Question

Some websites Deny Arnica's effectiveness of post surgical treatment.

Even the Homeopathy websites which promote this product, warning that, "Homeopathic remedies are very dilute, and while the homeopathic remedy may be beneficial, the raw product may be harmful."

Now I want to know, Is this Homeopathic medicine really effective for the treatment of Episiotomy? Have any side affect of it? Have any risk to increase the problem or create new problem instead of healing the problem?

I also want to know that, is Arnica only just a pain killer or antibiotic, or it is for completely healing and cure? Is it only for use to reduce pain after a surgical operation, or can use any time in order to help the entire healing process? Our patient already passed 8 weeks after a full cut Episiotomy and now have only slight pain sometimes when any movement or physical activity. So pain reduction is not major issue now. We only need to ensure complete and permanent healing. So I cannot assure if the Arnica would be applicable or not at this moment.

As we see contradictory information about this medicine in the web, so I need to know real experience or authentic data. How many Episiotomy patients get complete recovery by taking Arnica or such type of Homeo medicine?

Answer 1

I had an episiotomy with my eldest. I took no medications other than over the counter painkillers. At my 6-week check-up, it was fully healed and there was no pain. So, in my opinion you do not need Arnica (I've never even heard of it) or any other medication to recover from an episiotomy (other than painkillers, perhaps).

Answer 2

The website that refers to your wife's situation - or, perhaps for your purpose of research, is http://www.nationalcenterforhomeopathy.o... You're looking for education, so it's important to rely on a dependable resource.

Just as YA is full of Top Contributor medical skeptics who earned their badge not based on professional experience, but uneducated personal opinion negating homeopathy and other viable "energy" medicines - the web is full of individual opinions and experience.

Basically, whether on YA or on the web, you can find the answer you want.

For a person with these problems, being under the care of a certified, professional homeopath is necessary. This situation doesn't qualify in the category of self-help acute care. The remedy is not homeopathy, it's the knowledge and philosophy for understanding why a particular remedy should be given and not another. That's the first step. The hardest part, requiring skill as a classical homeopath, is "case management" - the second and, if necessary, subsequent remedies.

You ask for real experience and authentic data. If you are unable to accept more than 25 years of my experience as a homeopath, I don't know what more to offer. The woman needs to be under the care of a homeopath, based on qualifications set forth by the Council for Homeopathic Certification, the only profession-wide credentialing organization in N. America.

No, Arnica is not enough.
