Hypericum is the most important remedy to use whenever there is an injury to any part of the body with a high concentration of nerve endings, for example, the hoofs, spine, eyes, lips, and head. Hypericum is effective for concussion with sensations in the head, such as an ice-cold feeling, and eye injuries.
