouth, if for example more than one tooth has been taken out.

Ledum 30c (Marsh-Tea)

Ledum is the remedy for puncture wounds, so it can be used when your mouth is still hurting after the dentist gave you that injection to numb your gums before your tooth was taken out.   It can also be used if you had an injection before some deep cleaning with the hygienist.  After the numbness wears off, you may still be experiencing pain at the site of the injection and Ledum will heal and get rid of the pain immediately.

Incidentally, it is a very good idea to take a couple of Charcoal capsules after a numbing injection, as this will clear out of your body all the nasty toxins in it.

Staphysagria 30c (Stavesacre)

This was a very good one for me once when I had root canal work done.  I was in agony afterwards and this remedy got rid of the pain quite speedily.  I had felt rather bullied by the dentist and somewhat overwhelmed by him.  He had made a bad job of it and I was in extreme pain.

I would also not recommend root canal fillings if you can avoid them.  They often trap bacteria for years, which can cause problems in other parts of the body.

Lachesis 6c (Surucucu)

This is a powerful remedy and should only be taken in low potency, such as a 6c.  It is extremely useful for molars, specifically on the left hand side, with the pain occurring in the middle of the night.  I had excruciating pain and inflammation in a top left hand back tooth, and after trying various remedies such as Belladonna, Lachesis cured it promptly.  It happened on Christmas Eve, so I was very lucky to be all better for the next day!
