Great Injury Remedy
  Nobody can refuse the statement ‘Arnica’ is a boon to Homoeopathy. It gives miraculous immediate cures in traumas. It is best remedy to rejunuvte the blood circulation in contused parts. It gives cure for old injuries also. We must have Arnica in our First Aid box. I cured many small to big accidental injuries with one or two doses of Arnica 30 and 200 itself. It also subsides the delirium stage of head injuries with bruised pain.

Traumatic Arthritis
Dr.M.E.Abdul Razak,Kochi
   
A lady aged 30 yrs was suffering from Chronic Traumatic Arthritis, with Tennis Elbow since two years, following an injury 6 years back, with severe pain and the characteristic, Fear of another person getting too close to her, or even a footstep worse makes her crying loudly. Pain < light touch, or rest. According to these symptoms I prescribed her Arnica 1M two times a day for two weeks followed with Placebo. All her symptoms disappeared within a month, and her Tennis Elbow also cured!

Epilepsy
  A boy aged 10 developed Epileptic attack all of a sudden, for which the parents could not attribute any reason. The boy was brought under homeopathic treatment and during the anecdotal recording it was found that the boy was hit with a Cricket ball while playing some 3 years ago and since there was no external injury, except ICE rubbing no treatment was given. Now, recently the
boy gets some blurring sensation of eyes often and twice felt the epileptic attack for a few seconds before sleeping. The boy was given Arnica 200 and Nat. Sulph. 12X alternatively for a week and gradually increased the potency of Arnica once a week and once a month. Now he is alright and not getting any attack.

Fever in Malignancy
Dr.Priyadarshi Dash BHMS, Budharaja-Sambalpur
A patient aged about 65 years was brought to my clinic with a bunch of reports. The report said that the patient was suffering from metaplasia of liver. The patient was semi conscious, anaemic, and febrile. Liver enlarged, appetite was poor . His attenders had been told that that the patient will survive a maximum
7-15 days. By looking at that patient and taking herhistory from her relative,I
 
prescribed Arnica 200 to the patient. Surprisingly the temperature came down gradually.There was no pain until his last breath, which was extended further by four more months.

Haematoma
Dr.Murali Ravikanti – Karim Nagar, AP
I was called to see a lady of 86 yrs who fell down in bathroom following vertigo.She had an injury in the occipital part of head. When I visited her, I saw a huge haematoma -on her head and it was around 6-8 inches in size. They already visited an allopath for Surgical intervention which was refused considering the history of Diabetes and cardiac insufficiency. Swelling was very firm & painful.Considering trauma, I gaveher Arnica in 30 potency to be taken
every hour for 1day.Next day the pain was completely relieved, swelling softened & reduced in size. She was asked to continue Arnica thrice daily for another week. The swelling gradually reduced and was relieved from pain.
