🌿 About Arnica Montana
A mountain flower used topically for centuries. Contains helenalin which blocks NF-kB inflammation pathway. Studies show it reduces post-surgical bruising and swelling by 40-50%.
✅ Key Benefits
📋 How to Use Arnica Montana
Apply arnica gel/cream to affected area 3-4x daily. TOPICAL USE ONLY. Never apply to broken skin.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
NEVER take internally. Do not apply to broken skin or open wounds.
☠️ Overdose & Toxicity Risks
⚠️ What happens if taken in excess:
Arnica is TOXIC if taken internally. Ingestion causes severe gastroenteritis, internal bleeding, heart arrhythmias, organ failure, and death. Even persistent topical overuse on broken skin can cause systemic absorption and toxicity. Homeopathic (diluted) oral forms are generally safe as they contain negligible amounts of helenalin.
