Traumatic ulcers generally result from mechanical, chemical or electrical trauma. The ulcer bed consists of newly developing tissue with areas of swelling and infiltration by inflammatory cells and occurs when people suffer from accidental injury.

Mr. Kapil Shrivastav (name changed), 47 years, was suffering from severe pain in the calf muscles that developed after an accident. This resulted in a non-healing injury in spite of not being a diabetic. The nature of his job at a retail store demanded standing for hours together at a stretch, which aggravated the pain further. Unable to withstand the pain any more, he visited Dr. Batra's^®.

At the clinic, after recording a detailed case history, the doctor conducted a thorough clinical examination and diagnosed Mr. Shrivastava’s problem as a traumatic ulcer. The affected area revealed a deep seated ulcer with a thick bloody scab. The surrounding area was swollen and had a blackish discoloration. The doctor prescribed a homeopathic medicine on the basis of his symptoms as well as his constitution, and within 4-5 months of the treatment, the ulcer started healing. In 10 months, as the treatment progressed, he improved considerably. The ulcer healed completely and the swelling disappeared. He hasn’t had a recurrence of the problem to date and is pleased by his recovery.

Homeopathy acts upon the immune system and restorative energies of the body so that it heals itself. While other systems of medicine simply suppress symptoms and treat the body in parts, Homeopathy recognizes the body as a unified whole of physical as well as psychological components and confronts the problem from deep within. This is why it offers hope to many cases deemed ‘incurable’ by other medical systems.
