Nature's remedy for bumps and bruises
If you bump your leg into the coffee table or drop something on your foot, reach for arnica. The herbal extract brims with tissue-healing compounds. Swiss scientists say applying arnica gel to a fresh ouch halts pain and swelling in 5 minutes. And applying it four times daily for three days stops a bruise from forming.

Alleviate knee pain with EVOO massages
Between chilly temperatures, shoveling snow and trying to stay steady on icy sidewalks, it's no wonder knee pain flares up at this time of year. To the rescue: extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Credit goes to the oil's rich stores of a powerful natural anti-inflammatory called oleocanthal.

This simple trick has the power to boost healing blood flow and loosen tight muscles and tendons, cutting knee discomfort in half, say Concordia University investigators.
