Hiya,
I had a consultation today with a nurse who is a specialist homeopath/acupuncture specialist, and have a question hopefully someone can help with??
I spoke to the nurse because my husband and I have been trying to have a second baby for 2 years and nothing has happened despite reassurances we're both fine, but I'm not ovulating at all. The nurse asked if I'd been involved in any traumas and I told her about my car accident. She said she could tell instantly that my body is in shock. I was amazed but it seems to make sense!!?
I'm trying to tackle several issues at once with regard to my panic attacks/health anxiety and general anxiety. I've always had anxiety problems but they have worsened considerably since I have been involved in several car accidents in a short space of time, none of which were my fault. I find it very difficult to talk about these accidents but had no idea this could be affecting so much, even my fertility.
Anyway, the lady advised I should take arnica for up to a month as it is brilliant for shock, and to see a chiropractor/osteomyologist to sort out any problems with my alignment in the mean time, and come back in the future if I need to.
Does anyone have any opinions on arnica?? Would be amazing if it helps!
Thanks
Gemma
