Homeopathic Remedies for Pre & Post Surgery

Homeopathy is a natural way of evaluating the state of the body and treating it as a whole organism. Generally, homeopathy does not view surgery as a cure for a problem or condition, but rather a treatment that then must be completed through the course of the body's healing. As a result, homeopathic remedies for pre- and post-surgery play a critical role in homeopathic treatments and wellness.

  1. Treatments for Anxiety, Sleeplessness and Fear Before and After Surgery

    • If you are nervous about your upcoming surgery, or you are anxious about your ability to recover, your mental strain can complicate the surgery or slow the healing process. Generally these medications should be taken in the form of dried pellets, according to manufacturer's specifications (since measurements differ) or your homeopath's instructions based on your condition and body weight.

      Arnica montana prevents shock and controls hemorrhaging and swelling. In many cases, knowing that you are treating these issue pre-emptively will be sufficient to allay fears. Aconitum napellus will help deal with fear, phobias and extreme anxiety about waking up from anesthesia, as will Aethusa cynampium and Argentum nitricum. All of these supplements are available from homeopathic remedies providers or a homeopathic health care professional.

    Remedies for Pre-Surgery

    • Just as you may be instructed to stop taking certain supplements like vitamin E and omega-3 fish oil prior to surgery to avoid unnecessary bleeding or other complications, taking certain homeopathic remedies can help you prepare your body for the unavoidable trauma of a surgical procedure. Ferrum phosphorous 6 can help prevent infection if taken four times a day each of the two days before the surgery, while Arnica reduces pain and risk of infection if you will be on an IV long-term leading up to or after the surgery.

    Remedies for Post-Surgery

    • Once you have had the surgery, your body will still feel like it is injured even if the surgery corrected a problem. To alleviate the symptoms involved with your body's attempt to deal with these wounds, continue taking the Arnica, which will also relieve stress and anxiety associated with surgery. Bella perennis can also help with pain and speed healing. Never take any homeopathic remedies without your doctor's knowledge, since they may interact with prescribed medications in a negative way.
