NW68: Post Concussion Syndrome

This presentation, drawing on clinical experience and the needs of both military and civilian populations, offers an integrative approach to concussion management. You'll learn how Homeopathy can be used as an immediate first-aid measure to reduce swelling, inflammation, and provide rapid symptomatic relief for acute brain injury and long-term recovery—including symptoms like brain fog, headaches, and confusion. The session will detail five commonly prescribed homeopathic remedies, Arnica montana, Hypericum perforatum, Gelsemium sempervirens, Natrum sulphuricum, Ruta graveolens, with a focus on Dr. Weinhold's field kit design for "warrior athletes." Furthermore, the talk will review the rationale for incorporating specific botanical medicines and nutraceuticals—including Lithium, Creatine, Scutellaria baicalensis, NAC, Omega 3s, Curcuma longa, and Cannabinoids —to decrease neuroinflammation, increase neuroplasticity by boosting Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and support cognitive function and mood following a TBI. Attendees will gain confidence in using these proven and safe remedies in their practice.
