Always use new products under the direction of your own doctor.

Overdosage: This is not a concern with the use of topical preparations. Arnica is toxic if ingested. Keep away from children or pets. It is used in very dilute amounts in some wines as a flavoring agent, and in mouthwashes.

Dosage and Mode of Use: Apply the rub to a wide area around the painful muscle, tendon or joint. Wait 5 to 10 minutes and repeat application. Do apply the rub first in the AM or before the activity known to cause pain. Do this again before bedtime or after the activity that causes the pain. After a few days a single application is typically sufficient

Clinical Trials: Because of the previous statements, we choose to ignore the homeopathy-based studies mentioned in the PDR-HM or found elsewhere as per the references cited below. In one particular negative study cited in the PDR-HM a topical preparation of 0.4% Arnica gel was used (Gulick et al. 1996). This was clearly an inadequate concentration. The actual concentration in our Arthritis Rub is much higher and works every time. We find that when pain is severe it works better if a double application is used for the first 3 to 5 days.

The PDR-HM cites unreferenced studies using a gel or a 20% tincture as beneficial to treat muscle aches, edema, venous tone and “feeling of heaviness in the legs.” There is a study comparing an Ibuprofen gel to topical Arnica for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hands in 204 patients. Ibuprofen caused a 23.9 % reduction in pain and the Arnica group had a 26.6 % reduction. (Rheumatology International, April 2007; vol. 27, pp.585-91). An Arnica gel was studied to treat osteoarthritis of the knee. Pain was “significantly decreased” with maximum reduction of pain scores after 3 weeks of treatment. (Advances in Therapy. Sept/Oct 2002. Vol. 19 No. 5, pp.209-218).
