Homeopathic Remedies for Bed Sores

Arnica mont. (One dose only): Generally indicated in bed sores when a patient is confined to the bed for a long time and feels bruised all over, before ulceration.

Baptisia (One dose only): Bed sores specially during typhoid fever.

Typhoidinum 1M (One dose only) Repeat after a week: Bed sores during typhoid fever.

NOTE: Bed sores develop on account of lying in one position for a long time such as is necessary in orthopaedic or similar problems. Precaution is easier than cure. The patient should be sponged daily with lukewarm water and any talcum powder be sprinkled on him after this. If ulcers have developed – Calendula Q – a few drops may be added to the water used for sponging.
