Question about Arnica Montana

LynneB · January 12, 2008

I was reading on here about how great the stuff is. I went today to GNC, they did not have Arnica Montana but they had Arnica Relief cream and pills. Are these the same thing as Montana? I hope so, I bought them just in case, they were $7.95 each. I also got to sample several types of Protein Drinks. The best were Pro complex GNC brand chocolate fudge, strawberry, and Cookies and cream. They are 22gm of Protein per scoop and 4 carbs.

I think they're the same but why are you going to take it? For immediate post-op healing??

On the scar stages threads several people said that it speeds healing of scars and internal healing pain so I figured it couldnt hurt to try it.

OK, I thought maybe you were planning to use it like a Vitamin supplement or something. But, you're fine. My friend told me about arnica. She gets the kind that looks like tiny baby asprin and you stick a couple under your tongue until they dissolve. They don't really taste like anything.

I've seen her little kids do bone-head stuff like knock their heads off a corner...if their head starts to knot up she'll give them some arnica right away and the knot starts going away within minutes. I do think that stuff helps. At least I can't see where it would hurt.

She just goes to like GNC and gets arnica montana in tiny disolvable pill form.
