Thuja - for ill effects of anaesthesia

Dear WDDTY

With reference to dental and other anesthetics (and immunizations), I thought your correspondent would be interested to know of a homeopathic remedy which might prevent any ill effects. Thuja 30, one or two doses, taken before and after the treatment, has a proven effect in preventing trouble, if the remedies are taken correctly. My daughter takes it herself and also gives it to her animals. The one time she didn't give it to the dog because she didn't know he was having anesthetic, he could hardly walk afterwards, and staggered about as if drunk! At other times, with Thuja, he was perfectly all right. The cats were not dopey or put off their food, as the vet had warned. PV Williams......

WDDTY replies:

Thanks for the tip. Alternative practitioners: any scientific evidence (or copious clinical experience) of the efficacy of Thuja for this purpose?
