If I had known it was homeopathic before I ordered(the 2.75 oz size), 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.
