If you are faced with the prospect of surgery, you will be eager to get yourself back to form in as short as time as possible. While there is no substitute for the rest which you will certainly require, homeopathic remedies will speed the healing process very effectively as well as helping with the emotional responses too.
Emotions before the event
Homeopathic remedies can really help with the emotions that can be experienced prior to surgery. If you’re feeling apprehensive, trembly and weak, consider taking Gelsemium to steady yourself. If it’s panic you’re feeling and you’re scared you might die, no matter how risky or how routine the surgery is, reach instead for Aconite. Try taking one dose of the more appropriate remedy the night before your procedure, another on waking and a third nearer to the time of the appointment.
Good old Arnica
Arnica is the number one remedy to take pre-surgery. It helps to minimise both trauma to the body and also bleeding. It should be given at least twice afterwards, with something like an hour interval between the doses. It can be given for longer periods but that depends completely on the nature of the surgery and the toll it has taken on the body.
Next week we’ll take a look at remedies for recovery from specific procedures.
