Homeopathy for Arm Fractures
Fractures of the upper end of the humerus, or upper arm bone, that connects to the shoulder joint are the third-most common fractures among the elderly. In a case report published in Integrative Medicine Report, a 53-year-old patient with multiple fractures of the humerus selected homeopathy rather than surgery to repair the fractures, which consisted of keeping the arm and shoulder immobilized and daily doses of a homeopathic anti-inflammatory made from the roots and leaves of Symphytum officinale, commonly referred to as the comfrey plant.
After two weeks, a follow-up X-ray showed the first signs of healing, and the patient reported a reduction of pain. After three weeks, the fracture had consolidated, and the patient was advised to start gentle movement of the arm. The final X-ray after six weeks of homeopathic treatment showed the fracture had healed.
