A Plant to Minimize Bruising

Arnica Montana is a yellow plant endemic to central Europe. It has been used for centuries to treat bruising and swelling.  Arnica comes in topical and oral forms and is often used after procedures to minimize bruising and inflammation. It can also be taken a week prior to Botox, Restylane or Laser treatments to minimize bruising after the procedure. Most arnica supplements can be found at vitamin and natural food stores.
