~Arnica-A gift for the bruised~

Common Name: Arnica
Latin Name: Arnica montana

 Arnica is one of the first herbs that comes to mind when a bruise plays it's colorful pattern across the skin.  It has also been used for reducing inflammation, healing wounds, and soothing muscles aches.  It is not to be taken internally as it can have nasty side effects, instead it is applied topically as a cream, ointment, liniment, salve or tincture.
