Crush injuries

Remedy:

Hypericum

Where I work we have these fantastic ergonomically designed chairs that have a little bit of spring to them. I had the chair pulled right under the desk and with one hand on the armrest, jumped out of the chair to grab a book off the shelf. The chair slammed into the underside of the desk, taking my fingers with it. I had a client in the room with me at the time so I couldn't say what I really felt and instead, smiled weakly at him and took some Hypericum out of my remedy kit with a shaking hand.

Hypericum is excellent for crushes to nerve rich areas such as fingertips, toes and the coccyx bone which is the tailbone. So if you drop a weight on your toe, slip on the ice and land on your tailbone or inadvertently crush your finger in the car door, get some Hypericum immediately. The pain will subside and to avoid a black fingernail, alternate with Arnica.
