Summary: Simple remedy for trauma and shock
Comment: I originally started using homeopathic arnica because of all the bumps and bruises that my children would get. If they would fall down and start crying, they wanted "Mommy's little sugar pills" because they knew they would make them feel better. They also really like the way the way the tablets taste because they are a little bit of milk sugar that quickly dissolves in the mouth.

Arnica is good for any type of trauma and shock. We even use it successfully with jet lag, because there is a certain amount of trauma and shock associated with traveling.

When I had surgery, I was able to avoid all post surgical pain medication with the use of arnica. The nurses were astounded, and thought I was one of the toughest people they had ever met. A top plastic surgery clinic in Indianapolis even recommends arnica before and after the surgery!

This is one remedy I always make sure I have in my purse. I once heard someone say "God made arnica so we would learn about natural medicine."

If you are new to homeopathic remedies, it is best if the remedy is not touched. So I simply tip the bottle over into the lid and then tip the lid into the mouth, or a bit of water. It's also best if the you don't eat or drink anything else 15 minutes before or after taking a homeopathic remedy.

If you have small children, I also recommend Hyland's Teething Tablets, 125 tablets (Pack of 4), and Hyland's Colic Tablets, 125 tablets (Pack of 3).

If you are a new parent, I recommend you study the vaccine debate. My favorite DVD on the subject is Vaccines: What CDC Documents and Science Reveal, and my two favorite true life stories of a child that was harmed by vaccines, and luckily recovered is He's Not Autistic But...: How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss and Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism.

Summary: Healthy alternative to anti-imflammatories
Comment: Someone turned me on to Arnica more than 10 years ago when I was suffering from a severe flare-up of the tendinitis in my shoulder. I didn't want to take any more Aleve, because all that naproxsen sodium is bad for your body, but I was in severe pain and couldn't move my arm. I left the job site and went straight to a health food store and in 2 days, I was moving my arm better than I had since the injury 2 years prior. I started looking in homeopathy (which literally means "like with like", you treat a symptom with something, that in it's raw form, would cause the same symptom) and other natural remedies after that. Arnica Montana is used to help reduce swelling and inflammation (symptoms of excess blood flow to an area) and has become a staple in my medicine cabinet for any back or knee pain. I recommend it to EVERYONE! My son has used it when coming home from with pain from rough activities and just recently my 83 yr old mother took a very bad fall and her doctor recommended Arnica to help reduce the bruising and inflammation. Everyone should be using this product.

Summary: Speedy healing for bruising
Comment: I was suggested to take this a few days before my breast reduction surgery and for ten days after to reduce swelling and bruising by many individuals on www.breasthealthonline.com.

Having been one week post op, I've been getting many compliments on how fast my bruising is going away. I still have swelling, but am not too suprised about that. I would recommend this for anyone going through surgery that envolves bruising post op.

They are very very small tablets you put under your tongue to dissolve four times a day (four tablets each time). Haven't had any side affects, only bruising that is going away easily!

Summary: Simply amazing
Comment: I was at a plastic surgeon's office one day, learning a technique in skin care. He told the patient that she needed to buy some of this "Arnica Montanicum" so that her bruising would resolve quickly. He told the next patient that if he used this orally BEFORE and AFTER surgery there was a good chance he would bruise less. I sort of stored the information away and later got a tube of it as a gel with a free little bottle of the pills in a gift pack.
AMAZING. Bruises that looked deep and purple, like blueberries at the crook of my arm, were just pale yellow and barely visible in 48 hours.

The next month, I tried the little pills, thinking they wouldn't really work as well. (I had given my gel to a friend with a huge, nasty bruise but knew I was going to have a horrible bruise after walking into the bureau. HARD.) I kept up the dosing as they taste just fine (little bits of sugar actually) and was amazed at how my muscle pain resolved quickly (I hadn't even counted on that) and I never did form a real bruise. As I take aspirin, I used to always have bruises all over me. I don't have a bruise on me today.

BTW, the surgery patient went back to her eye doctor and he said "Wow! You don't have a bruise on you. That's amazing."
She told him she took the Arnica and he smiled. Then he had to make the typical allopathic comment about "No controlled studies proving Arnica's utility."

Right, unless you count the 100 + years of Homeopathic experience with it. So patronizing, some of these guys.

The only reason, Mr. M.D., that there isn't a "controlled study", at least one you might have read, is that there isn't any huge money in it for the pharmaceutical giants.

So, this is not to be construed as medical advice, but if you would like to try something benign to avoid or treat bruising and pain, give it a try.

Remember to always tell your doctor and pharmacist about herbal or homeopathic meds!
