800-1000mg. for optimum results. Recommended: 2 capsules per day for 3 days before & 7 days after. You can also drink pineapple juice. (Just not the day of surgery)
Arnica Montana has been used in Europe for centuries to treat swelling, soreness and bruising. Arnica may significantly decrease healing time or the appearance of such (bruising, swelling, etc.).
There is a stronger formulation that many plastic surgeons do recommend for their patients. SinEcch may speed healing time after a planned trauma like plastic surgery. Of course not all patients will respond the same or receive the benefits of SinEcch. For your convenience, you can order (SinEcch) Through Alpine Pharmaceuticals www.alpinepharm.com *SinEcch (Dosage regiment is custom designed.)
Homeopathic medicines are not FDA approved, and they aren’t because supplements and vitamins and such aren’t. Only the dyes and preservatives are regulated by the FDA. Just use your best judgment and ask around to see what other patients found worked for them, perhaps SinEcch, Bromelain and other remedies may help you as well.
