what is arnica and where does it come from

Kathryn, Arnica montana is the Latin name for a perennial that grows 1 to 2 feet tall with bright, yellow daisy-like flowers that appear in July and August. It is found on the moist, grassy upland meadows in the hills and mountains of northern and central Europe and Siberia. It is also found sparsely in the northwestern United States. More common names for Arnica are Mountain daisy, Leopard's bane and Mountain tobacco. St. Hildegard, a nun known for her keen observation of nature and physiology, among other things, wrote about the healing properties of the Arnica montana plant in the 12th century. Since at least the 16th century, mountain people in the Alpine area have used it to relieve muscle aches and bruises.

what do the values mean such as 6c or 200 ck?

Homeopathic DilutionsWhat does the “C” listed after the active ingredient stand for?The most common type of dilutions is “C” dilutions (centesimal dilutions). The 1C is obtained by mixing 1 part of the Mother Tincture with 9 parts of ethanol in a new vial and then vigorously shaking the solution (succussion). The result is a 1/100 dilution of the plant (the Mother Tincture being a 1/10 dilution of the plant itself). The 2C is obtained by mixing 1 part of the 1C with 99 parts of ethanol in a new vial and succussing. Recurrently, the 3C is obtained by mixing 1 part of the 2C with 99 parts of ethanol in a new vial and succussing.What does the “X” listed after the active ingredient stand for?X dilutions are decimal dilutions prepared similarly to C dilutions, but the factor of dilution is only 1/10 from one dilution to the next.What does the “K” listed after the active ingredient stand for?The K refers to a method of manufacturing known as the Korsakovian method. The Korsakovian method dilutes the homeopathic preparation of the substance at the rate of 1 part of the previous dilution with 99 parts of solvent.What does the “CK” listed after the active ingredient stand for?Korsakovian dilutions are manufactured using a device specially designed to ensure that the dilution process is reproducible from one dilution to the next. Only one vial is used for the entire process. Using ultra-purified water as the solvent, the machine removes 99% of the Mother Tincture and replaces it with the same volume of solvent. The vial is succussed for 10.5 seconds. The result is called 1CK. The 2CK is prepared identically from the 1CK. The automatic process using only 1 vial allows higher dilutions to be reached. The most common Korsakovian dilutions are 200CK, 1,000CK (also called 1M), 10,000CK (10M), 50,000 CK (50M) and 100,000CK (100M or CM).What does “200CK” mean?200CK means that the substance has been homeopathically diluted 200 times at the rate of 1 to 100

What is typically pre-surgery dosing and frequency?

Within 30 minutes before surgery and shortly after surgery or when I am conscious again if I have general anesthesia. The worse the pain and/or swelling, the more frequently I take it. Usually every two-three hours the first two days, reducing the frequency over the next few days. It really helps with pain, swelling and speeding healing.

Is there lactose in these tablets ?

Hi, on the narrow side of the Arnicare box is written: one of the inactive ingredients is lactose. I assume it means that it has lactose. You can check their website for clarification.

Great product

I’ve been using Arnica tablets for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed with the results. Whether it’s soreness after a workout, minor bruising, or general muscle aches, these little tablets have made a noticeable difference. I love that they’re homeopathic and easy to take—just dissolve under the tongue and go about your day. There’s no grogginess, no weird side effects, and they work surprisingly fast. If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to manage pain and inflammation, I highly recommend giving Arnica tablets a try!

Arnica amazingness 🌻🌼💛

Arnica is such a Godsend.. if you have any procedure coming up or if you recently injured yourself, go ahead and stock up on Arnica both the oral and topical versions!! I had filler done on my face and had taken arnica initially for that reason and any bruising and swelling was healed up much quicker and initially not as bad as previous experiences when I didn’t use any arnica beforehand (I bruise easy).A couple weeks after my filler appointment I managed to fall down my own stairs in my house and broke two bones in my foot. Ordered more arnica ASAP to be sure I don’t run out because I have been taking 4-6 of these per day since breaking my foot!! I’m on day #11 and the really gnarly bruises I had from the fall are almost gone and my broken foot has definitely improved in swelling and inflammation since taking this regularly.Arnica is plant derived (also known as wolf’s bane) so don’t let big pharma convince you this doesn’t work but meanwhile they will claim that a bunch of their chemically compounded pills work. (Same with dandelions!!)Don’t get me wrong I’m still taking prescribed pain meds for obvious reasons lol but when I can turn to a plant for some help I will in a heartbeat!

Actually works

This product seemed to work very well for me after a facial surgery. My bruising was completely gone within 9 days of rhinoplasty operation day. No weird taste, easy to follow instructions. Will re purchase for future surgeries.

Great for “maintenance” beauty

I took these 4-5 days before Botox injections and got maybe one teeny, tiny bruise (vs bruising at every single injection site)
