Family Health/Natural Medicine: Be Prepared!
Here is a really good recipe for Arnica creme. Arnica is a great first aid herb. It helps heal and remove pain from strained and sprained ligaments, tendons, and muscles. It reduces swelling, is antibacterial, and has rubefacients. Rubefacient herbs are anagesic (pain relieving) and aid in healing by increasing circulation to the affected area. Be careful. This herb is only supposed to be used topically. It is poisonous when taken internally.
Blessings!
