In general, the routine use of Arnica 1000 works very well
in the treatment of shock
associated with injuries, but if the patient goes into severe shock due to an
accident and looks lifeless, in this situation, Carbo Veg as well as Strontium
can reverse the shock and revert imminent death as though by magic. Strontium Carb
and Carbo Veg are antidotes to each other. Some doctors suggest the use of Strontium
Carb in surgical shock and Carbo Veg for the shocks following accidents and
severe illnesses. This is not a hard and fast rule, however. As a routine,
Strontium Carb must certainly be considered in the treatment of shock following surgery. Often,
it succeeds in restoring the life of a dying patient. The body starts warming
up and the patient then sleeps comfortably. If Strontium Carb does not work,
then Carbo Veg must be given. In shock where the defence system almost fails
and body does not react and the patient is moribund, this situation demands
Carbo Veg which brings the patient back to life. The defence system of the body
is restored and the body starts responding to other homoeopathic remedies. However, Causticum is the best in restoring the local tissue damage due
to shock. Arnica 1000 combined with Natrum Sulph 1000 should be used in the treatment of injuries to the nape or
in a blow to the spine.
The human body has been provided with the capability of
fighting any disease. The real challenge, however, is how to make use of it.
The homoeopathic system offers a way to achieve it. Strontium Carb is very good in the treatment of eye conditions.
The aching of the eyes, redness, watering of the eyes, strain on reading and burning
sensation of eyes can all be treated with Strontium Carb. Another peculiar symptom of trontium is
that the patient has complete aversion
to meat, but has increased appetite for bread. Chronic
sprain of the ankle and the related symptoms have already been discussed in detail under Arnica, Ledum and Bellis. If
the condition becomes chronic and not treatable with common
remedies, then Strontium Carb may also be the an effective remedy.
Strontium Carb is also useful
in the treatment of muscular strain and sprains of the
neck, but it should be used in potency 30. Strontium Carb has also been described to be useful in the pain at the right shoulder.
In a patient suffering
from Rheumatism associated with diarrhoea and cramps of the legs and feet as well as ice cold feet; Strontium Carb, like many other homoeopathic remedies, may also be useful. In Strontium Carb, the patient loses
appetite and hates to eat meat. He does not relish normal food either. The
diarrhoea becomes more profound at night. The ailments related to Strontium Carb become worse during
the change of weather and on remaining silent. The patient cannot tolerate cold
at all.
