Arnica hasn't disappointed me in the past, and this was no exception.

I have always been a fan of arnica for a variety of needs. This product was purchased to help my husband with dark circles around his eyes that is a temporary side effect of a medication. This brought down the blueness the same day as the first application. Arnica is one of those things that shouldn't be used all the time, but rather for short periods of time to address a temporary situation. My husband is happy with it and that makes me happy too.

works if you give it a chance

i have severe back pain and this really helps. i was using a compounded cream but medicare stopped paying for it. found this and it is way way cheaper than a compound. it takes a few days for this to sink in and start working but it does work just give it a chance. i use this along with voltaren. 4 dobs voltaren 1 dob arnica . dob on each hip dob on tail bone dob on spine above hips. use arnica on tail bone. i take a narcotic for pain but it just makes it bearable. i do this twice a day and can get a little sleep each time. people with this pain know what i mean. i really hope this can help someone else as it has me. it helps me not to cry. it is not that expensive and worth a try.

Immediate Relief from stress related tight shoulders and neck

Stiff neck? Tight shoulders? No, not you? Right? this gives you almost instant relief from sore or tight muscles. Also shortens bruise healing in half or better depending on the nature of the injury. I recommend the gel, as it goes in clear and clean, dries very quickly, and it's homeopathic, with all natural ingredients. I also recommend buying the largest value size as you will be using this more than you think, once you feel the relief.

Wonderful Product!

I can't say enough about Arnica. It's a fantastic product help with everyday bumps and bruises and pain. I walk into things ALL the time - I'm constantly bashing my shins against furniture or whacking my elbow on doors - and Boy do I Bruise easily!! I immediately put Arnica on these spots- the second it happens and guess what?!? No BRUISE! I'm not even kidding. This stuff is the real deal and Boiron is the best.

Works for pain associated with bruising and swelling

I used this product for a painful bruise. I had my doubts, but since there isn't really a big market for bruise products, I gave it a chance. I applied this product 3 times a day. I noticed that it made my bruising and swelling feel almost numb. It didn't take away the pain 100%, but I'd say I experienced about 80% relief with it. I used it about every 6-8 hours. I noticed that when i forgot to use it, the pain came back with a vengeance. Shortly after applying the product again, the pain would go down. Even OTC pain killers didn't touch the pain associated with my bruising and swelling, but this gel did. After about 2 weeks, I did not feel the need to use it anymore for pain. I am unsure if it really helped the bruise fade away faster or not. It seemed that the coloring from the bruise faded in the typical amount of time I usually heal in. But for the pain relief alone, it was worth it. I'm a believer!

Actually relieves pain well....

I like the Arnicare for relief of muscle pain. I am an RN and it was recommended by a patient's family. I was skeptical and ignored it until I found it at the grocery store one day. Bought is on a whim. And it works well for muscle aches from my fibromyalgia. I have been using it for going on 2 years and it is effective - takes about 30 minutes to relieve pain. Can be used instead of or in addition to ibuprofen.

Stuff works

Arnica was recommended to me by my surgeon to clear some under the skin blood pooling under an abdominal drain that was painless but widespread and ugly- and to use over surgical incisions that had scabs already off. Wow is all I can say. This stuff WORKS, and it works fast. I now use it on my son's football bruises and klutzy bumps. I had a huge, long scar that went from all red and purple and ugly to matching most of my skin tone in just a few months which seems like a long time but if you ask a plastic surgeon, they'd call it nearly miraculous. I used a combination of oral tabs with the skin gel so I've got it working from the outside in and the inside out. Great stuff. Also, people outside of the US are commonly aware of and use this product (and they're sympathetic and condescending all at once, like: "oh, um, you didn't know about it? My Mum used it on me all the time as a kid!"). I also use Boiron's Oscillococcinum as a symptom reducer for colds and flus (get it here or at your local pharmacy, another thing that's available and commonplace elsewhere) and that works so well it's literally amazing. I absolutely trust their products to work as expected- and coming from a non-tree-hugging cautious-about-homeopathics person, that's a huge endorsement.

My #1 choice for arnica gel

Working as a personal trainer, dance, yoga, and pilates teacher... I always highly recommend this product to my clients and students. I never recommend anything to them I haven't first tried, tested, and love myself, and this particular arnica gel has proven the test of time to me for over a decade now. I have tried many other homeopathic arnica gels and creams and keep returning to this one. In my opinion and personal experience, I have definitely gotten the most benefit from the Boiron Arnicare. As for the pellets, I suggest taking them under the tongue on an empty stomach away from food (or anything other than water) 3-5x/day. In addition to helping with aches, pains, strains, sprains, and even broken bones, the gel works excellent for groin strain which can be a tricky thing to treat sometimes. If you have a flare up in your groin, it is best to rest it for a few days, avoid anything that aggravates it, and use the gel diligently throughout the day (every 2-3 hours) along with the pellets (3-5x/day). I am not a doctor and I am not giving medical advice. I am just sharing what has worked for both myself and my clients over the years.

I will never be without a tube of this

I bruise easily on my legs and arnica is a life saver. What would normally take a month to barely fade and then leave a gray mark on my leg for a year (or until I get it broken up by a painful laser) will fade within two weeks with this stuff. After a week it's about 60% lighter. I previously had an arnica cream that didn't list the percentage of arnica and it was just ok. This lists the arnica at 7% and it works super fast, especially if you can get to it the first day - that makes a ton of difference. I've also tried vitamin K creams that are ok but most are small tubes for the face only so that gets expensive quickly and I really think this works faster anyway.
