Question 1

i've read about using arnica to help bruises go away faster. how exactly does it work? is it safe to use? side effects?

Accepted Answer

Safe,MinmalSideEff: The active ingredients of arnica are sesquiterpene lactones, such as helenalin and 11,13- dihydrohel-enaline and chamissonolid. Also  pinoresinol, epipinoresinol, phillygenin, matairesinol, nortrachelogenin, and nortracheloside (six dibenzylbutyrolactol derivatives).helenalin and dihydrohelenalin, may be responsible for anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. **[P.S. Never worked for me]**

Question 2

how does arnica montana work? is it a good homeopathic option?

Accepted Answer

With right use, yes: Homeopathic arnica helps especially in trauma & pain with bruising -- like contusions, sprains, and even surgical trauma.  Research with face lift patients showed significantly less bruising:  http://archfaci.Jamanetwork.Com/article.Aspx?Articleid=480929  when correctly matched to the person's symptoms, remedies work by stimulating innate restorative systems. Arnica can help in concussions too.

Question 3

is arnica montana safe for pregnant people?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathic Arnica: When carefully and appropriately prescribed by well-trained classical homeopaths, homeopathic remedies such as arnica montana are safe in pregnancy.  This includes gels or lotions used externally, and potencies above 12c taken internally.  The raw herb, or tinctures made from raw arnica montana, are not safe to use internally.

Question 4

is arnica montana for hiatal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Arnica montana is sometimes grown in herb gardens and has long been used medicinally. It contains the toxin helenalin, which can be poisonous if large amounts of the plant are eaten. It produces severe gastroenteritis and internal bleeding of the digestive tract if enough material is ingested. No herbal remedy has conclusively shown benefits for hiatal hernia symptoms when studied scientifically.

Question 5

i have fibromyalgia. i have been taking arnica montana 30c for last month 3 granules 3 times a day. it looks like it improved my muscle condition. for how long i can take arnica 30c? thank you in advance, dina?

Accepted Answer

: This is a supplement so we do not have reliable information to provide you a correct response. However, by WebMD, Arnica 30C is a very diluted preparation so the amount of active chemicals is extremely low then I assume this preparation won't hurt you in the long run. Good luck.

Question 6

is arnica montana safe? it says online to not take oral. but my surgeon seems to think it's fine. can it cause heart issues? already have pvcs.

Accepted Answer

See below: Arnica Montana is a useful anti-inflammatory herb when used as a cream, but it is toxic when taken internally.  Arnica is also sold as little white Homeopathic pills which are safe to ingest because in the popular 30X dilution they contain no Arnica, just plain water. There is no scientific basis for the claims of Homeopathy that despite having no molecules of the substance the "essence" remains.

Question 7

any side effects using arnica gel with(antibiotics or medicines?)

Accepted Answer

Arnica gel: Homeopathic arnica gel used externally would cause no side effects with antibiotics or medicines.  If you are allergic to daisy-like plants, though, your skin could react with a dermatitis.

Question 8

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly

Question 9

so she has been getting a steroid injection due to her hs ( hidradenitis suppurativa) is that injection for any chance going to give her any side affects of gaining weight and her period being delayed or any other side effects?

Accepted Answer

: This type of steroid treatment can give a patient an appetite increase. It is not the type of steroid that would interfere with menses. Long term side effects of steroids depend on dosing &amp; frequency and rarely are features of sporadic use.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
