Reason for use
Arnica is one of our most valuable remedies in articular or muscular rheumatism arising from a traumatic condition, when the accompanying symptoms correspond.
In inflammatory rheumatism it may become of use when the great prostration, together with the excessive sensitiveness to touch, is present.
In whatever condition, the sore bruised feeling is always present, and paramount in importance.
It follows well after Aconite, Veratrum viride and Apis.
After Arnica, Aconite, Arsenicum album, Bryonia and Rhus tox. follow well.
