Arnica is great stuff! I took it for a couple of days before I had some painful dental work done some years ago, and my healing time was a snap. Hope your bruise responds nicely.
Yes, I'm a senior, too, and periodically I decide that I'm falling apart. Of course, this started in my early forties. Little did I know about falling apart in those days!
It's a homeopathic derived from a species of the daisy plant.Used to prevent excessive bruising,bleeding,pain and trauma.Can be used topically or internally.I have heard of it but never used it so don't know if it works.I have read that what is sold OTC doesn't contain enough of the concentrate to be effective.Lots of pros and cons as with most other homeopathic remedies.It can be prescribed by a doctor but has to be monitored closely.
