Donna,

Arnica is an herb with anti-inflammatory and some healing properties.
It is toxic to swallow unless in homeopathic form.
Here is Dr. Weil on arnica:

I bought the homeopathic tablets. I don't know if she will take them.


I also bought Traumeel cream.

It has other herbs in addition to arnica.
The package says for mild to moderate pain. Maybe it will help her.
