Homeopathy for Arm Fracture

Fractures of the upper end of the humerus, or upper arm bone, that connects to the shoulder joint are the third-most common fractures among the elderly. In a case report published in Integrative Medicine Report, a 53-year-old patient with multiple fractures of the humerus selected homeopathy rather than surgery to repair the fractures, which consisted of keeping the arm and shoulder immobilized and daily doses of symphytum officinale, a homeopathic anti-inflammatory made from the roots and leaves of the comfrey plant.

After two weeks, a follow-up X-ray showed the first signs of healing, and the patient reported a reduction of pain. After three weeks, the fracture had consolidated, and the patient was advised to start gentle movement of the arm. The final X-ray after six weeks of homeopathic treatment showed the fracture had healed.
