We found this stuff at the supermarket, and I was looking for something with Arnica in it, so bought it.
Having used it several times since, I feel it's worthy of a review. This stuff is just awesome! It smells lovely, goes on nicely, and eases the pain at the time, and I'm sure makes the bruise clear up faster then it would without it.
It's even made in NZ, which is pretty cool.
Copied from container:

Their website kind of sucks, but it's found here http://fixmenaturally.com/
I think I'll be trying this, based on your review! Clumsy me, I'm a bruise-magnet! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I will definitely try if I can find it. As I get older and my skin becomes thinner, I bruise easily. I'll notice a bruise, yet have no idea how I got it. And if I do bump myself hard enough to notice, I get a huge, dark bruise. In June I had oral surgery which was likely to cause "mild bruising" ---but I had a bruise from my nose to the bottom of my neck and half-way to my ear on the right side of my face ---and it lasted for weeks. My husband wouldn't leave the house with me, afraid someone would report him for abuse.
