Homoeopathy can help support the repair of broken bones by reducing pain and assisting calcium metabolism. Several remedies are mentioned as potentially helpful including Arnica to reduce trauma and promote healing, Bryonia for irritability and pain worsened by movement, and Hypericum for nerve damage from crush injuries. Rhus tox and Bryonia can be alternated to relieve painful stiffness, while Ruta grav and Rhus tox may assist with non-union of fractures. Symphytum can speed bone union where healing is slow. The document also provides information on product specials and educational resources from the homoeopathic supplier.

1. Homoeopathy and Broken Bones
When there has been an accident, especially involving broken bones reach for your remedy kit to
support the repair process. The following remedies may be helpful to support calcium
metabolism, reduce pain and assist with repair of the fractured bone.
Arnica: First remedy to think of in any accident; it promotes wound
healing and alleviation of any stress or trauma carried over from the
injury or any surgery required. Continue as needed and alternate with other indicated remedies.
Bryonia: Most notably the person is irritable, wants to lie completely still and be left alone. Pain
is much worse from movement. Often needed after or with Arnica and alternated with Rhus tox
to help reduce bruising, swelling and pain.
Hypericum: For injury to nerve fibres, especially crush injuries - fingers, toes, etc. Reduces pain
and addresses nerve damage. Shooting sharp pains. Use in combination with Arnica, especially
after surgery, and repeat often for pain.
Rhus tox: Painful stiffness especially around joints. Better - movement & worse after lying or
sitting, with stiffness and difficulty in getting up and moving. Alternate Rhus tox and Bryonia to
relieve pain.
Ruta grav: Injury and surgery involving ligaments, cartilage and/or periosteum, or where bone is
close to the surface. Stiffness and pain in joints with a feeling of bruised weakness and
weariness. Consider Ruta grav and Rhus tox alternated for non-union of the fracture despite
good management.
Symphytum: Useful once the fracture is set to speed union, especially where healing is slow.
Irritable bone at point of fracture and prickly pains during healing.
Tissue salts 6c (Ferrum phos, Calc flour, Calc phos, Silica) a low potency combination to use in
conjunction with the indicated remedy to help the body recover.
Delayed repair or non-union of bone within a reasonable period may indicate a constitutional
weakness or block to healing indicating a need for a consultation with your homoeopath.
