Arnica montana is a homeopathic remedy that has been widely accepted and adopted within two mainstream communities: plastic surgeons, and runners. But there are so many other communities which are riddled with injury and exercise soreness (athletics, weight training, physical therapy, and orthopedic medicine – to name a few). Why these remedies have not infiltrated these communities is beyond me. Maybe that’s where this article comes in…?
Arnica is so wildly effective for injuries that my own son’s doctor thought he was faking a broken bone since Arnica prevented swelling and bruising completely. What?! I tell this story in the video below, but keep reading for the list of remedies which are known to assist with injuries, soreness, and invasive procedures!
Arnica is a remedy that I always have on hand, even when on the go. But there are many other remedies for injuries that one should consider when faced with an injury or invasive procedure. If you or someone you know sustains an injury, has exercise soreness, or has a procedure coming up, read about these remedies below and choose the one that fits the situation most!
Choose the Best Homeopathic Remedy for Your Injury
- Arnica: For physical, emotional, or mental trauma. Person may be in shock, even denying that they are injured. For direct trauma to the body resulting in bruising, swelling, sprains, and strains. For exercise soreness. Do not apply arnica cream directly to wounds.
