Sometimes surgery is necessary! The good news is that there is help at hand to get you through the pre-surgery nerves right through until you have recovered fully, both in the mind and body.
PRE-SURGERY NERVES
Having a positive attitude can be a great advantage in preparation for surgery, however often our nerves overcome us. Homoeopathic medicines can really help with anticipatory anxiety. Gelsemium is the first remedy to think of and should be taken as needed prior to surgery. If it doesn’t fit how you are feeling consider Aconite, Argent nit, Chamomilla or Lycopodium.
PREPARATION FOR SURGERY
To prepare the body for surgery consider using Arnica 30c (or 6c) on the day before surgery and on the morning of surgery and also Pyrogen 30c, once on the day prior to surgery and continued for a few days after. If you react to anaesthetics Phosphorus taken before surgery can be helpful.
POST SURGERY RECOVERY
Arnica has an excellent reputation for surgical shock, and for the bruised sore feeling following surgery, and Hypericum, also known as ‘the Arnica of the nerves’ helps with nerve damage and repair. To make it easier they can be combined in one bottle and even added to the water jug so it can be sipped frequently for the first 24 hours and then as needed for several days. Staphysagria helps the body to recover, on a physical and emotional level, from incised wounds especially in the genital or lower abdominal area. Hysterectomy, caesarean, prolapse repair, haemorrhoids, circumcision, vasectomy etc. After deep abdominal surgery there can be deep pain despite the use of Arnica, use Bellis perennis. If the surgery has been to areas of the body which involves bone, cartilage and periosteum such as joint, dental and open heart surgery (where the rib cage is opened) Ruta grav.
RECOVERY AND CONVALESCENCE
Recovering from surgery or serious illness can be a slow process. Time and patience may be required but the process can be accelerated or stimulated by the use of remedies such as Carbo veg and Kali phos. Lycopodium or Carbo veg help reinstate digestive function.
