This is probably homeopathy’s best-known remedy. The humble mountain daisy is a godsend to help manage trauma in all its forms from bumps and bruises to emotional shock, and including injuries, falls and blows.
Taken immediately after physical trauma, Arnica will help prevent swelling; if taken later it’ll speed the healing and help bring the bruise out. In addition to its physical benefits, Arnica addresses the shock of the trauma. Think of Arnica if your child falls and then there’s an ominous silence before the screams begin; the silence is the shock and Arnica will ease it. In older children and adults, think of Arnica when there has been any kind of trauma, but the person insists “I’m fine!” and resists help.
Arnica helps relieve muscular soreness from accidents or from overdoing things. For the person needing Arnica, the soreness might lead to restlessness and difficulty finding the right spot in bed as everything feels too hard. Arnica speeds the healing and relieves the pain.
