Assessing the Effectiveness of Arnica montana and Rhododendron tomentosum (Ledum palustre) in the Reduction of Ecchymosis and Edema After Oculofacial Surgery: Preliminary Results
Abstract
This retrospective study assessed topical Arnica montana and Rhododendron tomentosum (Ledum palustre) hydrogel pads for reducing postoperative ecchymosis (bruising) and edema (swelling) after oculofacial surgery in 27 patients. Patients using Arnica/Ledum showed significantly more frequent markedly accelerated healing than expected, with no adverse effects, suggesting the combination may reduce postoperative bruising and swelling.
