A Concussion Case

One of the first remedies to use in the case of a concussion is often Homeopathic Arnica. However it is is important to realize that with Homeopathy, a practitioner studies the patient’s symptoms carefully because not every patient needs the same remedy despite the fact that certain symptoms may appear similarly.

Six years previously Samantha developed a concussion while playing soccer. While the concussion itself resolved, brain fog with inability to focus at various times persisted and interfered with her ability to work.

A usually active young woman she felt exhausted after short bouts of exercise. She had been seen by various physicians over the years without relief of her symptoms. Eventually she became my patient. Samantha was an excellent reporter of her symptoms and it became clear that Arnica would not be useful in her case, so she was started on another Homeopathic remedy which addressed many of her symptoms more completely.

After four months of doing well on her first remedy, her symptom picture changed and she was started on another Homeopathic remedy which addressed all her latest symptoms and she recovered fully, able to participate in all the activities she enjoyed. This is what Homeopathy has the capacity to do!
