Q: Has anyone tried this for tennis elbow? Tendonitis? Any results?
submitted by SarahB - 4 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).

This is definitely my favorite brand of Arnica gel. It is fast absorbing, scent-free, and doesn’t have a greasy feel. I have utilized this gel on various areas of my body. It has helped me with bruises, and muscle pain. It has helped to relieve the pain, swelling and overall condition of several hematomas I’ve had, on my arm and one on my thigh. A little of this product goes a long way, so even though I use it regularly, the tube still lasts a good while. I highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this months ago but couldn’t really review it as I didn’t have any bruises. Until now. My daughter fell off one of those e-scooters you can rent to get around for fun, and banged her shin pretty badly. Left a knot. She used this on the bruised area, and it looked much better the next day. I’m impressed, and glad I had this on hand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am use to pain relief creams that smell and are either cooling or heat up when applied, however this one goes on as a clear gel. It has a faint but pleasant scent the goes away quickly. The soothing acting happens slowly ( 10-15 minutes) but it helps with muscle pain.
It Works!

It’s a great product that I have been using for awhile now. Both for personal use and with my business. I appreciate that it is un scented and absorbs quickly and is an excellent product to use for my massage clients. I’ve been recommending it to my clients and friends for years.

I have been using Arnica gel for years and have always found it to be an effective way to help aid in bruise healing. I don't really use it for muscle soreness, but I definitely notice my bruises get less tender and go away faster when I use this stuff. I like that it doesn't have artificial fragrance, though the natural fragrance can be a bit off-putting. It does go away pretty quickly. The gel usually sinks in pretty quickly and doesn't stay tacky on the skin. If you try to layer it, it can start pilling up, though. Overall, this product is a staple in my medicine cabinet.

#influenster #Arnicare Thank you for the opportunity to try this gel, I went for a run the other day and took the wrong shoes and my right foot got all swollen and the bottom was hurting on every step. This came at the right time I got it on Monday and been putting this gel on and it seems like is working. So will keep putting on. Is a small bottle that you could even put it in your purse. #voxbox #insentivzed 🌼 Is a clear gel 🌼 Non-Greasy 🌼 Quickly Absorbed 🌼 Fragrance-Free * *but at the being does have a strong smell but it goes away @Influenster Arnicare Gel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In order to see good results with Arnicare, you really need to be consistent with it. I used it for about a week after experiencing some muscle soreness in my leg. It was easy to apply and rub in to the skin and I did see some improvement after a few days of soreness instead of my usual week or more of getting rid of sore muscles. Key word is CONSISTENCY with this gel.
