Homeopathy & Sports Injuries: A Clinical Review

Mukesh Batra

Abstract


Homeopathy ‘fits the bill’ as a safe and effective tool for the management and treatment of sports and other injuries without side-effects. This is primarily because homeopathic treatment provides the natural stimulus for our innate body systems to ease injuries, or pain syndromes, and hasten healing. More importantly, homeopathic remedies are endowed with a huge advantage—they are not ‘drugs,’ and they do not act as chemicals inside the body. They promote self-healing and natural restoration of health to its optimal level.


Keywords
