Case Scenarios

Case 1 - John, 26 years old, playing in his local football team is involved in a nasty tackle. As a result, his right ankle is sprained, swells very quickly and is very stiff. It feels worse at night and worse when he is cold and is better when he applies a hot towel to it. It's bruised and he tells us that it feels sore.
He's very restless, cannot settle in any position and feels better when he's stretching and moving about.

John may benefit in this situation from a variety of remedies including RHUS TOXICENDRUM. Arnica is another remedy useful in this situation for the bruising and soreness.

Case 2 - Marie is 34 years old, a mother of two and works part-time as an accountant. She has come to us complaining of an awful flu. She aches all over, feels very hot and feels worse when she has to move at all. She is 'chesty' and is very thirsty, wanting cold drinks. Her cough makes her head hurt. She feels better when left alone and is quiet in a dark room. She is very worried about missing work and is quite irritable and anxious.

Marie may benefit from several remedies including Bryonia. Her homeopath would be able to specifiy exactly which remedy would fit her best in this instance.

Case 3 - Sarah is 12 years old and was accidently hit by a ball whilst playing hockey. The ball hit her on the leg. A very nasty bruise has developed and her leg feels very sore.

Arnica Montana would help relieve the pain of the bruise.

Case 4 - Debbie, 41 years old, has had digestive problems for several months. She feels very bloated, is more irritable than usual and has been suffering from a weakened memory. Her clothes feel annoying tight around her middle and she's suffering from indigestion on a daily basis especially in the late afternoon and early evening. Her husband tells us that she is irritable especially in the morning and very impatient. She's been shouting a lot especially at the children.

In this situation, Debbie should consult a professional homeopath.

Case 5 - Bob is a retired author. He comes to us suffering from hiccoughs every time he eats. He's tried holding his breath, eating slower but nothing seems to work. He tells us that his wife died last year but he tries to keep busy and feels better taking a brisk walk every day.

IGNATIA is amongst some of the remedies that may help Bob.
