Strontium Carb is very useful in the treatment of complications
developing after surgery.  A surge on must keep Strontium in his
possession while performing surgery.  It proves very effective in
combating postoperative shock (surgical shock), which, if untreated,
may lead the patient to a near death situation. Strontium also proves to
be the panacea for the shock resulting from severe accidental
injuries (post-traumatic shock).

In general, the rou tine use of Arnica 1000 wo rks very well in the
treatment of shock associated with injuries , but if the patient goes
into severe shock due to an accident and looks lifeless, in this
situation, Carbo Veg as well as Strontium can reverse the shock and
revert imminent death as though by magic.  Strontium Carb and Carbo
Veg are antidotes to each other.  Some doctors suggest the use of
Strontium Carb in surgical shock and Carbo Veg for the shocks
following accidents and severe illnesses.  This is not a hard and fast
rule, however.  As a routine, Strontium Carb must certainly be
considered in the treatment of shock following surgery .  Often, it
succeeds in restoring the life of a dying patient.  The body starts
warming up and the patient then sleeps comfortably.  If Strontium
Carb does not work, then Carbo Veg must be given.  In shock where
the defence system almost fails and body does not react and the
patient is moribund, this situation demands Carbo Veg which brings
the patient back to life.  The defe nce system of the body is restored
and the body starts responding to other homoeopathic remedies.
However, Causticum is the best in restoring the local tissue damage
due to shock.  Arnica 1000 combined  with Natrum Sulph 1000 should
be used in the treatment of injuries to the nape  or in a blow to the
spine.

The human body has been provided with the capability of fighting any
disease.  The real challenge, however , is how to make use of it.  The
homoeopathic system offers a way to achieve it.

Strontium Carb is very good in the treatment of eye conditions.  The
aching of the eyes, redness, watering of the eyes, strain on reading and
burning sensation of eyes can all be treated with Strontium Carb.

Another peculiar symptom of Strontium is that the patient has
complete aversion to meat, but has increased appetite for bread.

Chronic sprain of the ankle  and the related symptoms have already
been discussed in detail under Arnica, Ledum and Bellis.  If the
condition becomes chronic and not treatable with common remedies,
then Strontium Carb may also be the an effective remedy.  Strontium
Carb is also useful in the treatment of muscular strain and sprains
of the neck, but it should be used in pot ency 30.  Strontium Carb has
also been described to be useful in the pain at the right shoulder.  In
a patient suffering from Rheumatism associated with diarrhoea and
cramps of the legs and feet  as well as ice cold feet ; Strontium Carb,
like many other homoeopathic remedies, may also be useful.

In Strontium Carb, the patient loses appetite and hates to eat meat.  He
does not relish normal food either .  The diarrhoea becomes more
profound at night.

The ailments related to Strontium Carb become worse during the
change of weather and on remaining silent.  The patient cannot
tolerate cold at all.
