A member asked:
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.
A doctor has provided 1 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.
