The ankle and the ligaments are all related to the liver and its function.

Any kind of
swelling is related to the liver, as it is known as the master chemist of the body. Its
function is to control all the chemistry in the body, including the ankle and ligaments. I
have included some information from the Homeopathic Materia Medica for your review
on a remedy,
Ruta Graveolens. Take 3 pellets 30C (not X) per day, before bed after cleaning your teeth.
No food afterwards, until morning. Take for 10 days then stop and go to Calc. Fluor.
Calc. Fluorica : General; Acts upon the periosteum and cartilages, eyes and uterus.
Complaints from straining FLEXOR TENDONS especially. Tendency to the formation of
deposits in the periosteum, tendons and about joints, especially extremities of the wrist
and ankles. Over strain of ocular muscles. All parts of the body are painful, AS IF
BRUISED. Sprains (after ARNICA). Lameness after sprains. Jaundice. FEELING OF
INTENSE LASSITUDE, WEAKNESS AND DESPAIR. Injured "bruised" bones. Also you
can use Calc Fluor, which is a cell salt. This is a natural salt within the body, which often
is in diminished capacity to function in the liver to control the flexibility of the ligaments
which allow the (in this case) the ankle to take the pounding of daily movements from min
to max ability. In your case max. I have also included some information regarding the
uses of Calc. Fluor. Take 30x 3 pellets at a time four hours for thirty days. Then take 6x
for 60 days, 6 pellets every eight hours in warm water and drink slowly. No food or drink
15 mins before or after. A disturbance in the balance of Calc. fluorica. Or Calcium
Fluoride in any of the body tissues can cause a chronically relaxed condition of any of
the associated tissues. If the elastic fibres of any portion of the vessels of the connective
tissues or lymphatic system have arrived at such a state of relaxation, it is thought that
the osmotic transfer of body fluid can be interrupted and that fluids will accumulate in
these cellular tissues. It is also known that when the elastic fibres of the blood vessels are
disturbed by an imbalance of the molecules of Calc. Fluor. or Calcium Fluoride,
enlargements of blood vessels can take place. As you can now see, the liver (see related,
Jaundice, a major liver disorder) is the main function of your problem.
These two remedies that I have included will help you restore the natural function of your
ankle. In TCM, the liver is associated with the elasticity of fibres the connective tissues
(not the tissues themselves) and lymphatic system and is emptied into the eyes. There is
much more to the liver and its function that allopathic medicine has still to understand.
FYI, the Chinese (TCM) has understood the workings of the liver for thousands of years.
Many cultures have a greater understanding of the liver than allopathic (Modern Western
Medicine).
Homeopathic Ruta graveolens | Homeopathy for Tendonitis, Muscle Strains,
Sprains & Sports Injury
Home Care for Sprains and Sports Injuries
When a person is versed in homeopathy they become strong in their belief that the body
has the wisdom to heal itself. Whether it is to spike a fever to create an unfavourable
environment for germs to multiply, or to experience soreness after an injury to give time
for the muscles and tendons to heal.
We all experience injury from falls, over-lifting, over-work, and over-stretching when over
enthusiastic about playing ball, tennis, running or any other sport. We are inspired when
springtime comes to go outside and really work on self-improvement.
Yet, when we do not do physical stretching to prepare the body, or spending too much
time or pushing oneself too hard then the body will pull back and respond in a number of
ways.
Today, we will concentrate on the physical injury of a strain. When we apply too much
force upon the limbs, ligaments, and muscles that attach to the bones and joints. This can
occur with a straight force or twisting motion, as when playing tennis. Sometimes the
strain can occur from an awkward movement and pulling the muscle in a way that is not
expected or unnatural.
Even the voice can experience a strain from screaming too much at a sports event,
singing too long in the chorus or for cheers, going to a range that is unaccustomed and
too far a strain for the tone of the voice muscles.
If you think about it, we also strain our eye muscles by staring at the computer screen
too long, especially when we don't blink and wet the eyes. We strain the eyes when we do
close up work like sewing, intense reading, or miniature work, or driving long distances
in the car.
We can also strain our neck muscles when sitting in the wrong position for too long, or
when we wake up and say, "Gosh! I must have slept funny" and then you can barely move
your head.
With the computer use, we can also get carpal tunnel syndrome in our wrists and
forearms and again, strain muscles from over use and repetitive motions.
A major type of sprain and strain to the body is tendonitis
We know that inflammation can cause pain and heat to tissues and cells in the body. It is
a reaction to some irritation. The tendons that run throughout the body are composed of
fibrous tissue cells that connect like rope or cords from bones to muscles.
Tennis elbow (epicondylitis) was first recognized by doctors more than 100 years ago
and it is estimated that up to half of all tennis players will suffer from the condition at
some point. Tennis elbow is the inflammation of the tendons in the elbow area and is
caused by overuse and injury. Tennis elbow almost always affects the tendons out the
outside of the elbow.
Treatment often consists of Rest, Applying Ice or Heat packs, and/or keeping the body
part immobile or even consistent gentle movements.

