This is one of the first
remedies people use and find effective in Homoeopathy. It is used for bumps, bangs, shock and bruising.
When someone says go away I am fine, after an accident, that is shock and
Arnica could be the first remedy you use. Their skin could also be cold and
clammy from the shock. I use Arnica for almost any accident, it helps reduce
swelling and it gives pain relief and is great after operations.
Those egg shaped bruises
on the forehead? Arnica.
Do not put onto open
skin (Arnica cream, oil), as it is poisonous. Give Arnica internally is the
skin is broken.
I also use it if for someone
doing strenuous exercise i.e. a marathon, bike race etc. I give it before and afterwards;
it will help reduce physical fatigue and shock to the body.
I also recommend it in
labour (200 potency) to be taken hourly during the labour.
