ARNICA and plastic surgery
There is much more positive research on Arnica than is publically known, including a study that showed benefit from Arnica after facial plastic surgery.
Published in: _Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery_, vol. 8, Jan./Feb. 2006, p. 5459: Effect of Homeopathic _Arnica montana_ on Bruising in Face-Lifts, by Brook M. Seeley et al. This was an institutional review board-approved, randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Arnica montana. THE RESULTS WERE HIGHLY STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.
On Post-op Day 1 the placebo group had on average 26% more square cm of bruising than did the Arnica group _P_P<0.0003).
