Feeling sore or bruised from all the yardwork happening these days? Consider the homeopathic remedy arnica to relieve those aches and pains. Arnica 30c in pellet form or a topical product which contains arnica has been shown to lessen the duration and intensity of overworked muscles. Arnica is also very helpful for swelling, post workout soreness, after accidents (bumps and bruises), and is also used to ward of jet lag after a long and strenuous journey. Did you know that Arnica is even prescribed by many surgeons for post surgical healing? Best to consult with a qualified practitioner before embarking on any new therapy. You can find these remedies in your local health food store, it is the most important remedy in my first aid kit!