A FEW BASIC HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
HANDY FOR ANY SPRAINS OR INJURIES ~~>>
Calcarea carbonicum: Sometimes we can determine the correct remedy for the body type.
When the person's appearance is on the heavy side, with un-toned muscles, fair skinned
and tendency for flabbiness and sweating, especially on the head at night. These Calarea
types typically feel chilly and have weak ankles in general, so twisting, turning, or
spraining is commonplace.
Arnica Montana: At the onset of injury every homeopath or home care person reaches
for arnica from their home remedy kit. It is a great remedy for shock and trauma after a
slip or fall. Usually called for when there is a black and blue area that does not want to be
touched. Arnica ointment may be applied externally, in addition to taking pellets by
mouth.
Bellis perennis: Super remedy for stretched ligaments, and well known to help woman
after giving birth when there has been great strain, force and effort to deliver a new-born.
The muscles feel very sore. Strangely, we learn that this remedy favours left-sided
injuries, and there could even be swelling with the inflammation.
Rhus tox: This is wonderful remedy for muscle over-use, like when you have moved into a
new home or apartment and just carried a ton of boxes up and down. This remedy is
great for those over-lifting strains. A hint is that this is an acute type remedy for the
Calcarea carb personality type. So, after rhus tox, it may be appropriate to follow up with
the calcarea. The rhus tox injury may feel like a stiffness that hurts painfully on initial
movement, but as the muscles loosen up they feel okay. Then after too much movement,
they will return to the painful condition again. So, you can think about sitting in one
place for a while and how stiff you feel when you first get up. Rhus tox is wonderful for
arthritis symptoms when those ligaments and muscles feel a strain from wet weather, too.
Bryonia: A great remedy for when any minute or tiny movement of any kind causes
extreme pain. After that fall, sprain or trauma the person wants to keep perfectly still,
even to lay in the dark and not be bothered by anyone. In addition, by lying ON the
painful side this is even better because then the area will not be moved at all. The bryonia
types can be quite thirsty.
Ruta graveolens: This remedy is one that I automatically think of for those sports strains
and sprains to ligaments. Below is a full report on the application and benefits of ruta. It
is also a lovely plant to have in the garden.
Ledum: When there is severe bruising and haematoma this remedy that is from the
rosemary plant can be applied externally and taken internally as pellets. Ledum has a
particular sensation of pain shooting or moving upwards; like from ankle up the leg to
calf or knee. It is especially useful for after a puncture type wound.
The beauty of homeopathy is the many choices for each condition. It is best to match the sensations
and symptoms to the closest matching remedy. Take only one remedy at a time and watch its action
before moving on to another remedy.

It is also a useful remedy after surgeries involving tendons, connective tissue, cartilage,
joints, and coverings of the bones. It can easily promote recovery after surgery on knees,
wrists, shoulders, elbows, ankles, hips, etc. It eases discomfort if deep stiffness is felt in
joints and muscles after surgery. Recent research works showed that Ruta
Graveolens has some immobilization effect on human sperm and it paves a new hope for
male contraception. Pathak et al investigated that Ruta 6 induces severe telomere
erosion in cancer cells but has no effect on normal
lymphocytes. Banerji and Banerji reported that Ruta was effective for intracranial
cysticercosis.

Homeopathic Remedies for Broken Bone Support
If an injury involving a bone is very painful, and the person has difficulty moving the
body part or bearing weight on it, the bone could be fractured. A doctors care should
always be sought because correct assessment and proper setting of a fracture is very
important for healing. Homeopathic remedies can ease the pain and swelling associated
with broken bones, as well as helps to accelerate the healing process.
For dosage information, please read the information at the end of this section. See also
Using Homeopathy with Professional Guidance in What Is Homeopathy?
Arnica: This remedy is useful for reducing the pain and swelling that accompany any
new injury, and should be taken as soon as possible after a break occurs. It may also be
helpful in calming the person, since breaking a bone is traumatic as well as painful.
Doses may be taken frequently, according to how the person feels. Arnica may be used
for several days while pain and soreness are prominent. Another remedy may be
indicated later, to encourage proper healing of the bones and surrounding tissues.
Bryonia: This remedy may help to bring relief if excruciating pain results from even the
slightest motion. The person usually wants to remain completely still and not be touched
or interfered with.
Calcarea phosphorica: This is a useful remedy for aching and soreness in bones and
joints, especially when the area feels cold and numb. It can help relieve the pain of
fractures and bone bruises, and encourages repair and strengthening if a fracture is
slow to heal.
Eupatorium perfoliatum: This remedy is well-known for its use in flu and fever when the
bones are extremely painful (as if broken) and is useful to relieve the deep or aching
pain of actual broken bones.
Hypericum: This remedy is very useful for crushing injuries to body areas that are well-
supplied with nerves. If smashed fingertips or toes are severe enough to traumatize the
bones, Hypericum can be a welcome form of pain relief.
Ruta graveolens: This remedy is known for its effect on bone-bruises and on injuries to
the periosteum (the covering of the bones); both of these types of trauma are involved
when a fracture of a bone occurs. Ruta is also indicated when the pain around a fracture
is extreme, and the person feels lame or weak. This remedy is also helpful in many cases
when pain persists after treatment with Arnica.
Symphytum: This remedy is best known for helping broken bones re-join and heal. It
should be taken after a bone is set to ensure proper joining of the bone. (A common
recommendation is to take it several times in the first few days, then once a week while
the bone is healing.) It is also useful in many cases when pain persists in old, healed
fractures.
Homeopathy Dosage Directions
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-
treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X,
6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually
printed on the label.
Many homeopathic physicians suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose
and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work.
If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The
frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may
be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a
day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.
If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.
HOME REMEDIES BONE FRACTURE
When a bone in the body breaks or cracks its called fracture. There are two types of
fractures: closed or simple, when the skin that covers the bone remains intact or its open
or compound when the bone breaks the skin. Use the home remedies bone fracture in this
site to speed up healing.
When a fracture occurs, it causes terrible pain and tenderness in the area fractured,
along with swelling, the appearance of some blood under the skin and some numbness,
tingling or paralysis below the injured area.
When a person fractures an arm or leg, he or she could lose the pulse below the fracture.
Fractures are more common in young children and in older adults. As we grow older,
our bones get weaker and more fragile, and they take more and more time to heal
themselves.
A fracture requires professional attention, what we offer here are recommendations that
will aid in healing after the bone has been set.
NOTE: Bone mass increases continually throughout life until approximately 30-40 years
of age. In later years, net bone loss occurs when bone restoration exceeds the amount of
bone formed. In fact, bones lose their density continuously each year after the age of 30
in both men and women. To assist in promoting the health of our bones, studies have
long shown that a daily intake of Calcium is critical.

