Arnica

We use arnica for bruises at our place, and with two little boys, there's a fair bit of it. I think it helps.

We also use comfrey for strains and sprains etc. Actually, those two are important parts of the first aid kit we take when we go camping mainly because you don't want to be damaged on a camping trip, and if it's a serious injury, you want to be able to do every little thing you can for it while you're trying to get help.

I keep both pill and gel form on hand and use it on all variety of boo boos. Either it works or my kids just don't bruise or feel pain after a minute or 2.

Actually, my PS suggested taking it orally for a week before my surgery, and for some time after. I did - and had zero bruising.
