Surgery is an invasive intervention in a patient’s body. It is performed by a surgeon. The reason for surgery varies from an injury, aesthetic surgery or other reasons. The condition post-surgery is affected by both the success of the surgery itself and by post-operative care.
Homeopathic remedies have a lot to offer in helping your recovery from surgical procedures.
Homeopathic medicines can reduce complications of surgery and augment healing so that people can recover more quickly afterward. These are the following remedies:
Arnica montana
This remedy relieves pain, bruising and swelling associated with trauma, surgery or overexertion.
Bellis perennis
This remedy is useful when bruising and trauma occur to deep internal tissues after surgery involving the abdomen, breasts, or trunk—especially if a feeling of stiffness or coldness has developed in the area.
Hypericum perforatum
This remedy relieves pain that seems to follow the nerve’s path. Hypericum is amazing for hastening the healing of wounds, helping to prevent infection and healing the nerves.
Ledum palustre
Ledum palustre relieves bruising around wounds from pointed objects.
Phosphorus
This remedy may be helpful if a person has trouble recovering from the effects of anesthesia. Symptoms can include disorientation, stupor, weakness, nausea and vomiting. The person may be thirsty but often vomits after drinking.
Staphysagria
This remedy relieves itching or pain in surgical or clean-cut wounds, and warts.
