Arnica Montana (Bruising/Swelling)

Arnica Montana is a homeopathic medication used for bruising, swelling, and pain associated with injuries, including surgery. It has been proven to decrease bruising after surgery or procedure, including botox and fillers, and can be found in topical or sublingual oral 30x potency forms. Dr. Hustak has both available to speed the recovery process.

SurgiLax (Digestion/Constipation)

One of the most common post-operative complaints after surgery is constipation. This is usually multifactorial (dehydration, inactivity, narcotic pain medication slowing of digestions, change in eating). Straining to have a bowel movement and abdominal discomfort associated with constipation can be more easily remedied with the digestive herbal supplement SurgiLax, which includes cascara sagrada. These tabs are vegetarian and gluten free and are a natural post-operative constipation remedy. It also included digestive promoting and friendly supplements, ginger, peppermint, and milk thistle, to assist in getting your GI system back on track after surgery.
