Abstract
The case report presents the homeopathic treatment of a lacerated wound in an 8-year-old boy, who sustained a cut on his right hand from a sharp cutter. The injury was characterized by brisk bleeding and acute pain, managed initially by tight pressing to arrest the bleeding. The patient, with a history of dengue fever three years prior, was treated with Arnica montana 200 CH administered every two hours on the first day and subsequently every three hours for five days, along with Calendula officinale 200 CH and external application of Calendula ointment. The treatment resulted in significant wound healing without the use of antibiotics or surgical intervention. This case underscores the efficacy of homeopathic remedies in managing acute injuries and promoting wound healing, highlighting the potential of Arnica and Calendula in treating lacerated wounds.
