"My doctor recommended I take arnica 2 tablets every 4 hours to help with bruising post-abdominoplasty. I have had diarrhea, sweats, fast heartbeat, cramping, nausea-all of which can be excruciating following a tummy tuck. I forgot my dose of arnica in the afternoon (post-op day 3), and I started feeling better, my symptoms were lessening. I wondered, “Could it be the arnica?” I didn’t take it for the rest of the day, woke up feeling “great.” I thought in the name of science and curiosity, I wonder if it is the arnica? I took my dose again-let me tell you, 30 minutes later... oh man. Cramps, nausea, diarrhea, no appetite, pain! Yes, I do believe in homeopathic Rx, I’m not trying to dissuade its uses-but listen to your body. I just wanted to post this so if there are others out there who are tirelessly searching the internet about the side effects associated with arnica, they can see that yes, there are possibly side effects that positively suck."

"I had a head injury caused during a car accident. Doctors advised me to undergo brain mapping and could not locate the cause of the headache, labeling the case as a concussion, which actually relates to the brain injury. Rightly said, there were no available medicines to root out the problem except to wait for it to subside, which could take from six months onwards, some advise that a concussion is for a lifetime. When I talked to my parents back in India, I was advised to take Arnica (homeopathic medicine). I tried the medicine for a week and realized that the concussion had actually reduced a lot. Arnica proved to be really effective."

"Tincture of Arnica was a staple in my household growing up. I suspect it was an old German remedy. Whatever. It works. My aunt ran her arm through an old automatic wringer. 'Get the Arnica!' It was applied liberally, and there was no bruising except where it was missed. My mother fell and broke her shoulder. 'Get the Arnica!' We applied it everywhere, and same thing. Only where we missed was there bruising. Seriously, you can't believe this unless you see it for yourself. It's miraculous."

"I was diagnosed with grade 2 spondylolisthesis at L4/L5 and degenerative disc disease about 4 years ago. These conditions and the pain caused by them are getting progressively worse. I'm unable to take opioids, gabapentin, Lyrica, or NSAIDs and was desperate for relief. My chiropractor recommended this stuff. It's said to have no drug interactions, and my med list is 32 items long. Much to my great surprise, this stuff actually WORKS!! It doesn't take the pain away completely, but at least I can function. I'm grateful for it."

"Arnica cream worked to reduce my joint pains, however, I want to caution it did interfere with blood thinners. I was using it once a day on my knees, back, and thighs. I tested on the fifth day, and my INR was 4.3. Therapeutic in my case is 2.5-3.5."

"Ok, so honestly I didn't think it would work on my brown skin, but 100% it did, and I'm shocked. I got hit in the face. The first night I didn't have this cream, I was using cocoa butter. I googled something and I came across this arnica cream and read reviews and watched YouTube videos about the arnica cream, though there were not many videos nor pictures of people's results. I was scared that the comments were a lie when I came across the reviews and mostly everyone loves the gel or cream. But anyway, it worked the first night I put it on, my bruise is not entirely gone. I got hit on Sunday and bought the arnica cream on Monday, and when I woke the next morning and washed my face, I noticed the cream was working. No lie, people see results overnight, but I suppose it depends on how deep the bruise is. Mine was kind of light, not that deep. But yes, it worked for me and I hope it will for sure work for you... peace and blessings, people."

"I formed substantive keloids across my chest, shoulders, and back. Multiple steroid injections made them grow worse. High-potency arnica extract reversed inflammation and shrank/flattened all growths. I was also given arnica pills prior to major abdominal surgery in the hospital by the surgeon (in Canada), and it prevented healing complications and no excess scar formation. You have to try arnica to help your keloid scars."

"This cream was used in my Doc's office after an outpatient procedure for varicose veins. Works well to reduce bruising if used immediately after injury. However, after reading here about side effects with blood thinners, I will cut down on use..."

"Lower back deterioration L5-S1 and neuropathy. I was very skeptical as, after 4 steroid injections, chiropractic therapy, acupuncture, Tramadol, etc., I was about ready to agree to surgery. The Arnica pills (sublingually) have decreased my pain 'substantially' after 1 day of use. No side effects noted."

"I have tried all pain killers for my neuropathy. This is a godsend. The first time I tried it, it worked and decreased my pain by at least 50%. I will continue to use it."

"I have connective tissue disease and quite a bit of muscle pain. I used the arnica gel, and I'm almost afraid it's my imagination, but the relief is unbelievable!"
