Is Boiron Arnicare gel for anti-inflammatory and stiffness?

It reduces pain, swelling and stiffness. Really wonders to reduce black & blue marks from a fall or injuries. I will never be without this gel, been using it for years. Has helped with my arthritis pain and inflammation along with Arica Montana 6X tabs.

According to what is written on the box, "Pain Relief (for) Neck, Back, Shoulder & Leg Muscle Pain & Stiffness, Swelling from Injuries, Bruising"

I have osteoarthritis in my knees. I have used everything to loosen the stiffness in the morning. This gel works incredibly well. No smell and no mess, dries quickly. It contains Arnicare which promotes natural healing. You won't be disappointed. Anywhere your muscles hurt or you have pain, rub this on. It only takes a thin layer to give you comfort. Then go enjoy your day!

I use it for muscle aches and pains, sometimes stiffness.Arm, shoulder and hand. It works well. Especially good for bruised areas, but not cuts or abrasions.

My husband uses this product for many things, he says yes it works for both but especially for the stiffness. He also likes it for the blood spots the elderly people get when they bump themselves (mostly backs of hands and arms).. hope this helps

Boswellia works to relieve pain in joint and muscles, much like aspirin but will not hurt the intestinal linings like aspirin will. I has to date no known side affects. this is also known as Frankincense or Boswellia sacra it is an anti-inflammatory drug.

Hyaluronic acid, UCII (undentured typw II collegen) Boswella Serratta extract, tumeric, cellulose, gelatin and magnesium sterate..I've been using a while and no side effects or problems...also no pain!

I agree its in between. Gel is stiff when frozen but not rigid. Can be massaged to make it more flexible.

Sorry but IDK as I switched a few months ago when my Dr told me to take the ones listed below saying the company products were tested, made in the USA and of the highest strength. One has boswellia and the other curcuminoids for inflammation. Hope this helps. http://www.amazon.com/OncoQol-by-Thorne-InflaQOL-120c/dp/B008N20DOK/ref=pd_sim_hpc_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1T06EJ1F7JRBCYTXENDJ http://www.amazon.com/OncoQol-by-Thorne-RadoQOL-60c/dp/B008N21QLO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1403376226&sr=8-3&keywords=oncoqol

This is a cream that is quickly absorbed by skin. Works wonders for any injury without broken skin. It will help with pain associated with knee injury and inflammation reduction.

It works for any joint or muscle type pain. However, we are not talking the strength of aspirin or stronger meds. In my case I can not take aspirin or anything but Tylenol type pain pills. The cream adds to that and eases aggravating aches and pains. Ir does take a a bit of time. I put it on and some 10 minutes later realize, " Oh, it doesn't bother me as much as it did." And I can then do some activities with my hands that would have been difficult earlier. One of the best advantages is that you can reapply several times a day, unlike pain pills where you have to wait 4 to 6 hours. Hope this helps you. It works for any joint or muscle type pain.

It didn't really work very well for me. I had tennis elbow. You might be better off trying some Salonpas gel.

I've tried CosiminD, knox joint powder, a Costco brand, instaflex and a couple others. The ultra bone up had a great independent rating so I tried it. Had joint pain relif in 3 weeks and has worked great. (Stopped once and the pain came back in a week)

I really like the gel. It was recommended to me but as long as it's pure arnica then I guess it's all the same. I like the gel.

Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change. Tendons take a long time to heal even when the cause of the inflammation is gone such as a repetitive motion. I had tendonitis in both elbows from my job and it took a year to resolve without curcumin at the time. Even if you do not see discernable improvement, curcumin is worth taking anyway. This particular product is high quality. I chose it after thorough research. Interestingly, research shows just taking a moderate amount is more effective than a large dose so 500mg should be enough. Hope your pain is soon improved. Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change.

The NOW Curcumin was recommended to me by a reputable vitamin store and also by my doctor for inflammation due to osteoarthritis. It is 95% and 665 mg. In 1 and 1/2 weeks all stiffness was gone and when I had the blood test 2 weeks later - had no inflammation. I wouldn't be without it. Hope this helps.

It looks like the bottle I purchased and it has helped my knees. Hope that answered your question. Mine Says MSM Arnica, Boswellia ILEX.

Okay, I've tried this three times now and each time I ache afterward. I feel inflammation and joint pain, so there is something in it that is not working for me and it could be those two items. Thank you for posting your comment BnCMama.

HI again! I wanted to add that topical treatments like this are a must.But there are some fantastic supplemental formulas too. CURAMIN is such a strong pain reliever that it out does my prescriptive pain relievers for certain types of pain. And I've had my shoulder pulled out of the socket by muscle spasms and then held there for a year while my massage therapist worked on tearing my muscles back into shape and it popped back in.

I'm not sure. I used it for inflammation like back and shoulder pain and it did a good job.

I don't know. It works incredibly well on knee and ankle injuries for me. I don't need surgery anymore and have no more pain. It is essentially the same thing as the willow curve which may be fda approved.
