Why Arnica is the #1 First Aid Remedy and the World's Top-Selling Natural Homeopathic Medicine
I think it's fair to say that this has been my hardest working summer ever. So when I decided that – after eight weeks of office work and no exercise – I would go on a 16-mile-long bike ride and convinced my athletic friend and basketball coach Kevin to come with me, why was he sore the next day and I was not? Because I took Arnica 30C before we left for our bike ride.
Everybody Loves Arnica
Did you know that doctors, pharmacists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, chiropractors, and personal trainers recommend homeopathic Arnica? This is because Arnica montana provides quick relief from muscle and joint pain, injuries from sprains, twists, or falls, soreness after strenuous workout and helps avoid bruising and bleeding. Arnica also lessens pain after surgery, dental, work, and child birth and assist in overcoming shock as well as mental strain caused by an accident or sudden loss.
Used, Tested, and Trusted for Centuries around the World
Arnica montana is made from the plant of the same name shown above. As referenced in the University of Maryland Medical Center's online Complementary Medicine Guide, Arnica has been used for medicinal purposes since the 1500s.
Folklore has it that the healing potential of Arnica was first discovered by watching mountain goats who rushed to eat the plant after tripping or falling.
We offer Arnica as topical Arnica Relief Cream and as an energy remedy in the form of one of our popular orals sprays. Take 2 squirts 3 times per day and stop when symptoms are relieved. Apply a thin layer of the cream and massage it in gently. Arnica is safe and effective and not known for side-effects.
How Does Arnica Relieve Pain, Stiffness, Bruises and More?
While the way in which Arnica works and why it works so well is not completely understood, it is believed that its medicinal power lies in increasing the blood flow through the capillaries that have been injured. By doing so it causes the released fluids to be absorbed faster, reduces swelling and inflammation and avoids dark bruises, pain, and stiffness.
It is best to take or apply Arnica as soon as possible after an injury, surgery, or after over-exercising. This is why we recommend to keep your Arnica spray and cream conveniently on hand in your gym bag, glove department, briefcase, and desk drawer.
