How to Treat Bumps and Bruises Naturally and FAST!

What family fun! Your 1yo baby is taking her first tentative steps! She gets so excited that she stops concentrating and falls forward – her mouth landing square on the edge of the coffee table. Next a whimper, a very long silence, and a wail that pierces the heart. Her lip swells up immediately. Poor little thing. Every time she drinks her milk or sucks her thumb she cries. Yes, parenting is full of challenges. But you and your child don't have to suffer from bumps and bruises anymore. As a parent of ten children, we've had our share of injuries with which to deal. Let us give you a little parenting advice on how you can your little one's pain go away fast and get back to family fun!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• homeopathic Arnica Montana Ointment, cream, lotion or oil
• homeopathic Arnica Montana 30C

1. As soon as possible after the injury, we get our homeopathic Arnica Montana Ointment out of our closet full of natural medicines.
   
   What? You aren't familiar with homeopathic remedies? Better order some Arnica online quick to have on-hand for next time you need it. Arnica is made with the plant, Wolf's Bane, sugar and water and is perfectly safe. It comes in a variety of forms. Be sure you get the ointment for lips and diaper area, cream, lotion or oil for other places.
2. Using our ring finger, we very gently rub as thin a layer of the Arnica Montana as you can on the injury. It's difficult to press too hard with the ring finger. No child likes to have his “ow-ie” touched so this is a tender process.
3. We put 1-3 pellets of Arnica Montana 30C under their tongue instructing them to just let it sit there until it's dissolved. If our child is just a wee little one we dissolve the pellets in ½ teaspoon warm water and give it to him to drink. We don't allow him to drink anything else before or after the remedy as it *lessens* its effects.
4. Once one of our daughters ran right into the corner of a wall. In the 15 seconds it took me to run downstairs to her, a big goose egg had risen on her forehead. When swelling and bruising comes on very suddenly like this, we apply topical Arnica and give it orally every 15 minutes or so. If it is a more typical, less serious injury we do it every two hours or so continuing for about four doses. Then we switch to giving the topical and oral Arnica three times a day for a few days. Amazingly, the goose egg on our daughter's forehead almost immediately starting shrinking and was not noticeable after the third dose of Arnica.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep a container of Arnica Montana 30C in your pocket or purse for emergencies and, God forbid, car accidents.
• It's a very good idea to keep the remedies out of reach of children, not because they are dangerous but because once your child has had any homeopathic remedies he may consider it to be candy since it tastes sweet.
