If we had a dollar for every time we’ve given, recommended or taken Arnica for a bruise, bump, car accident, shock, etc…or Hypericum for every nerve injury, smashed finger, whiplash, tailbone injury, etc…we’d be RICH!! We have countless stories from people using these remedies for home care and many times, avoiding emergency room and other costly doctor visits. Here are two intriguing stories:
Hypericum perfoliatum
“When my son was 8 months old, his father set him on the kitchen counter with his ‘behind’ as far back as possible to the wall, to ensure his safety. Well, my husband stepped to the side to grab an apple to prepare for him and the baby dove HEAD FIRST off the counter onto our Pergo floor!! Oh, my goodness, we were frantic. My husband had the rightness of mind to get the Arnica 30 C (which he had just dissolved in water the day before after slamming his shin into the new trailer hitch on the back of our car!) and held it under the baby’s nose. The color started to return in his face and he started laughing. A few minutes later, he began to get pale again and drowsy looking so we quickly succussed the bottle and let him sniff it again. This happened a few more times, but each time we were able to go longer between doses. After the 5 dose of Arnica, we gave him a dose of Hypericum 30 C since it is a great remedy for injuries to the spinal column (that includes concussions!). We saw further improvement after a few more doses of each remedy over the next 24 hours and by the 2nd day, there was no bruising and certainly no evidence trauma to the head! Phew!!!” – EC, Durham, NC

“All of the sudden, a car speeding from the right crashed into a car 20 feet in front of me! I was in shock from the
Arnica montana
sheer violence of the event I had just witnessed. Since I always travel with my homeopathic remedy kit in my car, I quickly got it out and took a pellet of Arnica 30 C (by the way, for pure mental shock, Aconite is another highly indicated remedy). Immediately I started to feel calm and able to process what I had just seen. In about 30 seconds, I was able to peel myself off my seat and get out of my car. I took my kit and went to survey the damage.
“The first victim I saw, a man, was up and out of his car. I told him I was a homeopath and could offer him some help. He refused and insisted he was fine, he didn’t need anything. So I moved on to the next car (it is useful to note this reaction, “I don’t need any help,” when coming from someone in an accident or with an injury, IS a symptom of Arnica!!). The other car had spun into the gully on the side of road. She had been thrown out of her car and was nearly unconscious. Climbing down there as best I could, I quickly stuck a pellet of Arnica under her tongue and waited. In about 10 seconds, she started moving her hands and shortly there after she opened her eyes and was looking around. Just then, several other people ran down to the gully so I backed off, leaving her in their hands and the hands of God.
“After a police report, I left the accident knowing that I had fulfilled my duty to stop and offer whatever help I could to the injured parties at the accident site. I went on with my and repeated the Arnica one more time and then followed up with a dose of Ignatia amara 30C as I found myself weeping hysterically several hours later.
“One year later I received a phone call from a woman saying, ‘You don’t know me. I looked your name up from the police report. I was on my way to work, then the next thing I remember was going down a tunnel towards the light. Suddenly, I was pulled back, knowing it wasn’t my time- I had to wake up. I opened my eyes and saw a lady with red hair standing over me. Do you have any idea what I am talking about?’ I was speechless. I talked with her a few more minutes and then we hung up. I was so pleased to hear that she had only ended up with some contusions and sprains but no serious injuries and certainly, her head trauma seemed minimal compared to the impact of crashing into the ditch and being flung from the car onto the ground. Above all, she did not die from shock, which is the reason why Arnica should always be given (or taken) after a serious injury. I love homeopathy and practiced professionally for 15 years. This is still my favorite homeopathy story.”

my tooth #22 said to need root canal, but might break, since my tooth crack/decay is at the gum line…small patch…tooth not hurting or abcess yet, trying to heal to patch, just needs cavity, but decay..HELP
My older brother was in a car accident in 1988 and had really bad whip lash that had basically ruined his life since. He has never been well since that day, has constant headaches misses work has depression because of it his ankles are giving out on him and he can’t do hot yoga anymore he’s trying to fix himself ballistically but keeps failing. Any suggestions?
I broke my #6 molar and it has a pretty good size hole in it now. I went to the dentist for the horrible pain it has been causing me. They said I needed a root canal and crown or they could pull it. Those were my only options. I don’t have dental insurance and paying out of pocket for these procedures is out of my mean’s right now. Is there anything anyone cold recommend to make the pain stop and healing begin? I want something natural because I’ve taken so much ibuprofen lately I don’t want to cause problems in my stomach.
Thank you!
My elderly cat fell off the bed and was dragging her hind leg/foot. Her foot would turn under (foot was cold). I’ve been giving her Arnica 30c, started with pills first day, diluted 4 in spring water second day. Third day she reinjured the leg. I’m back to a full pill am and a second in the afternoon.
Can I give her 3 full pills a day?
Can I give her Hypericum with the Arnica?
Is hypericum the same pill/pellet form as arnica or how do I give it to her.
Really need your help (I also have Fibromyalgia so I’m not physically able to do what most people can!)
Good news..she is showing signs of improvement! I’ll try the Hypericum tomorrow. Thanks so VERY much for your help. You have given me hope and my kitty relief.
