My 14 month old little boy is now fully mobile & getting in to all sorts of mischeif. He's recently figured out how to turn the washing machine on & off aswell as hide the car keys (usually to be found in the aforementioend washing machine!) As a homeopath I have used remedies with him since before he was born, during my pregnancy I received treatment from my homeopath to help me with the niggles of pregnancy as well as to prepare for the birth. He had his first remedy which he was just a few hours old. I decided to write a small post about Arnica as this is such a fabulous remedy which is often over looked! I really do think that if every mum carried a little bottle of this with them that it would help with all manner of bumps & accidents such as this one that happened last week. I was in the local park with my little man. He had been on the swings & then was having a nosy around the rest of the play area. He became very excited when he noticed the big shiny slide on the other side of the play ground & set off running with his head down before I had time to grab him. He tripped over & landed full force on the concrete path on his face; every parents worse nightmare. I heard the thump as he landed & started to scream. He had scratched his nose & there was a huge scuff on his forehead which was already turning blue before my eyes. Thankfully I had some Arnica under the pram (I don't go anywhere without it much to many people's amusement!) so I immediately gave him Arnica 30c. He stopped crying fairly quickly & we came home. He had another Arnica 30c before he went to bed that night & was his usual happy self. The following morning he awoke looking "normal". No bruise, no lump, no marks & no sign of his accident the previous day. The powers of homeopathy are truly amazing! |
