Hopefully you won't need this next remedy, but if you've sprained your ankle, and arnica can't seem to relieve the stiffness and pain, then you'll be glad to have this homeopathic remedy on hand!

Quick help for crushed fingers and other sharp, shooting painful injuries to nerve-rich areas!7/22/2011 The homeopathic remedy Hypericum, which comes from the well known plant St. John’s wort, is commonly used for injuries to nerve rich areas, such as fingers, toes, teeth, and the spine. Pains from these injuries will be sharp, and shooting! I have both given and taken this remedy for painful smashed fingers (ow!) as well as to recover from deep nerve pains caused by dental work (or the need for it), especially a root canal!
Common ailments: · Nerve injury · Dental work · Puncture wounds · Tetanus prevention · Cuts with sharp, shooting pain · Herniated disk

Happy Friday! After trying to decide which ailment (and remedy) to focus on next, I had it handed right to me straight from the kitchen….ouch! Whether you’ve been rushing around the kitchen and your hand slipped, gotten a little too close to the campfire, or even accidentally overcooked yourself in the sun, Cantharis, which comes from the Spanish fly, is the go-to remedy for burns of all kinds. And…for those who are occasionally affected by UTI’s this remedy is good to have on hand for that too!
Common uses: · Burns, scalds · Urinary tract infections · Chemical burns to eyes Physical Symptoms:
This next remedy is an excellent one to have on hand this summer, for quick recovery of animal and insect bites and stings that Apis just can’t heal, as well as for deep bruises and puncture wounds. Ledum Palustre is made from wild rosemary, and is known as marsh tea. The main thing to remember with Ledum, is that the wound will feel icy cold, and yet oddly it is relieved by cold, unlike Apis, which feels burning hot! Also, the wound that needs Ledum will often be purple and puffy. Common uses:
Well, summer is definitely in full swing now, and so are trips to the beach, lakes, and watering holes of all kinds! And, along with all our water play come the BEE'S! Fear not, Apis can save the day!
Apis Mellifica is made from the common honeybee, and is the number one remedy for quick recovery after being stung (by bees as well as other insects). My mother had the unfortunate experience a couple years ago, of being stung all over the top of her feet by red ants, which caused burning and very painful swelling, but when she finally got her hands on some Apis, she healed up fast! Usually one dose is all you need for burning pains, swelling (and tears) to vanish. So, don’t let our wonderful pollinating friends wreck your summer! Common uses:
