I thought I would do a post on the # 1 Trauma remedy known as Arnica montana, homework from last month but good to know info...
Arnica montana is widely used
for any level of shock, trauma, emotional issues developed from an accident,
contusions, bruising muscular and purpura type wounds that bleed, sprains,
strains, dislocations, tinnitus, post surgical (with caution), dental and for
chilblains when the skin is unbroken.
Arnica can be used for hoarseness from overuse of the voice and aids
singers. Arnica has also been used
for childbirth. Arnica is well
known to promote healing shortly after any of the above listed. It can help the blood reabsorb back to
the capillaries damaged from bleeding. Arnica has been proven to help with gout, rheumatisms and arthritis.
If
you never quite ‘heal’ from an injury it can be helpful taken orally. With an open wound or abrasion, never
use the cream. Arnica should never
be applied hot but in remedy form. Eye injuries would require this form for example. Arnica is fast
acting, taken as soon as possible
or a day later. It is considered a “tough Superman” remedy when your child, friend or family member says, " don't touch me, I am fine" and you know they are not! *
Topically it is usually diluted by 10%, use with caution.
This is what Arnica montana looks like in its natural form as a plant which is considered a flower. It is called Arnica for short and commonly known as Leopards Bane in our Materia Medica from the Compositae family.

I have been so busy with study I have yet to figure out how to add the link that takes you to the page I found the picture on so I hope everyone understands. Some day I will figure that out and become wiser!
