Fast-acting arnica extra strength gel assists the normal response to shock, injury and bruising helping the body's normal defence mechanisms in times of trauma after surgery. Ideal for after exercise, arthritis, repetitive strain or over use syndrome. Contains tincture of Arnica 15%. For external use only. 

Traditionally used for the symptomatic relief of shock - both physical and emotional. A must for the first aid kit for everyday injuries and accidents. Arnica helps reduce inflammation and therefore soothes pain. It aids wound healing by improving the blood flow to the area, and helps soothe the nerve endings. Arnica also has counter-irritant properties, (isomeric alcohols) which help increase local circulation. It has been used for the temporary relief of a deep-seated painful irritation.
Helps stimulate peripheral blood supply, thereby promoting speedy repair of bruises, sprains and swellings. Extracts from the plant Arnica montana have been traditionally used in both herbal and homoeopathic form for many years, to 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.

Arnica Extra Strength Gel contains Arnica tincture at 15% in a gel base. Arnica is a well known herb for bruising, tenderness and post-injury or post-exercise soreness, and this version uses a higher topical percentage than the standard Arnica Cream. The gel texture is especially useful when you want a lighter texture on the skin and quick absorption.

Because the active ingredient is still arnica, the main purpose of Arnica Extra Strength Gel is simple: topical support for bumps, bruising, muscle fatigue and local tenderness. The gel base also makes it easy to apply over areas that are hot or puffy after activity.
