An essential homeopathic remedy in arnica monodose
Arnica montana is a perennial plant in the Compositae family. Its petals are rich in active ingredients: flavonoids, essential oils, coumarins, tannins and resins.
Its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, healing and circulatory properties are remarkable.
Taking Arnica montana in its herbal form provokes symptoms such as :
- Muscle aches and pains
- bruises and contusions
- Adynamic fever, impression of a hard bed
There is no specific sensitive type to Arnica montana. Symptoms are aggravated by movement and touch, and diminished by rest, especially when lying with head down.
Arnica Montana from Boiron Laboratories is a homeopathic medicine for the whole family:
- as a curative in traumatology (shocks, falls, wounds, accidents of all kinds), in case of small or medium-sized hemorrhages, in pre- and post-operative care, in case of pain following an old trauma, in case of muscular fatigue (strenuous work, long walks, sports, etc.), in case of hoarseness (hoarseness of the mouth, hoarseness of the throat, etc.).), hoarseness caused by overworked vocal cords (singers), muscular pain following stressful situations (bereavement) with the sensation of "having been beaten", capillary fragility (varicose veins, haemorrhoids, haematomas, conjunctival haemorrhages, etc.), prevention of cardiovascular risk, ophthalmology in cases of retinopathy and AMD (age-related macular degeneration).
- as a preventive measure before major muscular effort (sporting competitions, hiking, strenuous work, etc.).
Arnica Montana 30CH in single-dose form limits hematomas and their consequent pain (aches, bruises, muscle aches, or the impression that the bed is too hard). It can be used in all situations of muscular fatigue.
What are the indications for Arnica Boiron doses?
Arnica montana homeopathic medicines in globular doses can be used for a variety of symptoms, so it's not possible to determine the indications and dose of a specific preparation. Here are a few examples of the most common uses.
In the event of shocks, accidents, falls or sprains, it is advisable to take 1 dose of Arnica montana 9CH as soon as possible, then 5 granules 9CH every hour, spacing out the doses according to improvement. The earlier the dose is taken in this type of trauma, the more effectively pain and bruising will be reduced. This dosage is also useful for people suffering from inflammatory pain such as aches and pains, tendonitis and acute rheumatism.
For post-operative care (small and medium hemorrhages), after childbirth, or for any foreseeable trauma such as a sporting event, we recommend taking 1 dose of Arnica montana 9CH 3 days beforehand. After the event or operation, take 5 granules of 9CH every hour for 12 hours, then space out the doses, maintaining the treatment for a week.
Singers or speakers with hoarseness can take 1 dose at 7CH or 9CH at the first symptoms, then 5 granules at 9 CH every hour, spacing out according to improvement.
Arnica montana is also the homeopathic remedy of choice for fever with red, congested face, chills, thirst, foul breath, muscle pain and bruising. In contrast, Baptisia treats agitated fevers with mental confusion but without bruising, and Rhus toxicodendron for fevers soothed by movement, unlike Arnica.
We remind you that it is your homeopathic doctor who chooses the appropriate medicine, dilution and dosage to suit your state of health and characteristic symptoms.

Pregnant women can take Arnica montana without any known risk to themselves or their unborn child, but it is advisable to seek advice.
Frequency of homeopathic use
For acute conditions, we recommend taking Arnica montana homeopathic remedies in granule doses every hour until symptoms improve. From then on, take them 3 or 4 times a day, spacing them out, and then stop gradually.
For chronic conditions, low-dilution Arnica montana granules (> 9CH) should be taken 1-2 times a day, while basic remedies should be taken once a week, or even once a month. This decision is left to the homeopath.
What to do if there is no improvement within 24 hours
Certain pathologies cannot be treated with homeopathy simply by self-medication. Their seriousness requires medical advice, which can be given by a homeopathic doctor. This doctor will judge whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone, or whether your treatment needs to be supplemented with allopathic medicine.
