for joe on arnica

I do not remember using Arnica 200 in the recent past and although I have this potency in my stock of about 500 remedies, I do not use it normally. As you know I have been using Arnica 30c on a nightly basis and I have proved that this remedy is the reason for my sense of wellness at my advanced age of 77 years with a BP of 120/80 and Pulse 65.

I proved what was just a theory by stopping my nightly dose for 3 weeks and discovered that I was creaking all over like most others do at my age while my BP increased by about 10mm. My general condition stabilized in a week after I returned to the nightly dose.

For the record I would like to mention here that I have taken Arnica 6c and later 30c since 1996 on a nightly basis in the wet dose. I am aware that many classical homeopaths will criticize me for promoting this idea of a nightly dose but I have proved the efficacy on myself and have also observed the response of those to whom I recommended it and who later confirmed that it did them a lot of good. I note that you have read my notes on Arnica and you may have also read the responses of those who have used this remedy nightly as I do.

The potencies that I prescribe most are the 6c and 30c but I have used the 1M for acute cases in the case of patients like the 21 year old in a coma and the 83 year old who had lost his motor functions in his extremities. They were both brought back to health in a few weeks.

I may use the 200c if I discover that the 30c does not give the response that I expect from the lower potencies. I would not however recommend that the 200c be used on a daily basis.
