Strontium Carb is very useful in the treatment of complications developing after surgery. A surgeon must keep Strontium in his possession while performing surgery. It proves very effective in combating postoperative shock (surgical shock), which, if untreated, may lead the patient to a near death situation. Strontium also proves to be the panacea for the shock resulting from severe accidental injuries (post-traumatic shock).
In general, the routine use of Arnica 1000 works very well in the treatment of shock associated with injuries, but if the patient goes into severe shock due to an accident and looks lifeless, in this situation, Carbo Veg as well as Strontium can reverse the shock and revert imminent death as though by magic. Strontium Carb and Carbo Veg are antidotes to each other. Some doctors suggest the use of Strontium Carb in surgical shock and Carbo Veg for the shocks following accidents and severe illnesses. This is not a hard and fast rule, however. As a routine, Strontium Carb must certainly be considered in the treatment of shock following surgery. Often, it succeeds in restoring the life of a dying patient. The body starts warming up and the patient then sleeps comfortably. If Strontium Carb does not work, then Carbo Veg must be given. In shock where the defence system almost fails and body does not react and the patient is moribund, this situation demands Carbo Veg which brings the patient back to life. The defence system of the body is restored and the body starts responding to other homoeopathic remedies. However, Causticum is the best in restoring the local tissue damage due to shock. Arnica 1000 combined with Natrum Sulph 1000 should be used in the treatment of injuries to the nape or in a blow to the spine.
The human body has been provided with the capability of fighting any disease. The real challenge, however, is how to make use of it. The homoeopathic system offers a way to achieve it.
Strontium Carb is very good in the treatment of eye conditions. The aching of the eyes, redness, watering of the eyes, strain on reading and burning sensation of eyes can all be treated with Strontium Carb.
Another peculiar symptom of Strontium is that the patient has complete aversion to meat, but has increased appetite for bread.
Chronic sprain of the ankle and the related symptoms have already been discussed in detail under Arnica, Ledum and Bellis. If the condition becomes chronic and not treatable with common remedies, then Strontium Carb may also be the an effective remedy. Strontium Carb is also useful in the treatment of muscular strain and sprains of the neck, but it should be used in potency 30. Strontium Carb has also been described to be useful in the pain at the right shoulder. In a patient suffering from Rheumatism associated with diarrhoea and cramps of the legs and feet as well as ice cold feet; Strontium Carb, like many other homoeopathic remedies, may also be useful.
In Strontium Carb, the patient loses appetite and hates to eat meat. He does not relish normal food either. The diarrhoea becomes more profound at night.
The ailments related to Strontium Carb become worse during the change of weather and on remaining silent. The patient cannot tolerate cold at all.
