About Usain Bolt and homeopathic treatment for hamstring injury
Usain Bolt is an Olympic Gold medalist from Jamaica. In July 2016, he was diagnosed with a grade 1 tear of his hamstring muscle. One month after homeopathic treatment, he was able to compete and win Olympic gold medals. His treatment was conducted by Dr. Hans-Wilheim Muller-Wohlfahrt. Usain Bolt has been a patient at this clinic since he was 16. Because Bolt was born with a spinal curvature called scoliosis, he has often developed back pain needing treatment. Dr. Muller-Wohlfahrt specializes in sports medicine and is the doctor to many other famous athletes, including Boris Becker and the German Football (soccer) team.
Common homeopathic remedies for sports injuries
ARNICA
Arnica is the most common remedy used for acute sport injuries. Arnica is of particular use when there is swelling or bruising. Arnica can be used in low potencies every 15 minutes, or until bruising is reduced.
BELLIS PERENNIS
For deeper bruising, Bellis perennis can be useful. This remedy is also useful for tearing of muscles.
LEDUM
Ledum is the remedy of choice when the bruising is black or to treat sprained ankles. This remedy is especially indicated if the injured area feels cold but is made worse by the application of heat. The person needing Ledum is often relieved by the application of ice to the injury.
NUX VOMICA
Nux vomica can be used to treat stiffness after muscle overuse. Stiffness and overuse injuries are well treated by Nux vomica.
