BoironArnica Ointment, 1 oz

Arnica cream has been used for the treatment of muscle strains, tendon sprains and a plethora of other ills for hundreds of years. It was widely dispensed by family docs for generations. I believe the medicinal qualities of the Arnica Montana flower were first discovered by the North American Indians several hundred years ago. I used it for plantar fasciitis after everything else had failed. This included orthodeic shoe inserts, every NSAID on the market, multiple cortisone injections and lastly surgery. Nothing worked. My Mom (an M.D.) suggested I try Arnica Gel but not to expect any miracle cure and that it would probably take several weeks of three times a day applications before I noticed any improvement. It actually took about 3 weeks and I noticed a dramatic improvement; no pain. Not a reduction in pain, the elimination of pain in my feet. This was about 15 years ago. I always keep Arnica gel on hand and if my plantar fasciitis flares up I go back to the three a day treatments and after a couple of days, no pain. If this product had a muli-million dollar advertising network and required an Rx it would cost $100 a tube. It's like a lot of things in medical care, simple is often best.

Always fabulous - choose the ointment over the cream and gel anyday. Seems to take the best!!

My mother bruises easily from being on blood thinners after a heart attack. This is the only thing that really works!!! The results are noticeable within a day or two of using 2x or 3x daily with a thin layer. She is always asking me to pick up more! Try it!

I love arnica for sore muscles and use it whenever my plantar fasciitis flares up. I prefer the gel to ointment. You really need something to cover it when the ointment is used.

So far this is the bedt Arnicare topical i have used as it does not just wipe off. It absorbs slowly and gives refief alot longer than the gel.

I have MS and sometimes have leg discomfort when I go bed. My legs will cramp and I can'tget to sleep, so I rub this on and put my leg warmers on and then my leg will relax and I can go to sleep. I have been usingthis for many years and always keep it on hand.

I have used Arnica for years, so long in fact that I have forgotten how I found it. Bruises heal in half the time, sprains, strains, muscle aches go away after a few applications. It is not greasy but dissolves right into the skin w/ no odor.I was surprised when I had to have a small plastic surgery done that the doctor recommended using Arnica for 2 weeks before and after surgery. Healed in half the time with very little visible scarring.Nancy

My wife is pregnant, and she can't take most medicine, but she was told by the folks at the Birthing Center that arnicare is okay to take, so we bought some.It smells like rotting vegitables, so be aware of that, but she says it works.Aside from the smell, it's a little greasy, but you should wash your hands anyway. If you're pregnant, or if your just a hippie who is into homeopathic medicine, my wife says it works.
