General Information

Bellis Perennis (Bell-p.) is similar to Arnica montana (Arn.) in that it is a useful remedy for bruises, sprains, and injuries. The pains feel bruised and sore, and may be relieved by movement and rubbing the affected area. It’s a remedy to consider when Arnica fails to help.

Bell-p. is used for pain from trauma and bruising to the deeper tissues during surgery, especially of the abdomen and pelvic area, and aids in recovery. It’s also useful for swelling following injury or surgery, especially if Arnica montana hasn’t helped.

The person needing Bell-p. may experience ailments from rapid chilling by cold air, cold drinks, or getting wet, when hot. They may also crave pickled foods.
