Question

Kiara falls down the stairs just a week before her senior prom. She hits her head and right arm on the way down, causing big purple bruises to well up. Her mother tells her that the best way to treat the bruises is by rubbing them with arnica gel, made from the arnica herb. This herb helps heal bruising to the skin. Kiara does as her mother says and in the pictures of Kiara and her prom date, there are no bruises to be found! Kiara’s mother prescribed treatment in the form of what kind of alternative medicine?
traditional chinese medicine
ayurveda
homeopathy
naturipathy

Answer 1

The prescribed treatment in this scenario would fall under homeopathy, as arnica gel is a commonly used remedy in homeopathic medicine for treating bruises and swelling.
