submitted by SarahB - 7 years ago
A: Tendonitis, or tennis elbow, is an inflammation caused by repetitive movements. Arnica is indicated for this type of pain, based on the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of its components (especially helenalin).

Helped bruising tremendously
I was very impressed by this product! I regret not taking before and after photos. I fell down the stairs last week and was luckily okay, but I did end up with some very severe bruising that I was embarrassed about. Applied this gel multiple times a day over the course of a few days and the discoloration has improved tremendously! Almost completely gone. When I say my knees were BLACK just 3-4 days ago…I mean they were truly as dark as the color of a plum. It was horrifying! In the photo of my knees now, you can hardly even tell they were bruised at all. I definitely recommend giving this gel a try if your in a situation like me and need bruises gone asap

Sensitive skin
Works awesome however it wears off way too quick. If you want something that lasts a while I would stick to the extra strength Ice Hot. If you have sensitive skin I would go for this one. It’s a lot more gentle on the skin.

Odd texture that pills upon application
The texture is off. This gel is super liquidy but then pills when you rub it into your skin. Read that it’s either gone bad or it’s poor quality. Either way, this was useless. Definitely returning!

Really works great
Arnica pain relief gel, this is easy to apply and works exactly as promised. I'm using it for pain relief after breaking my leg. Withing a few minutes it is working and my leg feels comfortable. I was skeptical before trying it, now I use it on any ache, pain or swelling. This is a reorder.

Knee pain / muscle pain
For knee pain it works. I couldn’t walk and I rubbed this on three times a day. It’s a miracle gel! I’ve used other brands and they don’t work as good as this brand. I believe Boiron is the Best.

Arnicare for Me!
I wasn't a believer until I began using it regularly. I tend to bruise easily these days on my hands, however with the use of the Gel immediately after a bruise begins, Arnicare begins to work. Instead if 2-3 weeks looking at the bruise< I have noticed it cuts the time to about a week. Thanks Arnicare

The Miracle in the Medicine Cabinet
I stumbled onto this product about 5 years ago when I got a spider bite. A pharmacist suggested I use this product and it gave me such relief from the pain! It takes just a little bit and I use it for ALL my cuts, scrapes and insect bites. I bought a lot of this product to give a stocking stuffers. I think this is an amazing product and I recommend it to everyone I know.

Good
Used this a few weeks post foot surgery. It helped me a lot during my recovery and with sleep. I still use it whenever I have any aches in my foot and find this helps relieve any discomfort

I love Arnica Gel! It’s non greasy, and after working all day, doing chores, taking care of house, family, and digging occasional holes for plants, it is a wonderful product that’s takes away my sore muscles and aching back!

Watery Gel
I’ve bought this product and the cream in the past but this last tube I bought is really watery. Did they change the formula?
