The Benefits of Arnica Montana

arnica montana

Arnica montana is an herbal remedy for bruising. It is also known under the names of mountain tobacco, mountain arnica, common arnica, leopard's bane, sneezewort, and just plain arnica. It is a perennial plant with rather pretty orange-yellow flowers and is a member of the Aster family of flowering plants, which is the same botanical family as daisies and asters.

Arnica has been used in Europe for centuries as a homeopathic remedy to treat swelling, soreness, and bruising. However, the plant should never be eaten raw, since it can cause intestinal bleeding and abdominal cramps. Sublingual (under the tongue) preparations are the most often recommended for plastic surgery. When properly used, arnica may decrease healing time and reduce bruising. Be sure to follow the package directions.

There are many formulations of arnica available in natural food stores and on the internet. Make sure to use only products from reputable makers of homeopathic remedies.

Check with your plastic surgeon before you use any herbal or homeopathic preparation. Not all surgeons approve of the use of homeopathic products or herbal remedies for use during breast augmentation recovery.
