Top Injury Treatment Medicines in Homeopathy

How can I heal my injury faster with Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is known to optimize the natural healing process of the body. This healing mechanism works in closing the wounds (hemostasis), reducing the inflammation, rebuild new tissues (proliferative phase) and stregthening the tissue through collagen synthesis (Remodeling or maturation phase)
Homeopathy strengthens the body’s immunity and self-healing capacity for gradual healing.This healing process depends on healthy immune cells. Immune cells modulate wound healing by releasing cytokines, chemokines that promote cellular level repair.White blood cells help fight infection from germs and begin to repair the wound. But if your immune system is sluggish, your damaged tissues can’t regenerate. Instead, your wounds linger and have a hard time healing.
Homeopath helps improve blood flow and aid healing. Blood helps to heal wounds faster because,blood cells start to clump together and clot, protecting the wound and preventing further blood loss. It also helps bring oxygen and nutrients to the wound.
Homeopathy helps in the formation of healthy callus, and they also boost the activity of proliferation of the osteoblast cells (bone forming cells).
These medicines help the body to fight with the infectious agent by increasing the body’s self healing mechanism and reduce the bone inflammation
