The Healing Power of Arnica

December 21, 2022 by wellnesshealthandhome Leave a Comment

Homeopathic Arnica is amazing! It’s used for any bruises and muscle pains. In actuality, I keep a bottle of the stuff in just about every room of our house! And my purse. And the car. It’s seriously some awesome stuff!

When my kiddos get an injury, giving them arnica is like giving them a band-aid. It immediately stops their crying, with the perk of healing their bruises and alleviating some pain.

When my daughter was 1 1/2, she pulled the highchair over to the kitchen island to use it like a ladder. Once she climbed to the top, she attempted to jump onto the island, but the highchair wheeled out from under her. Her face planted into the side of the countertop, and she fell 4 feet to the floor. By the time I had gotten to her to pick her up, her forehead was already purple. We immediately did arnica and by the next day she didn’t even have a mark left!

A few years later my son comes along who is just as crazy and adventurous as his sister! This kiddo was notorious for accidentally smashing his forehead into concrete. The first time, we did arnica and he healed pretty well. The second time he hit the same spot and the bump on his forehead stuck out a bit further. By the 3rd time, my husband had called me panicked from the emergency room parking lot. The poor kid looked like a unicorn – his bump stuck out further than his nose!

Again, Arnica to the rescue! These pictures were taken only 5 hours apart after giving arnica (and only arnica) every 30 minutes for a few hours.

Update –

I did go into the ER and was told there was essentially nothing to be done, but to note that if it happened again and there were signs of a concussion that I should go straight to our Childrens ER downtown instead.

Naturopathically – It was strange that my child was continuously hitting his forehead in the exact same spot. I ended up giving him yarrow as a flower essence to help him become better aware of his physical boundaries and we haven’t had an issue since!
