Did you know that surgery causes multiple unwanted side effects, which lead to debilitating circumstances that cause disabling impediments to your ability to engage in activities of daily life and loss of work days.

Because your body has to undergo stress due to the surgical knife wound, the anesthesia, and often the need for antibiotics to treat resident hospital infective agents.

Cutting the skin or puncturing it leads to inflammation and bruising, anesthetic agents can cause nausea as a side effect in some people, and antibiotics can lead to systemic or intestinal yeast infections.

When you cut into muscles and tendons, they are replaced with scar tissue which is not as flexible as the original tissues. Due to the inflammation there is pain and bruising which leads to weakness and reduced ability to move around freely and engage in normal activities of daily life, such as walking, putting your clothes on, turning over in bed, participating in fitness routines, going to work, etc.

There are ways that you can minimize and reduce these post operative consequences and return to your activities of daily life much more quickly and end up with little or no bruising, scar tissue or pain. Following are homeopathic and nutritional remedies and protocols to achieve the best results in recovery from surgery.
