Emergency treatment

Emergency Treatment with Homeopathy: General Indications


Homeopathy can be a useful tool in emergency situations, provided it is used appropriately and with an understanding of its limitations. Our goal with these recommendations is to provide a basic guide to help you respond quickly to mild to moderate situations. However, it is essential to remember that these instructions do not replace professional medical judgment.



The homeopathic remedies mentioned here are the most commonly used in emergencies, but other options exist depending on each individual case. If no improvement is seen after 3 to 5 doses, it is essential to contact a doctor. Furthermore, if the situation warrants it from the outset, you should go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Homeopathy can complement conventional medical treatment, but should not replace it in serious cases.

Rules for the Correct Administration of Homeopathic Remedies


To obtain maximum effectiveness from homeopathic treatments in emergency situations, it is important to follow certain rules in their preparation and administration:

  • Choosing the right potency: It is recommended to use remedies in 30 CH or 30 K potencies, avoiding higher doses, as they could alter the expected effect.
  • Preparation of the dilution: Dissolve 5 granules in 10 tablespoons of bottled water in an opaque glass container (if possible). If water is not immediately available, 1 dry granule may be taken at the same intervals.
  • Frequency of administration: Doses should be spaced out according to the severity of the case:
  • Every 2, 4 or 6 hours in moderate situations.
  • Every 10 minutes in very severe cases, reducing the frequency as improvement is observed.
  • Use of mother tinctures (TM): If using mother tinctures, it is recommended to make a 20% solution and apply it in compresses two or three times a day on the affected area.

Motion sickness before travel: anxiety and imbalance

Seasickness: The Sailor's Enemy

This can cause constant nausea, paleness, and a feeling of extreme weakness. Tabacum is a recommended remedy for those who experience this type of seasickness, helping to relieve discomfort and allowing for better adaptation to the ship's motion.

Muscle cramps: painful contractions due to dehydration

Remedy: Cuprum Metallicum Cramps are intense and painful muscle contractions, often caused by dehydration and the loss of essential minerals such as potassium and magnesium. They often occur after prolonged physical activity or exposure to high temperatures. It is essential to replace fluids and electrolytes to prevent these spasms. Cuprum Metallicum is a useful remedy for relieving muscle stiffness and reducing the pain associated with cramps.

Arsenicum Album is an effective homeopathic remedy for treating these symptoms, helping to restore digestive balance and reducing gastrointestinal inflammation.

Diarrhea from too much sweets: digestive problems after a craving

Remedy: Pulsatilla. Excessive consumption of cakes, sweets, or candy can cause diarrhea, with or without a feeling of indigestion. This condition is especially common in children and is accompanied by stomach discomfort and slow digestion. Pulsatilla is the recommended remedy in these cases, as it aids digestion and relieves the feeling of heaviness, allowing for a faster recovery.

Diarrhea due to food poisoning

Remedy: Vegetable Charcoal

Head injuries

Eye trauma

Remedy: Ledum Marlustre

A blow to the eye, whether from a punch, an impact with an object, or a fall, can cause considerable inflammation and pain. Ledum Palustre is a useful remedy in these cases, helping to minimize damage and reducing swelling and redness in the affected eye area.

Injuries in areas with many nerve endings

Remedy: Hypericum

When a blow or trauma occurs in particularly sensitive areas, such as the spine, coccyx, or fingers, the pain can be intense due to the large number of nerve endings in these areas. In these cases, St. John's Wort is the appropriate remedy to relieve the sharp, stabbing pain, although it is always advisable to seek medical attention to rule out complications.

Wounds and cuts

Remedy: Calendula and Ledum

For open or superficial wounds, it's essential to wash the area with soap and water to prevent infection. Calendula helps speed healing and keep the wound clean. For punctured or penetrating wounds, Ledum is the best option, especially if caused by sharp objects or bites.

Minor burns
