Brain haematoma (bleeding inside the skull)
A brain haematoma is a pool of blood inside the skull that presses on the brain, usually after a head injury. It is an emergency: a worsening headache, vomiting, drowsiness or weakness after a blow to the head means hospital now.
- About 1 in 4 people with a head injury develop a subdural haematoma
- Symptoms can start at once — or weeks to months after a mild knock
- People over 65 and babies are most at risk

What is Brain haematoma (bleeding inside the skull)?
The brain sits inside the hard skull, wrapped in a tough covering called the dura. When a blood vessel tears — most often from a blow to the head — blood collects in a pool (a haematoma). It may lie between the skull and the dura (epidural), under the dura (subdural), or inside the brain itself (intracerebral).
A sudden, large bleed after a hard blow is the most dangerous kind and needs surgery quickly. In older people, a mild knock can tear tiny veins on the brain's surface, and blood can leak slowly for weeks before anyone notices.
What are the symptoms?
- A headache that keeps getting worse
- Vomiting, dizziness or confusion
- Drowsiness, or losing consciousness
- Slurred speech, or pupils of unequal size
- Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
- Fits (seizures); in older people, memory loss or a change in behaviour
What causes it, and who is more likely to get it?
Injury
- A blow to the head — a fall, a road accident, a sports injury
- In older people, even a mild knock, because the shrinking brain stretches its small veins
Blood that bleeds easily
- Daily blood-thinning medicines or aspirin
- Clotting problems, for example from liver or kidney disease
- Heavy alcohol use over a long time
Weak or strained vessels
- High blood pressure
- A ballooned vessel (aneurysm) or badly formed vessels
- A tumour
How is it found?
Anyone with warning signs after a head injury is examined in hospital straight away, and a scan shows where the blood is and how much.
Nerve examination
The doctor checks alertness, speech, the pupils, strength, balance and coordination, and asks about the injury and every medicine you take.
CT scan of the head
The first and fastest test — it shows fresh bleeding clearly.
MRI scan
Gives more detail, especially of older or smaller bleeds.
A neurotherapist who sees warning signs after a head injury sends the person to hospital at once. LMNT support is only for recovery, once the doctors allow it, and the therapist asks for the scan reports and the full list of medicines — especially blood thinners.
How Neurotherapy sees Brain haematoma (bleeding inside the skull)
In Guruji's teaching, Th + Ch (Thymus + Chest) is used to dry up excess fluid anywhere in the body — and a haemorrhage or haematoma inside the brain is named among its uses. The same point is taught as a painkiller after a blow, and as helping wounds fill.
For paralysis after a blow, LMNT adds TT. Heparin — but only at 10–15 days, once the serum has dried, and never while a wound is open. (TT. Heparin is a hand-pressure formula of LMNT's Heparin family; it is not the heparin injection used in hospitals.) All of this comes after hospital care, never in its place.
Neurotherapy treats according to the condition of the body.
Neurotherapy treatment for Brain haematoma (bleeding inside the skull), step by step
Hospital first
A worsening headache, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, weakness or a fit after a head injury: 108/112 or hospital now. Many haematomas need surgery.
Examine first
Once the doctors allow it, the therapist checks Liv° and Mu°, reads the scan reports, and asks about pregnancy, diabetes, heart or kidney disease and autoimmune illness — each of these bars Th + Ch.
Th + Ch, with the armpits
The breastbone, chest-to-shoulder and armpit contacts, one side completed before the other. When Th + Ch is given, the armpits must be given too.
TT. Heparin — only at 10–15 days
For paralysis after a blow, once the serum has dried and no wound is open. Never earlier.
Points and formulas used
TT. Heparin
LMNT's formula for the deeper or old blow and a haematoma after a blow, led by (8) Th + Ch — given at 10–15 days, once the serum has dried.
Open →Never do this
- A bleed inside the skull is an emergency. Call emergency services (108/112) immediately. LMNT works best alongside your existing medical care — always call emergency services first. After any head injury: a worsening headache, repeated vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, slurred speech, weakness on one side, a fit or unconsciousness — hospital at once, even if it starts days or weeks later.
- LMNT is given only in recovery, once the doctors treating the bleed allow it — never as a reason to delay a scan or surgery.
- Th + Ch is never given in pregnancy, polio or other inflammatory diseases, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, any autoimmune disorder, or kidney disease. Th + Ch
- The armpits, which always go with Th + Ch, are not given in lymph node cancer, polio, diabetes or any autoimmune disorder. Armpit
- No Heparin formula while a wound is open. TT. Heparin waits until 10–15 days, once the serum has dried. open Wounds
- If you take a blood thinner or aspirin, tell your therapist — and never stop or change it yourself; only your doctor decides.
- Children and babies with a head injury go to a doctor first. In LMNT, children get half the adult dose and light treatment only, given by a trained therapist.
- Cancer: if the person has cancer, (10) Pan, Thymus, Pit, Lu + Sh, Rt. Ov / Lt. Ov and (30) Medulla are never given — the therapist changes the plan.
- Keep taking the medicines your doctor prescribed. Neurotherapy works alongside your medical care, never instead of it.
Test yourself
What research says
- Strong evidence
A subdural haematoma forms when thin bridging veins between the brain and its covering tear. Chronic haematomas are mostly a problem of older adults, often with no remembered injury, and a plain CT scan of the head is the first test.

No clinical trial of Neurotherapy for brain haematoma has been published yet. Improvements reported by neurotherapists are clinical observations.
For you
Older adults and their families
A small fall can cause a slow bleed that shows up weeks later as headache, confusion, memory loss or a change in behaviour. Mention any recent fall to the doctor.
People on blood thinners
Even a mild head knock needs a doctor's check. Never stop the medicine yourself.
Everyone
Wear a helmet on a two-wheeler, buckle your seat belt, and use a child seat for small children.
