I found Traumeel by Heel BioTherapeutics to be invaluable, in both liquid and cream forms. It's a blend of homeopathics for healing after a trauma.
It's great for reducing swollen tissues before suturing, after birth, reducing hemorrhoids, a few drops under the tongue every 15 minutes. For baby's bruised little noggin I rub the cream on, and if baby had a rough trip down and looks blown away 1 drop in the mouth every 15. It's amazing to see the little banana heads and caputs decrease in minutes.
I also keep a bottle in my purse and take it to my son's football and baseball games. My husband has one in his tool box for work, he's always hurting himself. I keep one in the medicine cabinet for kid bumps and bruises. I kept a bottle of water, with 15 drops shaken up, by my husbands bed after he got hit by an SUV off his bicycle. It's amazing stuff.
