Can Homeopathy help Concussions?

A concussion is a Brain Injury caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head which causes the brain to move back and forth in your skull. Homeopathy can help!

Over a million Canadians live with the effects of an acquired brain injury such as a concussion. About 50% of all brain injuries in Canada come from falls and motor vehicle accidents.

The brain is surrounded by fluid and protective membranes called meninges, which usually cushion the brain. During an impact, the brain is pushed against the inside of the skull and can be bruised. In addition, different parts of the brain can move at different speeds, producing shearing forces that can stretch and tear nerve tissue. They also alter the balance of ions and chemicals in the brain, which impairs nerve cell function and contributes to the loss of consciousness seen in concussion. Some nerve fibers can recover from such an injury, but more severely injured nerve fibers can permanently lose their ability to send signals and communicate with other brain cells.
