Homoeopathy is a unique system of medicine that aims to promote good health by using micro-doses of medicament which work to stimulate the body's own defence system. Homoeopathy is a non-drug therapy that is based on the principle of 'like cures like'. Homeopathic remedies have no side effects, are gentle enough to be used by all the family and can be used with any other forms of medication. Arnica is one of the most frequently used homoeopathic remedies. Extracts from the plant Arnica montana have been traditionally used in both herbal and homoeopathic form for many years, to help minimise the immediate effects of tissue trauma from various causes and assist in the healing process. It has also been used in certain hospital settings in Europe, for example Homoeopathic and Anthroposophical Hospitals. The traditional uses for Arnica include helping the body's normal defence mechanism in times of trauma. Homoeopathy uses micro-doses of medicament which work to stimulate the body's own defence system. These remedies have no side effects, and are gentle enough to be used by all members of the family.

Tablet remedies are manufactured using a base of lactose (milk sugar). They are usually safe for diabetics, however professional advice should be sought if in doubt. They are not suitable for anyone with lactose intolerance. It is recommended that tablets not be given to babies and very young children.
