Homeopathy, Head Injury & Depression

*Always consult a doctor regarding a head injury - and once properly diagnosed, these homeopathic remedies may help ease symptoms:

*Cicuta should be considered if a person develops epilepsy or convulsions after a head or spinal injury.
*Aurum is useful for people who experience depression as a result of a head injury. This remedy commonly heals the head pain, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
*Hypericum is indicated for head injuries in which the person experiences sharp and/or shooting pains.

Dosage recommendations are to take the 6, 12, or 30th potency every 15 minutes initially the first few hours after an injury. After this, a dose every 2 hours is recommended for severe pain - or every 4 hours for less severe pain. Discontinue taking when pain becomes mild or non-existant. People treating old head injuries should take the 30th potency 3 times a day for 2 days, or fewer doses if the symptoms disappear.
