About the Remedies
Arnica – is the main remedy for bumps, bruises, bleeding and trauma – both physical and emotional
Calendula – is a well known and much used remedy for healing and reducing the risk of infection. We think this remedy works better internally than as a topical cream, but you can do both.
Hepar Sulph – is included in case there is a little redness or inflammation, and if not and in the early stages, it should help avoid this. Obviously if you have any concerns about infection, see your GP or ED.
Ledum – has always been known as the anti-tetanus remedy, but I don’t know about the evidence for this. However, even if you’ve had your tetanus shot, this is an important inclusion where there is broken skin or a broken bone.
Hypericum – similar to Ledum in its affinity, it is also a good remedy where there is pain from squished fingers or trapped nerves.
Pyrogen – this is another of the small, but useful, infection and inflammation remedies.
Silica – is really good if there might be dirt and potential for infection and is known for its ability to push things out of the body such as splinters and other foreign bodies.
Always seek professional care from your GP or ED if you are concerned about the nature or severity of a wound or injury.
FAQs
Dosage for Remedies
These notes are a general guide.
Homeopathy is not an exact science and while we can offer general suggestions as to how to give the remedies, each case will be a little different in terms of how often a remedy may be required to bring about improvement.
With homeopathics, because we are working with energy, not substance, we want to give just enough to stimulate the body to do the job. If your remedy works brilliantly with the first dose, you don’t need to repeat unless the symptoms appear to be coming back again.
If you’re not familiar with using homeopathics see the FAQ How much & how often?
Do read the individual directions on each product (both on the label and in the How to Use in the product description) to ascertain whether usage differs to the suggestions here.
Reach out if you’re not sure.
Drops
Our products are made up according to traditional homeopathic pharmacy protocols and include a small amount of pure alcohol as a preservative. You can read the FAQ here on alcohol in remedies.
For newborns, if you do not wish to put the drops in the mouth, you may apply to the soles of the foot or the top of the head. You can also purchase drops and add a spray top to your order, so that you can spray the remedy onto the soles of the feet. The remedy will work just as well whichever way you use it.
Babies under 6 months – 1 drop or 1 spray
Babies 6-12 months – 2 drops or 1 spray
12 months and above – 4 drops
Organic German Sucrose
Give 1 or 2 pilules per dose regardless of age.
Crush between 2 clean teaspoons if you are giving to a baby and you are uncomfortable with giving whole.
Sometimes the pilules can look wet. This is due to the nature of the organic sucrose. The alcohol – which is the remedy applied to the pilules – will evaporate off as you use your remedies. They should not stick together and this does not affect the effect of the remedies.
Homeopathy is about quality, not quantity!
Creams
All our creams are suitable for vegans, due to the way we make them and the based we use.
Directions for Use

Tissue Salts
If you have selected a single tissue salt remedy or a combination, the general suggestion is to take three times a day for up to three months (as per Dr Schuessler’s advice). However, we would expect you would see improvement much sooner than this, likely as soon as a couple of weeks. If you have taken for one month with no obvious difference, choose another tissue salt or consult your homeopath.

Michelle Roockley –
Wow! This is my absolute First Aid give to everybody and every animal who has been physically hurt …. I give it to my daughter for all sorts of minor cuts, hurts, pains, inflammation and to myself, my partner and anyone who is feeling pain with almost anything (especially soft tissue damage). As I live on a property with 6 horses (my elderly dog has just passed) and a cat – I find this remedy amazing for their little or big mishaps also. Lameness and injury with the horses is something of constant awareness … Ouchy has proven to me magical healing (for physical and emotional shock) over the years – and rate its effectiveness 100% compared to Bute (equine drug pain reliever) with 2 recent happenings. I always have some on stand by – its my first ‘go to’ and very comforting to safely give while waiting for vet or to go to Dr. Thank you Melanie / I love your remedies – and this is one of my absolute faves!
