I'm fairly new to homeopathy, but I'm a believe and not a skeptic

I was just curious, if I were to use calendula on moderate cuts and scrapes, would this cause a larger problem for my 2yo daughter?

How do you know when a remedy is healing, or will cause a larger problem down the road?

and also Hypercal for cuts and the like for many years.

The point about pushing things deeper in arises when a surface symptom can be said to originate within the depths of the body and possibly have genetic connections.

When THESE are treated as a surface phenomena and ""cured"" then that which is being used by the body as a VENT to relieve internal pressure is stopped off and the problem then seeks another area to take up the suppression. Which may cause fibroids, inflammation, or nervous conditions.

Thank you for your reply.

I see, something used topically, such as herbal calendula for cuts, shouldn't cause problems.

Thanks for helping me sift my brain Calendula (partucularly a tincture or oil) is more of a herbal thing than a homeopathic thing.

This is safe orally or on the skin but you need to be 100% sure there is no infection as this remedy can work very quickly in locking the skin, so to speak, and if there is infection, it is locked into the body.

Depending on the wound or what you are treating there are several remedies to be considered.

Hypericum most well known for lacerated wounds where never endings are damaged
Calendula amazing for healing but as I said, be careful
Tetanus used for when the skin has come into contact with severe bacteria/rust etc.
Arnica for bruising also works if you put it in water and spray it on the area. Most remedies can be made into liquid with mineral water and used this way.
Ledum is another wonderful healer for puncture wounds.

Sorry for boring you.

Do not you think that it can prevent and cure infection at the same time.I know surgeons using it freely for wounds without any addition of antobotics.

sajjad.

Never make the mistake of using Arnica tincture externally on bleeding wounds.

Calendula tincture taken internally can clear many types of infections.

Maybe so --maybe not -- it all depends who is doing what when and where.

I have had it drilled into me to beware of using Calendula on open wounds just in case there is infection deep inside the body as Calendula does close a wound quickly, in hours in some cases. I perhaps have not had your experience to use it so freely. One would assume though that a surgeon would not leave infection behind. Perhaps it is the way it is used or the potency? would you know? and thank you for responding.

Regarding the Arnica comment further down - I am sorry, I assume that people know not to use certain remedies incorrectly. I should not assume.

In addition to external use after cleaning the wound completly and keeping the wound free from any pus or other foreign material,at the same time it can be used internally right from low potency to 200c and above.Regarding selection of potency,it all depends on the experience of the physician.

sajjad.
