Arnica - For external use only. Think of Arnica in cases of physical shock to the nervous system such as a tooth extraction, broken bones, headaches, blows to the head, sprains, and physical shock to the nervous system due to bosses, the stock market, raising children, rush hour traffic, etc. For external application simply apply the extract directly to the area, or for a more serious injury, dip cotton or gauze in the extract and wrap it around the affected area. An overnight soak can be made for serious cases by putting 40 to 80 drops in a cup of water and dampening a cloth or gauze with the solution and covering the injured area. Cover this plastic sandwich wrap and hold in place with a bandage. Change the dressing once a day to allow the area to dry before reapplying the dressing. If the skin is sensitive, then apply Vitamin E oil from 100 to 400 i.u. (International Unit) capsules prior to the dressing. The area can also be washed between dressings. Be sure to discard old dressing and never reuse. Most sprains respond rapidly and are usually corrected with a single overnight dressing or a simple single external application by rubbing in the drops. Arnica can also be used on the pulse points - 5 to 10 drops on each wrist and temple and back of the neck for emotional and physical shocks, upsets, anxiety or when frightened. For sore throat remedy, spray with a spray bottle the sore area, using a mixture of 10 drops of the extract to one tablespoon of water. With arthritic and rheumatic pain, external applications to the unbroken skin are used. Arnica’s action is swift in recent injury. Repeat as needed. For older injuries, be prepared to work for 2 to 3 weeks. If dental work, apply to face and neck before and after treatment. If surgery, apply to area to be worked on and after surgery apply around the area.
