Boiron's Arnicare Gel Giveaway

I was given a chance to review Boiron's Arnicare Gel. It is a homeopathy line of medicines. What is homeopathy you ask. Per Arnicare website they state that "Homeopathic medicines are therapeutically active micro-doses of mineral, botanical and biological substances. Used to treat many acute health conditions, these medicines are safe and natural." Know in this mom's opinion anything that is all natural is a added plus in my book.

Arnicare Gel temporarily relieves muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries, overexertion and falls. It helps reduce pain, swelling and discoloration from bruises. It is non-sticky and non greasy gel that quickly absorbs into the skin. In my house with my husband in constant pain we are always on the hunt for something that will give him some minor relief. He was pleased with the results he was able to achieve when applying the gel to his lower back. I was happy that when applying it I did not feel like a greasy mess was left on my hand.

According to Boiron 5 things you need to know about Arnicare is -

#1 • It has been around for centuries — 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 Leopard’s bane, Mountain daisy and Mountain tobacco. St. Hildegard wrote about the healing properties of the Arnica montana plant in the 12^th century. Since at least the 16^th century, mountain people in the Alpine area have used it to relieve muscle aches and bruises.

 

#2 • Popular among athletes, plastic surgeons — Arnica is one of the most popular homeopathic medicines worldwide to treat minor injuries, overexertion or pain, and swelling and bruising from surgery. Many athletes use it to recover from sore and stiff muscles after strenuous workouts or competitions, and value its non-doping quality. Plastic surgeons recommend it to patients to help heal bruising and swelling associated with cosmetic procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelid), rhinoplasty (nose), and botulinum toxin or filler injections.

#3 • Safe to use for whole family — In homeopathic form, Arnica has no known side effects or drug interactions, helping people of all ages to recover quickly from muscle aches, stiffness and bruising no matter what the activity.

#4 • Available over-the-counter in many forms — Arnica is available without a prescription. Boiron offers Arnica in sublingual pellets, and as three different topicals – gel, cream and ointment – to help safely minimize discomfort for everyone from busy moms to professional athletes.

#5 • Quality manufacturing — Boiron’s Arnicare line is manufactured according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States and the FDA’s drug Good Manufacturing Practices.

The direction were easy and are as follows - apply a thin layer of Arnicare Gel to affected area and massage gently as soon as possible after minor injury. Repeat 3 times a day or as needed.
