    In the present work, the healing effect of the homeopathic medicines Arnica montana and Calendula officinalis, administered after the induction of cutaneous trauma in Wistar rats, divided into four groups according to the treatment was evaluated. In group 1, Arnica montana CH6 was used; in group 2, Calendula officinalis CH6; in group 3, the association of Arnica montana CH6 and Calendula officinalis CH6; and group 4 was treated with alcoholic solution (Control group). All animals, regardless of the healing phase, were euthanized on the seventh day of treatment. The results obtained macroscopically with the use of Arnica montana were significantly better than those of the other groups, showing better healing. Then came the animals treated with Calendula officinalis and the combination of the medicines Arnica montana and Calendula officinalis, whose results were similar to those of the control group at several of the evaluated moments. No animal showed behavioral change, nor was there any sign of intoxication with any of the treatments.
