Arnica
Herb Pharm
Overview
Arnica Liquid Extract shows modest efficacy for topical applications to reduce pain and inflammation associated with bruises, muscle soreness, and mild traumatic injuries. However, the efficacy diminishes significantly, and safety concerns rise sharply with oral ingestion of this specific concentration, which is explicitly listed on the label as a suggested use. The lack of detailed concentration information for internal use makes it difficult to assess its safety for oral consumption.
The Good
Generally safe for topical application on intact skin.
May offer modest relief for bruises, muscle pain, and inflammation when applied externally.
Derived from organically grown/sustainably wildcrafted Arnica montana.
The Bad
High risk of toxicity if ingested orally, despite the product label suggesting internal administration.
Alcohol content as a primary ingredient, which can be irritating topically and carries risks if ingested.
Dosage for internal use is poorly defined and contradicts general safety guidelines for concentrated Arnica.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking topical relief for muscle pain, bruises, and inflammation
Skip If: You intend to ingest it orally, or have known allergies to Arnica montana.
