I've got to have a general next week as my umbilical hernia is finally being sorted out. Is there any preparation I can do to make it easier on the body ? Homeopathic/herbal etc ? Want to bounce back asap with 2 under 2's !

Arnica is fabulous for both the shock after surgery and helping with bruising. i also used hypericum and calendula tincture in the bath when i could bathe the wound.
hope it goes well
