Ledum is used after vaccination, injection, and dental work as it helps to heal the trauma of puncture wounds. Often the area is cold and may have a black tinge. Consider for any injury that may be indicated for Tetanus, eg standing on a nail; or for injury from a thorn where there is swelling, coldness and sometimes even redness travelling from the area (give often and seek medical advice if at all concerned). For swellings and sprains of the foot.
Key Indicating symptoms:
- Puncture wounds that are cold and black (particularly metal, wood, glass – anything that may be considered a risk for Tetanus).
- Bites and stings (mossies, bees, spiders, cats, rats, dogs etc – anything that could cause blood poisoning).
- Post vaccination effects from injection

- Injuries, sprains and strains with coldness.
