Arnica for horses
Arnica is known to almost everyone as the remedy for bruises and contusions. When arnica is applied directly to the injured area, bruising can be prevented or resolved more quickly. Arnica stimulates blood circulation. Improved blood circulation helps to remove waste products, reduce inflammation, and decrease swelling. Arnica actually stimulates the body's self-healing ability.

Arnica can be used internally and externally
Arnica can be used both internally and externally for horses. Externally, it can be applied to bruises, contusions, or sprains. Internally, it can also be given for bruises, but it is also used for psychological issues (stress, trauma, etc). However, it is important to note that internal use of Arnica is becoming more restricted due to potential side effects. Internal use of Arnica is only recommended after consulting with a homeopathic doctor.
Never use Arnica on open wounds, instead choose a product based on honey or calendula.
