Agreed Kayenneh.
The unfortunate part is, the active ingredients that homeopathy dilutes to atomic non-senselessness, have been found to work. And hence the confusion.
I would still say, go to your medical practitioner and get some real medicine...or visit you pharmacists for alternatives that actually work!
What do I think?? I think that you Aunt may have damaged her elbow and that she was suffering from chronic dehydration. BUT there just may have been an underlying problem and that the Arnica only stopped that pain associated with it. It can take years for a ligament/ tendon or muscular injury to heal...ask any who have suffered from repetitive strain injury. No I do not think it was psychosomatic.
No surprise there
Arnica is known as an anti-inflammatory and in some preparations is quite useful. It DOES have side effects if ingested... be-careful!
Sounds like your Aunt had/ has an underlying medical condition (check out the paper I posted) Please take her to the doctors. I know it is expensive but it is more expensive purchasing homeopathic medicines that cover-up serious medical conditions.
Hope this helps. Nameste

A homeopath-doctor in our locality used to give us medicines sometimes. In most of the problems, we used to have real medicines. But in some small cases, my father used to bring homeopathic medicine. This year I turned out that it is a pseudoscience. But, there still are some questions in my mind.
1) My aunt had a pain in her elbow for a few years. When she made an X-Ray, it was found that the fluid between her bones was dried, which caused the pain. She did not trust homeopathy, but still, with someone else's advice, she took homeopathic medicine. And, her pain went away after 3 months.
