Homeopathic arnica is the FIRST remedy for any shock or trauma. It is
wonderful for mothers right after childbirth. Homeopathic medicine has
the advantage of being safe for pregnant women, nursing mothers and
children because of the dilution. Arnica cream works nicely on areas
where there's a lot of brusing or injury. Pure arnica shouldn't be
applied to open wounds. We have an excellent cream here in Israel which
contains topical arnica amongst other ingredients which is used for
sore nipples and anal fissures. A homeopathic pharmacist should be able
to make something up using a combination of remedies which will be most
effective.
