Healing Quickly The Natural Way:

Rejuvenate Your Family:

 

Thought I’d let you know why my blog activity has been quiet for the past week. My gorgeous youngest son, Jack, whilst playing tiggy (tag), broke his collar bone and fractured his shoulder. The pain was not nice and the lack of sleep for days left me in zombie land. The joys of motherhood.

Everything is fine, after 5 days he is well on his way to a speedy recovery. I have been treating him holistically and thought I would share what I have been doing as broken bones are quite common problem in both the young and old.

 

Natural Healing of Broken Bones:

Even though I am not a naturopath I have built my knowledge by visiting many natural practitioners over the past 20 years, I have great friends who are practitioners in the alternate medicine field and often chat to naturopaths at our local health food stores. The following suggestions are not meant as medical advice but simply what I have been doing personally to heal my son naturally.

 

1: Emergency essence:

This is the very first thing I do anytime there is upset or trauma. It removes the shock from the physical and emotional energy fields of the body. Emergency essence is similar to rescue remedy except its made from Australian Bush flower essences. I continued giving the essence to Jack every half an hour until he was settled.

 

2: Arnica a must for internal bruising:

This was the first homeopathic remedy I ever used. Its fabulous for the quick healing of internal bruising. Great if you have just given birth and perfect for my boys after a rough and tough ruby game. I only used arnica for the first few days.

 

3: Nutrition for the muscle and bone:

I have a powder drink which I buy from our local health food store and use for my boys before and after a sports game. Its a blend of magnesium, calcium and potassium. 50% of the total magnesium found in the body is in the bone. Magnesium is also known as an anti stress mineral and helps with muscle recover. I will continue giving Jack two glasses of this mineral drink for a couple of weeks.

 

4: Reiki:

When my son is asleep at night I place my hands over his broken bones and ask for energy to flow into his body and support the healing process. As soon as I start reiki I usually feel a heat flow from the palm of my hands.

 

5: Comfrey ointment:

Comfrey is rich in iron, silica, potash and calcium. In the alternate medicine field it is known for its teeth and bone building properties. It’s nick name is the bone knitter. Comfrey is always applied externally. If I was very clever I would be growing it in my garden but failing that I buy it in ointment form from our local health food store.

 

6: Homeopathic drops for bones:

My good friend Butterfly who is a homeopath suggested calc phos. Calc phos is made from the mineral salt found in bone and teeth. I haven’t yet started my son on this as I have run out. I’ll be buying some today in either pill or liquid form.

 

7: Realignment of the body:

After the bones have healed I will be taking my son to a bowen therapist who will correct any misalignment in the body. This is just to double check that nothing is healing in the wrong place and that the hips, spine and muscles are back where they should be be.

What a fabulous article, I love it!
Not your son’s broken bones, obviously… But the holistic healing information is fantastic. Thank you!
These are things I usually don’t think about until the crisis is over – I’m going to bookmark this article as a reminder (and hopefully I’ll remember it’s here if I need it, lol).

Interesting! I have a question about healing, though not bones: I have been looking for a natural way to relieve the stress of menstrual cramps and side effects. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hi Carole…
Great info!
Very Wholistic (as always)

sending extra angels to Jack (as always :)

Laura…
I would recommend Calcarea Carbonica 30c in liquid form taken 3x daily especially in the week before your period. I have had great response with this remedy. It is a tonic and strengthening remedy so you will be able to reduce the amount and frequency as you progress. 1 dose = 1 drop.

Carole… this is also helpful for bone repair.

I have stock available.

Blessings of angelic Bliss!

Great list Carole! I have never heard of Emergency Essence. I am wondering if it is similar to the Rescue Remedy made by Bach flower essences. Comfrey can also be used homeopathically as “symphtum” to speed bone healing. I typically prescribe 30c 5 pellets 15 minutes away from food or drink three times daily.

Bach also now makes an Emergency Spray which I find really useful for people and pets. I give it to my dog (who has severe separation anxiety) twice a day on her food and it keeps her balanced and in line.

Just watch that you only give reiki after the bones have been set. I’ve heard stories of people who did reiki too soon on broken bones and had them strta to knit before they were correctly positioned, thus necessitating re-breaking and setting (ow!).
