This product is awesome. It's topical..clear, does not smell or stain. It reduces inflammation from bruises, muscle/joint strain, swelling and arthritis. It's also very effective in preventing bruising if applied when the bump or injury happens. Apply it on existing bruises and they fade fast. My husband has very fragile skin due to steroid (prednisone) and he uses this product regularly with great results. I used it to control swelling and pain from a wrenched ankle. Can't say enough good things about it..And Boericke & Tafel's arnica is the best on the market!

This Gel was recommended to me by my Chiropractor. I found that unlike Ben-Gay and similar, it does not have a burning sensation. Also, it seems to last longer that other topical heating gels.

I also found out that prior to a gym workout, I rub some into any sore spots from a previous workout and within a half hour, the pain is gone.

A few months ago, I strained some ligaments in my arm and nothing else seemed to work until I started using this remedy. The result was that I was back to my usual workouts and use this Gel prior to a workout as a preventative measure and afterwards for any post soreness.

Highly recommended.

Without it I would not be able to sleep at night.

It doesn't take away all the pain, nor does it work as well for major pain days -
but without it I would have to take prescription anti-inflammatories daily, which I don't want to do. I have used this product for several Years and am very happy how it helps with the constant pain. Don't know what I would do without it.

it absorbs quickly and not only relieves pain and stiffness but speeds the healing of bruises. this is the best arnica product I have ever used! its not sticky at all like most!

This stuff is great. Super anti inflammatory for pulled muscles, ligaments, tendonitis. Great for reducing swelling, super for preventing bruises from coming out after you've bumped into something. And it's great for quickly fading bruises. Not greasy, no odor. Simple, quick and IT WORKS. And Boericke Tafel Arnica is the best!

Arniflora is great for relieving the pain of arthritis. I have been using it for years and have introduced it to other sufferers. It gives you quick relief with NO odor or greasiness. I have also used it on bruises it really helps to relieve swelling and the bruise quickly disappears. This is a wonderful product !

p.s. don't try any other arnica based product the best is Arniflora Gel the others just don't work as well.

This is the best product I have found and it relieves my pain from fibromyalgia and spinal stenosis as well as my broken meniscus and torn ACL. And it is practically odorless. And has no burning sensation like some other products (which I dislike.)

Friends had recommended arnica for sore muscles, but I was pretty skeptical. I bought the Arniflora gel just so I could say I'd tried it. When I opened the tube, I was surprised that, unlike most muscle rubs, there was no medicinal smell. I put it on my sore muscles and didn't feel anything, so I figured it wasn't doing anything. Then I realized the muscle pain was gone! I've given some of the gel to friends and they've been pleasantly surprised too. I have no idea how it works, but it does. There's no greasy feeling or strong smell either, which I consider another plus.

This is a great product for bruising. It was a great price also. Thank you.

If I had known it was homeopathic before I ordered, I wouldn't have. Why? From Wikipedia (as of this review date) - "Homeopathy Listeni/'ho'mi''p''i/ (also spelled homoeopathy[1] or homaeopathy) is a form of alternative medicine in which practitioners treat patients using highly diluted[2][3] preparations that are believed to cause healthy people to exhibit symptoms that are similar to those exhibited by the patient. The collective weight of scientific evidence has found homeopathy to be no more effective than a placebo.[2][3][4][5][6]"

Note: "...no more effective than a placebo."

The product says Arnica montana 1X % in a witch hazel base. So maybe witch hazel or placebo helps some?

For me this product did nothing. No warm, no cooling, no lessening of the pain or stiffness. The massaging to rub this in did more then this product. Oh, and in case it matters, I used this for lower back pain.
