A 1.5-2 oz. infusion of arnica flowers (Arnica montana, since the Genus is capitalized and the species is lower-cased) blended with comfrey (Symphytum officinale), allowed to cool, then poured into a 24-24.5 oz bottle of whatever your favorite hand lotion is (remember to take about 3 oz of lotion out before pouring the 2 oz of infusion into the bottle), shaken vigorously to mix it all together, can work wonders on bruises, greatly reducing the time for bruises to heal. Arnica is not safe to ingest since studies have confirmed cardiac toxicity from arnica ingestion, though application to the skin is not contraindicated. However, there have been reports of sensitivity when exposed to the sun for prolonged periods. Additionally, a regiment of eating fresh pineapple 3 x per day, starting a few days before scening will help.
