In homeopathy, more than ever, the treatment of a bruise orhematoma must be carried out as soon as possible after the fall or blow to be effective. The reference homeopathic strain for bruises isArnica montana. The sooner you take it after the shock, the lower the dilution you should use. Ideally, take one dose of Arnica montana 5 CH immediately after the blow. This is followed byArnica montana 5 CH granules at a dose of 5 every quarter-hour for the first hour, then every hour, spaced out as the pain improves.
