Concussion and Optic Nerve Injury

#ConcussionRecovery #HolisticHealing #ArnicaMontana
Hi, I’m Ida Fanelli — Holistic Aesthetician, Reflexologist, IPL Technician, and Energy Healer with 30+ years of experience. Before this, I worked for 12 years as a Medical Laboratory Technologist. Welcome to Where Science Meets Self-Care, where I combine scientific knowledge with holistic, natural healing to support your body, mind, and spirit.
This two-part series explores the gaps in conventional concussion care and introduces holistic therapies and natural remedies that can help speed recovery, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life after brain injury.
Suppose you or a loved one has had a concussion. In that case, you know the frustration of being told to “rest” — only to face persistent brain fog, hormonal imbalances, headaches, emotional shifts, sleep problems, and neurological symptoms.
What You’ll Learn
Why time alone doesn’t heal concussion-related inflammation, fascia tension, lymphatic stagnation, or emotional trauma.
How holistic healing requires active support through reflexology, energy healing, lymphatic drainage, nutrition, and neurorehabilitation
The limitations of conventional concussion protocols that rely mainly on rest and symptom checklists
How Arnica Montana, a natural herb and homeopathic remedy, reduces swelling, bruising, pain, and inflammation, as used successfully in my husband’s recovery. Make sure to read its contraindications. It's not for everyone.
The role of innovative hypothermic cooling therapies like the Pro2 Cool System, plus energy modalities such as violet ray ozone therapy, PEMF, and low-frequency magnetic stimulation, which recalibrate the body’s biofield and support neurological healing
The powerful benefits of Astaxanthin— a potent antioxidant carotenoid found in wild salmon, algae, and seafood — support neurogenesis, brain and eye health, cardiovascular protection, skin anti-aging, enhanced endurance, and more
My husband’s inspiring concussion and optic nerve injury recovery demonstrates the real-world impact of these holistic approaches.
Hypothermic Therapy & Energy Modalities
The Pro2 Cool System provides cooling therapy to reduce concussion severity and speed healing. It complements:
Violet ray ozone therapy for ozone-rich plasma stimulation
Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) therapy to improve circulation and neural repair
Low-frequency magnetic stimulation improves balance, sleep, and neurological symptoms
Together, these therapies recalibrate the body’s electromagnetic biofield and support nervous system recovery after trauma.
Astaxanthin: known as Super Vitamin E
Neuroprotection: Supports brain health, reduces oxidative stress, aids recovery from traumatic brain injuries. Crosses the blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers, aiding vision restoration. Lowers blood pressure, reduces LDL cholesterol, and improves arterial function
Metabolic support: Helps manage diabetes, prevents fatty liver disease
Skin & anti-aging: Protects against UV damage, wrinkles, and age spots; natural internal sunscreen
Immune & inflammation: Enhances lymphatic function, reduces arthritis pain
Physical endurance: Boosts stamina, reduces fatigue, aids muscle recovery
Hormonal & reproductive health: Alleviates menopause symptoms, improves male fertility
In 2016, my husband sustained a severe concussion and optic nerve injury during marathon training. Through a holistic approach involving:
Remote energy healing
Nutrition focusing on healthy fats and astaxanthin
Surgery to remove a bone splinter near the optic nerve
He regained some vision.
