skin, the plant has a heating energy that warms, increasing circulation and acting as a counter irritant to decrease pain.\u00a0 At the same time the plant works to dry excess moisture, and helps relieve inflammation.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>External application and homeopathic preparations are frequently used for the kind of discomfort associated with overexertion and advanced stages of disease.\u00a0 For example, Arnica is effective on bruises, pain from repetitive motion, sprains, strains, broken bones, tendinitis, arthritis and more. Specifically indicated where there is soreness or pain upon movement.\u00a0 When heat helps, try arnica.\u00a0 If cold helps use something else.<\/p>\n<p>Homeopathic Arnica is safe and can be purchased in most holistic health stores.\u00a0 Boiron offers a quality Arnica homopathic made with <em>Arnica montana.\u00a0 <\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/9194795\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Boiron\/Boiron-Arnica-Montana-80-Pellets.axd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I get mine from Botanic Choice.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong> Homeopathic Arnica is taken by dissolving 3 to 5 pellets under the tongue 2 or 3 times per day.\u00a0 \u00a0Indicated to help;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Temporarily relieve muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries, overexertion and falls<\/li>\n<li>Reduce pain, swelling and discoloration from bruises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other than homeopathic applications, Arnica should be used internally with caution.\u00a0 \u00a0This herb is very warming.\u00a0 The tea taken internally burns the digestive mucosa.\u00a0 However, as an irritant, Arnica works through the immune system. It\u2019s a strong vasodilator and cardiovascular stimulant helping to counteract adrenalin, keeping the blood supply in the main organs and body rather than rushing out into the limbs. Use only 3 to 10 drops of the tincture in water as first aid after rough and tumble events such as falling off your motorcycle or losing a boxing match. You get the idea; I\u2019m talking about the kind of event that will produce bruises and strains but nothing serious. Arnica increases immune response by stimulating microphage (white blood cell) activity. A few drops of the tincture taken in water or added to other herbs immune-boosting effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Internally, Arnica Should always be used with Caution and Respect.\u00a0 Use only 1 to 10 drops in water.\u00a0 And only when needed 2x or so per day.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>*<strong>****LARGE AMOUTS OF ARNICA TAKEN INTERNALLY CAN CAUSE DEATH*****<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d4a2a0c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d4a2a0c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ebb3e6c\" data-id=\"ebb3e6c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46f9d4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"46f9d4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Preparation Methods and Suggested Dosages<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f64e4eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f64e4eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The fresh plant tincture is made by stuffing as much fresh Arnica (whole plant, root and all) into a quart canning jar as will fit.\u00a0 Then fill it with 100% ethanol alcohol (like everclear).\u00a0 Next, shake it every day for a minimum of 2 weeks.
