Schüssler salt

In general, the drug Symphytum is recommended for the treatment of bone fractures. This is a herbal remedy which is extracted from the medicinal plant comfrey. It is recommended for children in the form of globulis.

For infants, they may be administered in dissolved form. There are different potencies (D1-D6). The dosage and frequency of use should be determined by a specialist.

Summary

Childhood bone fractures are common, but heal quickly. Care should be taken with poorly visible greenwood fractures where the periosteum remains intact and with injuries to the epiphyseal fissure. In physiotherapy, attempts are made to maintain or restore the mobility and strength of the limb.

Bad posture, which could later lead to serious problems, should be avoided. There is a variety of exercises that should be adapted to the wound healing process and the child. Physiotherapy for children should be playful and interesting without losing quality and content. In addition, Schüssler salts or homeopathy can be used in the treatment of childhood bone fractures.
