Interesting thread. Coincidentally, I am using a bruise remedy item I just found at Rite Aid Pharmacy...it is homeopathic and is called PROcure (bruise remedy). It actually works!
We seniors sometimes find bruises on our arms, and there is no history of banging into anything. I used to be a nurse at a nursing home, and when a patient would get one, we would always be concerned that a family member might assume mistreatment, when it really is something that just normally occurs in the elderly.
Another item I really like and use, often, is called Cold Bee Gone. It is to stop a runny nose....whether from a cold, or just a drippy nose like I sometimes get minus a cold. (Sometimes at mealtime, my nose starts running....dunno why....just started to do that. My late husband complained of that, also, during his last year.)
You just dab a tiny bit on the end of a cotton swab and gently swab the inside of the nostril. It stops the drips in a very short time! I have given several of the tiny boxes of Cold Bee Gone to friends, I love the product! I was getting it at the local health food store, but they don't seem to be able to stock it, now (maybe because of CoVid), so I bought my last box thru Amazon.
Another homeopathic item I used is: Oscillococcinum...it is used for flu symptoms....should be taken at the first sign of flu. A very long time ago, I happened to have a box on hand when I came down with the flu, working with the sick patients at a nursing home. I started taking this product right away and could hardly believe how fast I recovered from the flu. I have not gotten the flu, again, since that time, but I keep Oscilloccinum on hand if I ever get the bug, again! Got it at the health food store.
I know that Big Pharma is very opposed to homeopathic products, so I wonder where you folks obtain items you buy?
I notice at the local healthfood store, they have quite an assortment.
