On February 22nd, 2009 whilst skiing in Jackson Hole, USA I collided with a tree and broke my right tibia badly.
The break to the tibia required surgical stabilization with a titanium rod.
As I work in the field of complementary health care I was able to receive good advise on supplements and homeopathic remedies that are beneficial for aiding recovery of a broken bone.
1).
Arnica Arnica is usually taken after surgery to reduce pain and swelling.
Arnica is beneficial as it stimulates white blood cell activity which aids dispersion of congested blood and fluids from the injured tissues.
It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial qualities which help decrease pain and swelling, and promote faster wound healing.
2).
Wobenzym N Wobenzym helps to break down proteins that slow recovery from sports injuries.
It contains enzymes such as pancreatin, bromelain and papain which have an important role in reducing inflammation.
3).
Combined Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D3 Supplement A calcium supplement is useful to aid bone regeneration but needs to be taken with Vitamin D for the body to be able to utilize it.
4).
Calcarea Phos 200 Calcium phosphate is an important mineral salt that is essential for bone growth.
5).
Symphytum officinale The herb contains allantoin a cell proliferant that speeds up the natural replacement of body cells.
It is reputed to have bone building qualities and is used in the healing of broken bones.
I have used the above products and found them beneficial.
I would recommend that you discuss with your doctor and homeopath whether they are appropriate for you.
