arnica gel

Herbal bruise treatment

Arnica gel is a topical preparation made from the arnica plant, applied to bruises, sore muscles, and minor injuries to reduce pain and swelling.

It's a staple of natural medicine cabinets: I rubbed some arnica gel on my shoulder after the workout.

Available over the counter, it's popular among athletes and those who prefer herbal remedies.
