Boiron Arnica Montana 200X for Muscle Pain, Stiffness, Swelling from Injuries, & Bruises - 80 Pellets

Homeopathic medicine is as different from allopathic medicine (mainstream medicine) as a steak is to an orange. ..they're BOTH food, but that's where the similarities end. You don't broil an orange under an open flame and dowse it with BBQ sauce, and you don't peel a steak and pop a piece into your mouth fresh off the cow. You don't eat a steak for it's vitamin C nor for dessert, and you don't eat an orange expecting to get a good dose of protein nor eat it as your main course for dinner. ..but they're both food. Amazon encouraged me to write a review for this asking, "HOW WAS THE EFFECTIVENESS?" HERE'S MY ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION: IF you know HOW to use homeopathy and you know enough to know for CERTAIN this is the right remedy (out of hundreds) then it always works. Homeopathy is amazing. and Boiron is a reputable homeopathic company. I've been using Remedies for 50+ years BECAUSE they work. You don't have to believe in it, it isn't mind over matter, it works on infants and animals and they surely do not believe in it, or even understand they are taking it. It is approx 95% of everything I use for health. For almost 20 of those years I relied entirely on Classically-taught Homeopathic Physicians (who were also fully licensed Medical Doctors who had become disillusioned with modern medicine) to diagnose me and prescribe whatever remedy or remedies I needed. My first homeopathic doctor saved my uterus when an "expert" told me I needed a hysterectomy. I gave birth 4 yrs later with no complications and have my uterus still. I still rely Doctors of Homeopathic medicine for anything complicated. You've got to understand the different potencies and what they mean, because a 30C does not treat the same things as a 6X nor a 30X, AND you need to understand when and how often to take them, and when and how to stop taking them. While they are "safe" over the counter, almost no one UNDERSTANDS them, which leads people to buy them for this or that indicated on the little label. Then to decide they don't work when they've taken them improperly or taken the wrong remedy. EXAMPLE: There are a MULTITUDE of remedies for an "injury". if you don't pick the right remedy, it won't work. Then you join the propaganda machine of homeopathic naysayers with, "Oh, I tried that, didn't work at all!". Another thing that affects which remedy, and how to take it, is how long the problem has persisted. Some are for acute (new/recent) problems and some are for problems of a long term nature. If you want to use homeopathy because you heard it's non-injurious (which it is) then find yourself a Classically-taught (1-remedy) homeopathic Physician (+MD if possible). There are good Homeopathic ONLY doctors but I think most Americans would feel better with an MD who later turned to Homeopathy. It's just the way we've been raised. If you're lucky, maybe you'll get introduced to a homeopathic Nurse Practitioner who will offer classes for you. It's NOT a simple science. So be careful, there are a lot of self-taught wannabe homeopaths running around, and you don't want one of them, I promise you. PS: A classically-taught homeopath is getting harder and harder to find for a couple of reasons, but they ARE out there, although probably nowhere near you. However, many these days try to work by phone/video knowing that they are few and far between. The Homeopathic colleges and hospitals in America were drummed out of business by a long and hard campaign starting in the late 1800s from the AMA which was established to do just that, push them out of business, backed by big money from big PHARMA. They eventually spread it around the world, but nowhere as fiercely as in America. the result being a huge drop-off in homeopathic doctors and training. But until the 1990s someone wanting to learn could still go over to London and learn in the London homeopathic hospital. Sadly, now, even that is gone. There are still people all over the world doing their best to keep it alive, starting small schools. But the propaganda campaign is still raging against it, and they have unlimited funds, making it very tough.

Everyone should have arnica in their emergency kits in their car, purse and medicine cabinets for those unexpected falls, bumps and bruises. A good friend of mine was in an accident and took this- while her car took awhile to repair, she stated her healing was smoother thanks to the relief she got from this. Since that time, I've always kept arnica in my bag!

Always works

This helped to relieve some muscle aches I was having.

I like to purchase single ingredient homeopathic medications. This is just Arnica Montana 200x, which is the highest strength I have found on Amazon or at RiteAid. I use it for pain and inflammation.

As advertised

I’ve never found a lot of benefit from homeopathic remedies but I ordered this after a dental procedure for pain. It was recommended by a holistic dentist. Did not help in the slightest.
