Arnica
Herbal Remedy
Arnica is known for natural healing, mostly in alternative medicine, not mainstream medical treatments.
Despite my skepticism, the herbal remedy of arnica actually eased my sore muscles.
External Use
Arnica is typically applied to the skin; it's not usually meant to be swallowed.
Make sure to only apply arnica topically—don't ingest it.
Bruise Treatment
Arnica is popularly used for bruises, so it's common to hear it in related conversations.
After bumping into the table, I reached for arnica to prevent a bruise.
