Have you ever heard of Arnica? My mom and gradma used to use it on us all the time when we were little. My dad calls it mexican voodoo medicine. I'm currently sitting here on the metro just reading my book and low and behold there it is in black and white. "bound up her foot with arnica..." Wonder what my dad would say if he knew they used arnica in the time that Little Women was written. Nope pops it was not Los Senoritas pequenas (not sure of the spelling) Lol.
