BTW, I use arnica around my mouth, for a few days prior to getting fillers! Then I keep it on after with ice. Really works for brusing. Several of my friends surgeon's hd them use it after surgery, for swelling and brusing.
@shoekitty which brand on Amazon? My mom is a big time bruiser and just had knee replacement surgery on Wednesday. I am thinking she will need a 3 pack! LOL. TIA

I get the Boiron Arnica. It is a pure french arnica. I think it is the most widly used and the best IMO. I used another brand once and both my husband and I agreed it wasn't as effective. Maybe the % of Arnica they use is more, IDK...but I love it.
it comes in a gel and cream. I like the cream, my husband prefers the gel. IMO the cream seems to stay longer for joint and muscle pain. The gel is what I use for bruising. It absorbs readily, in seconds.

@shoekitty thanks!! Maybe I will get 1 of each since she will have both pain and bruising. Then she can pick which she likes best before I buy a 3 pack.

I've been using Boiron (brand) Arnica gel for years (& also their Calendula).
Arnica is AMAZING for bruising & for using immediately after you bump or bang a part of the body. The key to it's great results is applying it as soon as possible when you have an issue. It not only keeps the bruising down to a minimum (or not at all), but it helps take away the pain.
Boiron Calendula gel is a wonderful healer. I apply to skins issues like burns, etc.
Btw, I bought my last tube of Boroin Arnica gel at Amazon...Subscribe & Save price was $6.19 for 1 large tube. That Amazon program gives you a 15% discount on Subscribe & Save eligible items when you order 3 different items. I normally order from Vitacost (great prices), but this time it was cheaper at Amazon.