USE THESE HOME REMEDIES BONE FRACTURE

Home Remedies Bone Fracture #1: Eat half pineapple every day until its completely
healed. It contains Bromelain, an enzyme that helps to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Do not eat canned or processed pineapples. If you dont like fresh pineapple, take the
supplement Bromelain. It has the same effect as pineapple.
Home Remedies Bone Fracture #2: It is very important to regain Bone Strength as soon
as possible to avoid future injuries and to insure a solid bone fusion. We recommend that
you take this.
Home Remedies Bone Fracture #3: Do not eat red meat, and avoid drinking colas and all
products containing caffeine.
Home Remedies Bone Fracture #4: Avoid eating foods with preservatives; they contain
Phosphorous which can lead to bone loss.
Home Remedies Bone Fracture #5: Take Boron is important for the health and healing of
the bone.
Home Remedies Bone Fracture #6: Take Calcium + Magnesium + Potassium. They are
essential to repair bone damage and to maintain a good muscle and heart condition.
Home Remedies Bone Fracture #7: Take Zinc helps repair tissue damage.

Arnica montana
Arnica treats a wide range of conditions but is best known for controlling bleeding and
speeding healing of damaged tissue. The person will be restless, feel sore and beaten,
and find it difficult to get comfortable. It is a useful remedy following accidents and
childbirth. Homeopathic Arnica is prepared in ultra-high dilutions and while usually
given orally can also be safely applied to broken skin, something that cant be done with
herbal Arnica due to its irritating effects.
When broken bones have been caused by trauma, Arnica is the first remedy of choice in
the first 24-48 hours. Following this, one of the following two remedies usually produce
better results.
Other conditions helped by Arnica, when symptoms match (remember the Law of Similar),
include types of: abscess; angina; arthritis; stokes; concussion; dental procedures;
eczema; gastritis; gout; influenza; malaria; meningitis; pneumonia; psoriasis; rheumatism;
infections and sprains.
Bryonia alba
A symptom that will always be present when Bryonia is needed is that any complaint will
worsen with the slightest movement and improve for being still. For this reason it is often
needed during fractured ribs where pain is always associated with the motion of
breathing. Sometimes, people needing Bryonia even prefer to sleep on the side of their
fractured ribs so that they cant move at all with breathing. Unfortunately, as discussed,
lack of movement also leads to pneumonia. Bryonia can reduce the pain so the person
can breathe more deeply.
Intense irritability, a desire to be left alone and dryness of mucous membranes are other
chief Bryonia symptoms, no matter what the complaint. Complaints with symptoms that
often indicate Bryonia are: appendicitis; arthritis; asthma; bronchitis; bursitis,
constipation, connective tissue disease; cough; fibromyalgia; gout; headache; hepatitis;
influenza; low back pain; mastitis; meningitis; pharyngitis; pleurisy; rheumatoid arthritis;
sciatica; tendonitis and vertigo.
Symphytum officinale
Symphytum is used in homeopathic potencies to ease the pain of broken bones and
speed their repair. Reports are common of fractures healing within one to two thirds of
the time normally expected. Its common name of Comfrey or Knit-bone indicates its
herbal fame for knitting broken bones together. Unfortunately, it is no longer
prescribed in herbal doses as it can also be toxic to the liver but if used in homeopathic
potencies, is free of this problem at all are used. Symphytum is also useful for phantom
pains following amputation and injuries to the eye-ball and orbit.
