Treat sports injuries gently - with homeopathy

Can you even treat sports injuries like the sprained ankle or painful calf with beads? Yes, that works - and often very successful! In homeopathy, not only disease and discomfort determine the exact treatment, but also individual characteristics of the patient. "In contrast to longer lasting or chronic illnesses, the therapy for acute complaints is not so much tailored to the individual patient, but rather to the injury," explains naturopath and homeopath Roger Rissel. "With eleven remedies, you already have a small home pharmacy that can help you well with sports injuries."

Every self-treatment has its limits. For example, if the ankle is sprained, it is important to check whether the ligaments are not only overstretched, but perhaps even torn. If in doubt, especially if the symptoms get worse, it is best always to seek a naturopath or doctor.

But even if torn ligaments or a broken bone must be directed by the surgeon: Homeopathic remedies support the healing process, so you can get back into shape faster.
