This week I started taking Arnica 30C, 2 doses, because I have terrible lower back pain. It works fantastic. I usually need 2 doses twice a day. I also had pain in both of my knees when I climbed up the stairs; it's gone too. I am so happy that I found this remedy.

I have always taken Arnica for a few days prior and after surgery of any kind including dental. I have also given it to my dogs before any surgical procedure. I have always been amazed at how well recovery is after. Recently had a difficult tooth extraction, used arnica before and after. Had minimal bleeding, no pain and healed well. Even the dentist was amazed with my quick recovery rate. I totally recommend it.

I commenced 3x200c dose of arnica every 4hrs after a wisdom tooth extraction. Pain, swelling, bleeding & soreness have gone in 24hrs. I am thrilled with the outcome & will be back at work within 48 hrs of procedure, thought I might need a few days off with this but fabulous outcome. A great remedy to have on hand.
