Hi,
I broke my toe the other day and a friend recommended arnica to help with the swelling and bruising. I looked it up on the net to see if there were any side effects and came across a few sites that suggested it may help with controlling sugar levels. I’ve also heard the same of aloe vera juice.
Has anyone tried these and, if so, have you noticed any benefit?
Thanks

I would ask your doctor before trying anything like this. Just because something is 'natural' does not mean it has no adverse effects.
