Hi Bertie, have you heard of this herb, Arnica (Arnica montana)? I've done some research but still not sure. I'm due to have some surgery done and was considering to using this for the bruising and swelling. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Julie , Bertie not on site much at the moment ,,, arnica is indeed wnoderful for bruising and sprains sore muscles etc ,, my understanding of the use of arnica either by mouth or applied is good for bruising and promotes healing , but never take it before surgery as it can interfere with the knitting of the wounds and can cause prolonged bleeding , my understanding is one has to allow time for the wounds to settle a bit , then start to deal with the taking of it ... better so if Bertie does not come online soon consult a homeopathic pharmacy .. they will give good advice ...
Thanks for that Sandy. I have since found out that the tablet has been taken off the market, bad side effects. I didn't go down this route after all, thank goodness. The cream is still widely used and I believe is very good.
Thanks again for your reply, keep well
