Remedy Spotlight: Hekla lava
Hekla lava is a fascinating remedy known for its action on bones, teeth, and abnormal growths. It is often considered when there is excessive bone formation or hard swellings, especially around the jaw.
It’s especially helpful when:
There are bony growths, spurs, or enlargements
There is pain or swelling in the jaw or teeth, especially after dental work
There are cysts, nodules, or hard lumps developing in bone areas
Teething is difficult, with swelling and sensitivity
There is lingering discomfort after tooth extraction or dental procedures
Hekla lava has a strong affinity for the bone structure, particularly the jaw, but also other areas where bone changes or growths are present.
Emotional picture: Often not very marked, but there may be irritation or frustration linked to ongoing physical discomfort.
Think of Hekla lava when there are hard, bony changes or growths, especially in the jaw that seem slow to resolve.
Top tip: This is a key remedy to remember for dental-related bone issues, especially when swelling feels hard rather than soft.
Did you know? Hekla lava is made from volcanic ash from Mount Hekla in Iceland. Animals grazing near the volcano were observed to develop unusual bony growths - which led to its use in homeopathy for similar conditions.
