Arnica Montana Not Good for First Time Rhinoplasty?

August 17, 2012
Asked By:anonymous733 in Chicago, IL

I had rhinoplasty two days ago. When I asked about Arnica Montana, here was my nurse's response: "Please stop arnica, we did a study on patients who were having their nose done for the first time and the end result was those that took Arnica pills had more bleeding, bruising and swelling. The product it should not be ingested and is meant to be used in a cream base form." I understand that I am to follow what my doctor says, but this seems to be a huge discrepancy. Please help.
