As promised, today's information is on Arnica, a flowering plant that grows in temperate climates.
Arnica flowers have been used for hundreds of years in homeopathic medicines to treat pain, fever, swelling, poor circulation, muscle aches and more due to the analgesic and antibacterial properties. Their oil is also used in perfumes, cosmetics, hair products and as an additive in certain food products.
Because Arnica is considered poisonous, DIY homeopaths are cautioned to prepare remedies and medications only under the supervision of an experienced homeopathic provider. The amounts of Arnica found in available OTC preparations are extremely dilute. Even so, these products should only be used as directed on the product labels or by your health care provider, and should not be applied to broken skin.
Always alert your health care provider and your pharmacist when you are using this and/or any other homeopathic or OTC medication. Their computer systems are generally equipped with programs to flag any interactions and/or side effects you should be aware of. Though not all homeopathic agents may be in their systems, the only way they can do additional research is if you/we do our part and inform them.
Reports vary widely as to Arnica's effectiveness; however, just as with any medication, what works for one person doesn't always work for the next. I have had great success in treating arthritis pain and inflammation with Arnica products. I also use it topically along my neck and jaw line to relieve pain and soreness from TMJ. I especially like the line of Arnica products created by Boiron and have come to rely on trust their ability to relieve arthritis and other pains.
I especially love the Arnicare Arthritis tablet!
