Which remedy is indicated for eye injury and fracture with blunt trauma to the eye and pain of the periosteum long after injury heals?

• A. Arnica
• B. Symphytum
• C. Ledum
• D. Euphrasia

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is healing of bones and the periosteum after trauma. Symphytum is the remedy of choice when there is bone involvement with slow or lingering healing and tenderness of the periosteum. It specifically supports bone repair and relieves the deep, dull pain that sits along the periosteum long after the initial injury. In a case of eye injury from blunt trauma with persistent periosteal pain, this points to bone and periosteal healing needs, making Symphytum the best fit. Arnika covers acute bruising and swelling but not prolonged periosteal tenderness; Ledum suits other deep, puncture- or stab-type issues; Euphrasia targets eye discharge and irritation rather than bone healing.
