You Need Arnica in Your Homeopathic First Aid Kit

Arnica montana (also known as Leopard's Bane, Sneezewort, Mountain Tobacco) is the remedy of choice for physical trauma. It reduces pain and hastens recovery time from injuries or surgery.

It is used topically in creams or salves as a whole-plant herbal preparation and is taken internally as a homeopathic remedy. It is also a useful and popular addition to massage oils.

For injuries, the cream can be applied directly to the affected area (unbroken skin only) to help reduce or eliminate bruising, swelling, and pain. It can also be applied to "old" bruises to speed healing.

Taken in homeopathic form (pills under the tongue), Arnica promotes the healing of injured tissues and helps to control bleeding.
