Homeopathy with Edel Bolger O'Hora

What is the definition of Pain?

  • Acute Pain

    Is pain that has a sudden onset and is fairly intense symptoms. It resolves in a short period of time. 

  • Chronic Pain

    Is pain where symptoms last more than 2 months. 

(Acutes can lead to Chronic if not treated, e.g. a pain that lingers)

When treating ourselves in the home or when going to the homeopath, case taking is important where the type of pain needs to be explained by the suffer as best they can in any situation. The following questions are considered when taking the case.

 Is the pain tender, throbbing, sharp, stiff, pressing, burning or shooting?

What is the sensation experienced spasm, numbness, weakness, tremors, tingling, prickling?

What caused the pain, injury, cold wind. How is the person emotionally, irritable, whingy, needs to be left alone?

What are the other things happening during the experience pain such as vomiting, sleepiness/sleeplessness, thirst/thirstlessness? 

What are your observations of the person such as are they pale, flushed, no energy, too much energy?

Then lastly what does the person do to feel better ? 

What happens to  make them feel worse ? 

(For Example, going into the air can make a person feel better or worse, cold compress can make a person feel better or worse.)
