Even my OB recommended Arnica to help after the C-sect. I had a spray version. Just a couple of sprays orally every hour to start with.

And LOTS of rest. Do you have someone to come and help while you're recovering emz?]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:21:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344370&title=what-heals-wounds#344370 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344341&title=what-heals-wounds#344341 Author: Shorty

We use a lot of Calendula and arnica in our house. The only thing is the calendula is a slow healing cream....but I use it on everything!]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 10:42:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344341&title=what-heals-wounds#344341 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344332&title=what-heals-wounds#344332 Author: ShellandBella

arnica tablets are great for shock, bumps, bruises etc. i always give me ones arnica before jabs etc and a dose after. also good before dental work etc.
cream for on bruises and lumps/bumps.
calendula and hypericum creams are good for cuts, grazes etc.

you can make calendula oil by getting a bag of calendula tea from health shop, put few tablespoons in a glass jar and fill with oil (anytype) then leave in sun for few days . you can then use the infused oil for cuts rashes etc.]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 10:00:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344289&title=what-heals-wounds#344289 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344260&title=what-heals-wounds#344260 Author: jack_&_charli

[QUOTE=fleury] Calendula cream is good for scraps and cuts, arnica isn't supposed to be used on open wounds.[QUOTE]

Yeah, Calendula is great. You can use the arnica around the wound to stop bruising just don't put it directly on the cut. Hypericum is also great]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:02:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344105&title=what-heals-wounds#344105 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344102&title=what-heals-wounds#344102 Author: Peanut

Zinc and Vit C are good for healing. Arnica you can take in spray or tablet form but you can't put on open wounds. ]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:00:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344102&title=what-heals-wounds#344102 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344050&title=what-heals-wounds#344050 Author: caliandjack

I have been taking arnica spray for the last few days, and my bruises from my iv line have nearly gone. I use the spray a lot and find it really good, but I also rub the cream on bruises and bumps. I wouldnt put the cream on a wound though, but the spray would probably be best for that. ]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:19:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344042&title=what-heals-wounds#344042 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=344037&title=what-heals-wounds#344037 Author: my2angels

What are natural remedies that you know of that helps with healing wounds (like dissolvable stitches etc). I've heard arnica is good? Do you just take it in tablet form or the cream? Anything else? What about foods that are good for healing?

Thanks!]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:03:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15984&PID=343992&title=what-heals-wounds#343992
