Earlier in the week in my hurry to do the school run, I slammed the boot of the car whilst forgetting to lean back and, yes you guessed it, the big heavy boot of the car came crashing down on the bridge of my nose!
It was a pure Tom and Jerry moment (although at that moment I didn’t find it funny)! I am convinced there really were stars floating around my head as the whole world went dark and I thought my nose had been spread from ear to ear.
With what must have been a surge of adrenalin, I managed to pick up the children, get home, struggle through the front door, get to my bathroom and find my SBC Arnica. This I liberally and VERY tenderly applied!
Afterwards I sat there feeling very bruised and sorry for myself – but now all you can see is the cut. All I can say is thank goodness for Arnica!
Love Pipa x

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which is particularly painful in my hands and feet. If I don't apply SBC Arnica gel before going to sleep i guarantee I will wake up in the night in pain.

I too fell at a petrol station on an oily patch and managed to scratch up my knee and leg with about 8" of cuts and grazes - after a shower snd TCP, Arnica gel applied very liberally then and over the following few days - no bruising whatsoever!
