As we all know that Usain Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter, regarded as the fastest human ever timed. A nine-time Olympic gold medalist, Bolt won the 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 m relay at three consecutive Olympic Games.
Bolt was born with Scoliosis, a curvature of the lower spine, which makes him more susceptible to back pain and injuries, since the age of 16 years he is seeing a homoeopath. He is a patient of German sports doctor Hans-Wilheim Muller-Wohlfahrt who uses homoeopathy at his clinic.
Bolt says “He’s the only person I’ve been to over the years that has figured out a way to make sure my back is okay and I can compete and I can stay on track.”
In July 2016, he was diagnosed with a grade 1 tear of his hamstring muscle. One month after homoeopathic treatment, he was able to compete and win Olympic gold medals.
“I’ve been coming here since I was 16,” the 100m world record holder recently said at a press conference in Munich. “It’s been a long relationship. Every time I have a problem, he always gives good advice and treatments. He’s the best at what he does. We are very close,”
Common homoeopathic remedies for sports injuries:
ARNICA
Arnica is the most common remedy used for acute sports injuries. Arnica is of particular use when there is swelling or bruising.
BELLIS PERENNIS
For deeper bruising, Bellis perennis can be useful. This remedy is also useful for tearing of muscles.
LEDUM
Ledum is the remedy of choice when the bruising is black or to treat sprained ankles. The person needing Ledum is often relieved by the application of ice to the injury.
NUX VOMICA
Nux vomica can be used to treat stiffness after muscle overuse. Stiffness and overuse injuries are well treated by Nux vomica.
