DESCRIPTIONS AND USES OF REMEDIES IN YOUR FIRST AID KIT
CALENDULA OFFICINALIS - Second only to Arnica in the first aid kit treasury. Chief Remedy for healing wounds, cuts, superficial burns and scalds. Stimulates the formation of healthy scar tissue. Taken in potencies internally will promote healing no matter where it is needed in the body. Best taken separately from other remedies. Injuries are very painful, out of proportion to the injury itself. Calendula promotes the healing of septic wounds, ulcers and parts that will not heal. Encourages local discharge of toxins from the wound and knitting of the tissues. ( see also description of Calendula Tincture below)
CALENDULA TINCTURE - One of the best external washes for scrapes, abrasions, lacerations and cuts. Use a few drops of the tincture in sterile water. Apply to the area with sterile gauze after washing the area with soap and water. Promotes the healing of septic wounds, ulcers and parts that will not heal. Encourages local discharge of toxins from the wound and knitting of the tissues.
CANTHARTIS - Remedy for intense pain of burns. Intense mental and physical irritation. Pains are cuttting and burning. Burning and intense thirst. Cantharis is frequently needed in second and third degree burns. The skin is blistered, hot, burning, very painful and the patient is restless, peevish, won't listen to you and may even be delirius or violent.
CARBO VEG - Remedy for resusitation. Carbo vegetablis or simply Carbo veg is famous as "the corpse reviver". The patient is typically cold, blue and lacking oxygen. This remedy could be used after an auto exhaust or oven gas suicide attempt. Or from any condition in which the patient is starved for oxygen and is turning blue or dusky color, such as after drowning. Give the remedy and do CPR (if cardiac arrest is there). Don't stop trying just because they have stopped breathing. If you get to them quickly and give Carbo veg, you may save a life. Can be needed for stillborn babes when the child comes out blue. Give the remedy and whack it on the backside upside down and it may start breathing. Patients can need Carbo veg in any state of collapse where there is utter prostration. They typically lie in bed with the windows wide open and want the cold air on them despite the fact that their skin is cold to the touch. They will even uncover themselves with the cold air, air conditioner or a fan on them. They have tons of gas, belching and flatulence. Bad odors and a pinched, sickly, bluish face.
ENCHINACEA - Use the tincture locally, as a cleansing and antiseptic wash for boils, insect bites, irritation from poisonous plants, septic or gangrenous sores or ulcers, carbuncles. Promotes pus formation and the removal of toxins. Similar to Calendula but for more septic conditions. Also like Calendula it can be used in potencies internally
HYPERICUM - Hypericum follows well after Ledum. Hypericum is recommended when the person complains of ‘shooting pains’. Nerve pains ...very severe sharp shooting pains. Can also be used as a wash externally by either dissolving hypericum tablets in water or using dilute tincture of Hypericum perforatum. The first remedy to think of when damage has been done to the parts of the body rich in nerves and are highly sensitive: fingers, toes, genitals, Patients who need this remedy feel shooting pains along the limbs or from the injured area. Think of Hyper. after fingers or toes get slammed in doors, severe toe stubs and the like. Also used for puncture wounds (also Ledum.). Prevents tetanus (like arnica). Spinal injuries and their chronic effects. Effects from shock, fright or hypnotism. Fear of falling from a height. Feels as if floating in the air. Like Arnica and Calendula makes a great wash for scrapes and minor open wounds; use several drops of the tincture in a half cup of water. Prevents infection.
LEDUM PALUSTRIS - Helps prevents sepsis. Indications: puncture wounds, prefers cold dressings on wounds. Frequency of dose: lower doses half hourly, hourly, two or four hourly, depending on severity of injury. Repeat whenever pain returns. Also indicated for black eye ...with severe bruising and swelling, with patient preferring cool dressings. Begin with course of arnica montana and follow up with a course of Ledum Pal. Also good as a wash to help prevent sepsis of wounds. Use crushed tablets in water as a wash, or diluted 10 drops tincture to one cup water. Wash puncture wounds with this tincture of Ledum Palustris. |
