Bruises

I got this really bad bruise yesterday. It's swelled and turned green. Is there anything (besides ice) that will help reduce the time it will take to heal?

    You can try Arnica Gel - A fellow runner recommended it to me for muscle soreness and it actually says it can speed the healing of bruises. I've never used it for a bruise but I guess it couldn't hurt to try.

    I found mine at just a pharmacy but most health food stores have it too.
