Arnica ointment or cream helpful in general muscle aches

For healing:

· back pain

· bruises

· joint pain

· muscle aches

· sprains

Caution: not to be used on open wounds or broken skin

Arnica ointment, if applied straight after a blow or sprain, quickly reduces both pain and swelling, making it particularly useful for bruises. It is helpful in general muscle aches, drawing the circulation to the area and warming it. Some skins may be sensitive to it, so apply carefully the first time you use it.
