Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I have also found that oral homeopathic arnica in low potencies and ingested are effective for accute inflammation and pain. I like to use oral and topical arnica, together or seperate. I always keep it handy.

If you or a loved one suffers from seasonal arthritis, consider arnica (Arnica montana). This daisy-like mountain flower can help relieve the pain and symptoms associated with seasonal arthritis, as well as bruises, sprains, soreness and swelling/muscle spasms from sports activity, and general muscle and joint pain. Available in tincture, homeopathic ointment, cream, salve and pills, arnica should only be used topically (non-homeopathic arnica is toxic if it gets inside the body and should not be applied in any form on broken skin or on an open wound). Look for pure arnica extract for topical applications. For arthritis, you may want to make an arnica compress: mix one tablespoon of arnica tincture in one pint of purified water. Dip a gauze pad in the mixture, then put it on the arthritic joint. > > Dr. Weil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hey Paul! This arnica has really helped me out with my aching joints and has no smell at all! I highly recommend it. Glad you've found something that helps you too. I also use thieve's oil to rub on my limbs for pain. I smell like a big cinnamin toothpick but it works wonders! Also use it for hot baths. Its kind of hard to find, but well worth the search. Best to you, ~Rocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
