I'm trying to be as prepared as possible. Can arnica tablets & the turmeric herb help in bruising & swelling? Also I was going to use coconut oil on my scar is there anything that you'd recommend instead? Lastly is it true that the tighter the skin is pulled may result in less swelling?
Answer: Arnica for surgery I recommend Arnica Montana and Bromelain Before and After SurgeryBromelain is a botanical extract with natural anti-inflammatory and other beneficial properties. It can help decrease inflammation, swelling and pain that often accompany a surgical procedure.Arnica Montana has been touted as causing decreased bruising, swelling and pain associated with surgery or soft tissue injury. with our homeopathic Arnica Montana. For a thorough explanation of the beneficial effects of Bromelain, see the below link to an article I wrote on the subjectThe optimal dosage is not known. I would recommend purchasing it from a company that specializes in pre-surgical medicines such as Vitamedica. You can contact my office if you are not able to find it elsewhere.

Answer: Arnica tablets? Hello! Thank you for your question! The recommendations for the use of these homeopathic medications are surgeon preference. I typically suggest use Arnica to decrease swelling and bruising. It is an herbal medication that is propagated from the seeds of an herb. I, as well as my patients, have seen some benefit with the treatment in the postoperative period. Although there is little evidence to its effectiveness, I believe there is some benefit, but no harm. I recommend 4-5 tablets under the tongue 4x/day for 3-5 days prior and 5-7 days after the procedure. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
