I like arnica very much for bruises, and I have recently learned it is supposed to be very good for scars, too. I also like calendula for scrapes, cuts, etc. But I use them in ointments, rather than those little pellets. I did use some pellets once on one of my dog's ear infection, and it did seem to work. I rely on so many other things like herbs and essential oils that I have never looked into finding vegan homeopathic pellets for my own use, and yet I am sure they would be effective, as the ointments sure are. Arnica reduces the appearance of a bruise in a day or two, as opposed to a week or more when left untreated. I know becasue I tried it once when I got several bruises at the same time, and only put arnica on one. It went away in about three days, while the untreated bruises took a week.
Don't use arnica on broken skin, though.

just got soooooo confused, reading the daily mirror of all tomes (lol) - apparently homeopathy is 'treating like with like', as in treating an allergy to cats (how do such people live?!) with really really really watered down cat fur essence; whereas tictures and tinkerings of a herbal nature are 'herbal medecine'- a different ballgame entirely... was it just me being blonde (again), or do others consider homeopathy to be herbal medecine? cheers Ali
