Have you added homeopathic medicines to your first aid kit? The recommendations for bandages, emergency blanket, nonlatex gloves, thermometer, etc. from the Red Cross are all important items.

However, when an accident occurs, you will be relieved and less anxious if you have some homeopathic remedies on hand to help soothe pain, reduce swelling, and limit bruising, and you'll even be better prepared to treat shock symptoms.

Arnica montana (Leopard?s bane) is a perennial yellow-orange flower that is native to the mountains of Europe and Siberia. Arnica in its homeopathic form is highly diluted making it a safe and gentle medicine able to stimulate the body to heal itself.

Arnica montana is one of our first medicines to consider when an accident happens. Arnica is not only used to reduce bruising and help with pain, it can also help with head injuries, bone injuries and stress injuries.

Speaking of reducing bruising, there are many plastic surgeons that recommend using Arnica montana after surgery for this very reason!

How about the occasional "over doing it" in the garden or "weekend warrior" activity. I like to use Arnica to relieve that occasional beat up feeling the day of or even the next day after over doing it.

How about the pain connected to orthodontics. Your child can take one dose right before their appointment and then after when and if there is pain.

If the pain is intense, take it every 20-30 minutes and then start backing off to every 2-3 hours or even less often depending on the intensity of the pain. Then stop taking it all together when there is no more pain.

Arnica montana is definitely a remedy you will want in your first aid kit as well as in your medicine cabinet!
