Great for bruises!
by Katie on May 28, 2013

I had never heard of Arnica until I moved to Mexico a few years ago. My Mexican mother-in-law always has a salve made of Arnica in the medicine cabinet. Any time one of her sons would fall, bump or bang themselves she would run over with the Arnica and rub it on the spot. Most of the time the bruise would not even form. Now that I have a three year old son who is constantly climbing trees, running and falling etc I have proved many times over the power of Arnica. I just rub a little Arnica on the skin and it prevents the bruise! It is absolutely amazing! My sons preschool even has it in their first aid kit so that when a child falls they can rub it on them! Every mother should have arnica! A must have in the medicine cabinet!

Arnica: WONDERFUL for diabetic foot problems
by Miriam Cameron on May 15, 2012

My dear neighbor has had horrible foot problems for years due to her diabetes. This included swelling, and infection. When her husband went to the hospital after a heart attack i tried to cheer her up by giving her a "spa day". I soaked her feet in Arnica infusion and the next day her feet looked so much better!! I was originally nervous to use it on her feet because some skin looked broken but it was not very bad, so I gave it a shot and it turned out fantastic! Arnica is used to move pooled blood and it made the swelling go down. I believe a mixture of the hot Arnica infusion and the pooled up blood finally moving is what killed the infection.

I have recently started learning about herbs and their many uses. I live in an area rich with wild plants and herbs, and it amazes me to think they were here under my nose all this time and I thought they were just weeds! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You truly have a great ministry in what you are doing. ~Lisa
