Arnica for Bruises
A few years ago, while preparing for the birth of my 2nd child, my midwife suggested I take two herbs in the weeks preceding the birth; Chlorophyll for the excessive bleeding I experience at birth, and Arnica to keep my cervix from swelling.
I’d heard of Chlorophyll, but Arnica was a new one for me. After some investigation I found that Arnica was good for soothing all kinds of injuries. Now, I keep it on me at all times, as part of a traveling first aid kit. At the first sign of any injury (bruising, small scrapes, stings, etc.), I dab a bit of Arnica on the wound to sooth the pain and speed the healing.
Bruises, even if they are already beginning to appear, will almost always completely disappear within a few hours. My kids ask for Arnica to soothe the pain of a minor bump all the time.
Arnica, it works for me.

I've never heard of Arnica? Where can I get some? I wish I had known about it in my daughter's younger years, when she was so accident prone. lol She's not as bad as she used to be, but she's still clumsy. Right now she has a black eye from running in the house. She ran into her brother and her glasses cut around her eye.
