I just began to use it. You get a roll on or a balm or straight essential oil you can mix with what is termed a carrier oil - i use sweet almond oil but olive oil is fine too.
I didn't have to wait long to test it - I turned into a door frame the next day carrying towels from the dryer and banged my forearm.
I mix it in a little plastic container with a lid intended for condiments. I try to mix a solution that is maybe 3 teaspoons all together - 2 tsps of carrier oil and one dropper of the essential oil. That is based on reading a lot about strengths. A lot of people report they just do full strength and i may work up to that.
You should test it on your arm - I put some in the crook of my elbow because it is less likely to get inadvertently wiped off there. Give it a while to make sure you don’t get hives or itchy, etc.

I am going to show two pics - one the day it happened and one four days later. I don't know how fast anyone else heals, but this event would typically take four weeks to fade. This seems significantly faster. One time is not proof and it isn’t magic but it is better than Arnica.

I use this and it's great! Thanks for posting the pics so people can see how phenomenal this product is!

Thanks for the tip! I just purchased some. I’m pretty happy with Arnica but if this works faster to heal, I’m in!

Okay! I'm dealing with a 77 year old child who worked in the sun since he was 8 years old (growing up on a farm) played sports all the way thru college and still plays competitive sports on two teams, still works (despite my begging him to retire!) in a field he LOVES which requires him to be outside. His skin is literally FRIED! After years of begging, pleading, and nagging him to wear sunblock, he thought he knew better. Cancer spots on his face - check. Tissue thin skin on his arms, bruising and bleeding under the skin - check. Our dermatologist suggested intense moisturizers, Dermend, sunblock, "no arms exposed to sunlight," etc., etc., Soooooo. I purchased a bottle of Helichrysum oil and coconut oil and mixed 8 drops of the essential oil into 1 oz. of the coconut oil, handed it to my hubby and said, USE it! Yesterday was day one. I'll keep you posted!
