A.Vogel Arnica gel - Atrogel (100gms) - for ,muscular aches and pains and sprains.
WE ARE THE LARGEST SUPPLIERS OF ARNICA GEL ( ATROGEL ) IN THE UK - AS SEEN IN THE NATIONAL PAPERS
Historically, Arnica was used both internally and externally.
However, during the course of time, it has been used externally much more and today is only available internally as a homoeopathic remedy.
Applied externally, it is a very popular remedy for easing the pain and swelling of bruises as it is analgesic and has healing properties.
But we now know that this amazing herb is beneficial for arthritic aches and pains and even for muscular aches and sprains.
It has been clinically proven for its anti-inflammatory action on topical application.
In fact, one of the most recent clinical trials investigated how beneficial a gel made from fresh arnica tincture is for osteoarthritis of the knee.
(Arnica Montana Gel in Osteoarthritis of the knee: An Open Multicentre Trial, Kneusel, Weber & Suter, 2002)
The trial lasted six weeks, and almost 90 percent of the patients improved. After the third week a significant reduction of pain and stiffness in the knee was reported.
As so many people suffer from arthritis it is a blessing that this herb may help, and of course it can be used alongside glucosamine sulphate and Devil’s Claw internally.
Uses:
• Arthritic and rheumatic complaints
• Inflammatory pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Sports injuries
• Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
Description:
Arnica has been used in homoeopathic medicine for hundreds of years but has now been discovered to possess powerful anti-inflammatory action when used externally as a herbal preparation.
How it works:
Arnica contains active components that have a marked anti-inflammatory action. Arnica stimulates the activity of white blood cells that disperse congested blood.
It also releases fluid from bruised or traumatised areas, stimulating circulation and acting against bacterial infection. A pain-killing effect results from these actions.
Additional advice:
For external use only. Diabetics should never self treat for any condition of the leg or foot.
A.Vogel Atrogel Arnica Gel is the first product in the UK to receive a licence under the Traditional Herbal Medicines Directive which came into force in November 2005.
It is a traditional herbal medicinal product for the symptomatic relief of muscular aches, pains and stiffness, sprains, bruises and swelling after contusions, exclusively based on long-standing use.
