Calendula lotion is used locally for the
treatment of skin sores,
but it has also been found very useful in the
healing
of wounds when taken internally in homoeopathic form. Non-healing,
indolent ulcers start to heal with the help of Calendula 200. Taken internally
it dries up the chronic ulcers, if its local application has not already benefited.
There is a basic difference between the working of Calendula from Hepar Sulph
and Silicea. Calendula builds up the inner strength of the body to repair the
damage done to the tissues due to wear and tear. Hepar Sulph and Silicea fight
against the infection. Calendula is very useful in the treatment of surgical
wounds that do not heal normally, provided the radiation treatment has not
destroyed the cells surrounding the surgical wound. Pure honey is also
beneficial as a local treatment of sores and ulcers. In fact, honey has been
found to be more effective than Calendula in many instances.
For the treatment of
bed sores (Decubiti),
normally Arnica and Hypericum are used. If both of them fail, Calendula in
potency 200 will certainly benefit to some extent. Complete cure is also
possible.
Calendula is also useful in
stopping bleeding after the extraction of teeth. The symptoms of Calendula
intensify in cloudy wet weather.
