Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 So glad to hear that you weren't hurt in the accident. Yes, God was protecting you for some reason. About 15 years ago I was driving to work in the rain and spilled some coffee. I reached down to get it and went off the road. There was a lot of mud there and the car stopped with the left side of the car a couple of feet higher than the right side. I climbed out and was able to get a wrecker there to get the car rather quickly. The car looked like it might be damaged really badly...but, when they washed all the mud off of the car, there wasn't a single scratch on the car and I wasn't hurt either. I've had many, many times that my angels were looking out for me...so, I do understand how you feel. Delaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 ARNICA!!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER leave home without it! I'm so sorry to hear this…what a worry for you. I'm glad they're all okay. But GET SOME ARNICA!!! Okay…now that I read further, you've already given them Arnica. Give them more! And a little Rescue Remedy for yourself, too.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Jan, I’m just assuming they were checked out at the scene or afterwards by emergency personnel. DD sounds like she was in a shocky state and just needs her mama, warm blankets, and close observation. Usually you don’t start really hurting from these accidents till one to two days later. Lots of rest and TLC as needed, that includes you for such a scare. I’d rather not suggest anything more till you know where they are going to hurt and how much. Janet From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of Jan Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 3:34 PM health Subject: Car accident Hi all~ Three of my kids (DS 22, DD 17, and DS 15) were in a car crash this afternoon. It was the other guy's fault, and everyone is ok (besides DS's car ;-)). I'm taking them to my chiro on Wednesday (no more time today, and chiro isn't in the office on Tuesdays), but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas for herbal helps for them... DS 15 is sore~ he hit the dashboard with his knee and the side of his head has a sore spot (even though he doesn't remember hitting his head on anything). DD 17 is extremely emotional and still crying a little 2 hrs later. She says nothing hurts right now. DS 22 (who was driving) says nothing is hurting, but he's busy on the phone with all the insurance stuff and hasn't had time to really take inventory yet (IMO). I've given them Rescue Remedy and Arnica... and told them to take a B-Complex and Magnesium at dinner time. Any other suggestions? Thank you all very much~ Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hi Jan, Sounds like you did just fine. I am sorry to hear about the accident though. As for herbal helps, well it would be better to wait and see what aches and pains crop up. Other than that calming teas will help your daughter. Keep us posted Jan.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Oh, Jan, I'm sorry this happened! I've been there done that just recently with my car being totalled by a teen talking on her cell phone while driving. The emotional trauma is still with me, as are the physical traumas. Rescue Remedy is a great idea. There is a Nerve Sedative Formula in the files section that would do wonders for anxiety (if you can't find it or don't want to take the time to wade through, I'll email you the recipe). I had to take it daily for quite a while after my accident, and occasionally even now. I am SURE that you are already doing this, but LOTS of love and positive energy, assurance goes a long way. It's what gets me through. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jan, and especially with your family. Peace, love, laughter > > Hi all~ > > Three of my kids (DS 22, DD 17, and DS 15) were in a car crash this afternoon. It was the other guy's fault, and everyone is ok (besides DS's car ;-)).

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Thank you everyone for the support and advice! They're all sore this morning so I'm going to do the Nerve Sedative Formula. Thank you again :-) Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hi Jan, Also a nice soak in a tub of hot water will do them all a world of good too. You can add some epsom salts to the water or some essential oils of your choice. Don who can imagine that they are all a little sore this morning having been through several auto accidents myself.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Jan, Sorry my response is so late in coming but hope this helps for future - Symptoms of injury following accidents usually don't crop up for 24- 48 hours post accident, so good on you for starting out. I would also say no heat for 24-48 hours post accident. Generally, my coworkers (I work for a Chiro, massage therapist and acupuncturist) reccommend ice during acute phase, and then alternating heat/ice for a bit. Just to reduce inflammation from initial damage. Heat will help loosen muscles, but can also increase inflammation to an area that is already sore or injured. I know others reccommend heat, I guess it is your call . I have found great luck with homeopathic Bryonia (30C) 6x a day, when there is pain with movement (especially pain in the chest or abdomen). My fiance even cracked ribs and the stuff worked wonderfully to reduce the pain. Also, Traumeel (from a company called Heel, if you can find it) which is a blend of i think 8 different homeopathics. I've used it to support before and after a surgery, after athletic injuries and slips/trips/falls. They even make a cream to apply topically. Just a couple thoughts. Hope all is well and they are on the mend. > > Hi all~ > > Three of my kids (DS 22, DD 17, and DS 15) were in a car crash this afternoon.
