Arnica — also known as wolf's bane — is a popular at-home remedy for bumps and bruises. It helps reduce inflammation, ease pain, and is thought to promote healthy circulation. It comes as a gel or tincture and can be applied directly to the bruise a few times a day. Even in diluted form, keep it away from broken skin to avoid irritation.
