Homeopathic Treatment for a Herniated Bulging Disc

Homeopathy can provide welcome relief from the symptoms of herniated bulging disks, which include spasms, muscle weakness, radiating pain and numbness. As a holistic system, homeopathic remedies also address the emotional effects of a spinal injury.

  1. Warning

    • Owing to the specific nature of homeopathic remedies, it is preferable to consult a professional. Remedies are selected based on medical history and mental state as well as current physical injury.

    Arnica Montana

    • Arnica is recommended for any kind of trauma to the bones that causes physical and emotional shock. Arnica may also be applied topically to the affected area, as a cream, gel or ointment.

    Hypericum Perforatum

    • This remedy is especially effective for nerve damage with heavy, throbbing pain. Other indications for hypericum include melancholy and confusion. Symptoms tend to worsen in cold or dampness, and are temporarily relieved when the head is bent backward.

    Lycopodium

    • Lycopodium may help any associated sciatic pain, with weakness of the limbs, distended stomach and aversion to solitude. Symptoms are better with motion, and worse with warmth.

    Dosage

    • For newer injuries, low-potency dosages (6C) are typically recommended, whereas chronic conditions are treated with higher potencies (30C or 200C). Pellets are taken orally every four hours, with additional doses when necessary.
