Specific remedies for joint and muscle pain
Joint pain is anything but amusing. If you suffer from it yourself, you know what I mean.
For many of us, joint pain has almost become part of everyday life, either due to age and wear and tear or following an injury or illness.
And you almost certainly expect these pains to accompany you into old age.
Which does not necessarily have to be the case.
Whether you suffer the pain and joint stiffness of arthritis or experience muscle and joint aches from overexertion, I would like to introduce a selection of specific homeopathic remedies here that can help in these cases.
When these remedies are given in low potencies – as I recommend here – they may and should be taken at short intervals until improvement occurs. Once the pain eases, they are taken at longer intervals. A dose every 15 minutes is not unusual.
Bryonia C6
Have you ever had joint pain that left you with only one choice: remain completely immobile or scream in pain? If one has never had to endure such pain, it may be hard to appreciate how the slightest movement can trigger the fiercest pain.
Bryonia can help! In these cases it brings relief. Also for pains that improve when the affected area is pressed.
Dulcamara C6
Did you know that your living environment can promote joint pain? If you live in the mountains or one of the seasons brings cold, damp air, it can cause stiffness and pain in the joints, especially in the winter months.
Dulcamara is the ideal remedy to resist the elements. In the area I come from – the Great Lakes – we rely on this remedy completely.
Hypericum perforatum C30
Sometimes the joints are not just stiff and sore but react with the most intense pain – nerve pain that shoots along the nerve pathways. Do you know the feeling: you’re enjoying a pleasant walk and have to stop because a sharp pain shoots into your hip or knee, radiating along a fiercely burning nerve?
How frustrating is that?
And you still have to walk all the way home despite severe pain! Next time you should definitely have Hypericum in your pocket, just in case. Hypericum (St John’s Wort) relieves nerve pain and can literally save lives.
I also like to take it in a C200 potency.
Rhus toxicodendron C6
Have you ever tried to get out of a car, but your joints were so stiff that you had to sit there for a while before you could finally get out?
Surely you’ve pretended you had to listen to that one radio programme to the end… but inwardly you knew you simply couldn’t.
At that moment Rhus tox. helps. It is specific for joint pains that are worse at the beginning of movement and improve with slow movement. Rhus tox. works best in a C30 or C200.
With the help of this short list you are well prepared to fight the pain. At no age are you too old to just sit and suffer!
Put together a small home medicine kit so that the next time pain strikes you can quickly get going again.
