Stroke
My 84 year old mother had a stroke 1-1/2 years ago from complications of a neck operation. (Lost a lot of blood and had a stroke) She had a moderate stroke on her right brain, followed 5 days later with a a blood clot in her left carotid artery and suffered severe stroke on right side. The doctors said they could not remove the blood clot. (We have given her nattokinase to help dissolve the bloodclot). She was in a coma for 2 months, but came out of that but not fully coherent. She is bedridden, lives at home and her 4 daughters are her caregivers. She has very weak movement in her extremities with more paralysis on her right side. She has an ng tube for feeding and can take small sips with a straw. We turn her every 2 hours and work with keeping her arms and legs as limber as possible although her arms are very stiff. She has no facial paralysis. She looks around and at us and seems to have bouts of clarity where she understands us. She will sometimes follow a command, but sleeps quite a bit. She does seem to be improving with more alertness lately. Aside from that she has high blood pressure and is on lisonpril and type II diabetes which is controlled by glyburide. Is there anything homeopathic that may help her? Her doctor is amazed at how healthy her bloodwork is in spite of her paralysis/body weakness.jjsantucci on 2009-02-27
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
please give her ARNICA 30C every 4 hours for a day or two and see if there is a little improvement in 48 hours.

if paralysis on the right side ,the stroke may on left brain.
Arnica is one of the good remedy
Remedies like Op,Bary carb,Nux vom,Gink biloba,crotalus H, etc helped many cases.
It is better to under a personal observation of a hompath

i think in this case ARNICA is the obvious remedy to be taken initially. you may take some 2 to 3 drops in 2 spoon full of water being sipped up slowly.
later, based on the particulars, a remedy should be selected as what have been named.

I'm new to this site, I order arnica 30c this morning but it looks like its in tablets, not clear on 2 to 3 drops in 2 spoonful of water. Does this also come in tincture (drops) if so, is there a different place to order. I live in US

I spoke too soon, I see that it also comes in liquid application. I will try that for her and let you know her improvements.
Thank you so much.

Pannakkal: She had a severe left brain stroke, but 5 days before that she had a moderate right brain stroke. So its both sides of her brain. I will try arnica first, and hopefully see improvement. Thank you.

IF determined to use--arnica--which i think should get more info 1st---then --dissolve 1 pellet in 4 oz water--stir-put 1 teaspoon of 1st mix -into another clean glass--of 4 oz water--clean spoon --stir-- give her 1 teaspoon dose----double dilut is so dose is small--WE DO NOT NEED ANY AGGRAVTION IN THIS CAE
thing is if there any sort aggravtion --u bee in tough situation --we r here --u r there---and remedies r time awy from u getting --thatis if we see post in time---dont be fooled by idea not cause what it cures----that is the disclaimer of the day--
anyway--keep close eye on grand-mum--after 1 dose--dont repaet to soon---i just woory that if arnica is on the mark--we got trouble-----
i dont know--and i dont advocate try-opathy --so u have put trust in this place for help---and with only little case info --i think try-opathy is at work----my suggestion is if this is not an EMERGEBCY--take time give low down on mum--info --meds she currently on--i mean 1 1/2 years ago some pathological changes bound to have compensated for the stroke deal---better get these guys some good background so they can assess the case --and know --or get an idea what may occur---

I had treated many cases.
Now Iam treating two cases with MCA(Middle carotid artery paralysis).
Arnica believed to be a clot dissolver, it may or may not act and many of the people follow this method.ie., giving Arnica first.,without indication of arnica.
Some times it may work.
In my case of above patient I mentioned,I gave him Opium first as he was very sleepy and some other indications.He improved alot then gels followed with further improvement.
Now he can talk,walk with help,can swallow, can urinate,catheter removed,food tube removed.
According to symptoms BC followed.He is 73 old.
But the main thing is personal attention and observation, we cannot do it in faraway cases.So try a throw away and hit method.

My mother is under two respectable doctors for care. She is watched very very closely. We will research more thoroughly arnica for any potential side effects before considering this homeopathic.

Pannakkal: We tried 30c arnica 2-3 drops every 4 hours for two days, saw very slight improvement in alertness. Do you recommend more days or different dose? Thank you.

Yes, Arnica is good remedy.
Contninue with it and if progress is halted, try Arnica 200.
After a few weeks of Arnica 200, you can go to Arnica 1M potency.
There will be further improvement.
Giving her a lot of fresh fruits and vegetable juices will also help.

thank you, will try arnica 200. We are excited about her alertness/awareness.
jjsantucci last decade
please continue arnica 30c and once the improvement stops, you need to give arnica 200c once a day.
then wait and watch the progress.
once the improvement stops, please go to arnica 1m but only once in 5 days.
you will see a lot of improvement in her.
please follow what jerryacu has suggested.
