Acute conditions:

It is interesting to note that homeopathy remedies can bring calm and comfort by alleviating intense fear or anguish to those who have just suffered from acute trauma. For instance, Aconite Napellus, a medicine prepared from the mountain plant, is known to comfort fright and fear of death. It can make one relax, relive fear and cope up with the fearful situation better. In my opinion, millions of people world would have felt better with some doses of Aconite on the 12th or 13th September, especially people in the US.

Cantharis, a medicine prepared from Spanish fly, is another remedy to be used in the hospitals or roadside camps for the cases of burns. Cantharis has stupendous powers to not only relive the excruciating burning pains of the victims but also to enhance the healing of the wounds. Cantharis also helps prevent infection. Cantharis 30c may be used safely as a first aid remedy in case of acute burns even without a medical supervision.
