New evidence on Arnica sheds light on its healing properties.. yes the evidence continues to pile up in favor of homeopathy!

Italian researchers have just published a paper examining the effects of the homeopathic remedy Arnica montana on human macrophages.

What are macrophages? They are specialized cells involved in the detection, phagocytosis and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms as well as the repair and remodeling of damaged tissue.

So what did the researchers find?
The homeopathic remedy Arnica montana significantly stimulates the expression of three genes controlling the regulatory proteins of the tissue around human cells (otherwise called the extracellular matrix) - with positive effects on cell adhesion and migration during tissue development and healing.

Another spot to look for low back pain

𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚 - 𝑷𝒔𝒐𝒂𝒔
I'm back! Today we will be talking about the psoas, which is actually a group comprised of three muscles. The psoas major, psoas minor and iliacus are deep muscles that act as hip flexors.

𝑷𝒔𝒐𝒂𝒔 𝑴𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒓
The psoas major originates on the underside of the spine, near the last few thoracic vertebrae through the lumbar vertebrae. It then curves downward and inserts upon the femur.

𝑷𝒔𝒐𝒂𝒔 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒓
Similar to the major, the minor psoas muscle originates on the underside of the spine, near the last few thoracic vertebrae through the lumbar. The psoas minor curves laterally (outside) and inserts to the illium of the pelvis.

𝑰𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒄𝒖𝒔
The iliacus does not attach to the spine. Instead, this muscle originates on the ilium of the pelvis and inserts to the femur.

All three of these muscles control movement through the hip joint. They flex the hip and abduct (externally rotate) the hindlimb. These muscles are often a contributing factor to lower back and hip pain. Unfortunately, they are also very deep and difficult for bodyworkers to access. Stretching and strengthening exercises are some of the best ways to help horses with hip flexor dysfunction.

Seeing this more and more lately, especially with the Lumbosacral joint. Core strength for support of these joints is equally important in dogs as is it in humans!
