VitaMedica Arnica Gel Plus 15 Healing Plant Compounds, Extra Strength Formula for Bruising, All-Natural Plant-Based Topical Gel, 2-Pack

I recently got a nasty black eye, and icing it then warm compress wasn't helping. I found this Arnica gel, and compared it (same amount of product) with the best rated Arnica from my local pharmacies. The other gels were half the price, but only contained 3 of the 15 ingredients this gel has. In short, this gel is twice the price but contains *five* times the herbs and critical ingredients. That's easy math from a cost vs benefits standpoint. I am attaching photos from Day 2, when I started using it, and Day 12. The immediate care nurse told me to expect a 4-5 week recovery, but as you can see from the photos, my skin and bruises healed in a fraction of that time! I own and operate my own business and meet with clients frequently. Everyone asking about it wears thin quickly. The directions were easy to understand: apply a **thin** coat 2-3 times daily. Similar to liquid bandaid, it will form a "skin", so I washed my face before each application for best absorption. I'm also trying to upload a short how-to video, showing my technique for avoiding getting this gel close to but not into eyes. It contains Ethanol and Benzyl Alcohol to keep the product germ-free, and it will burn/sting badly if it gets in your eye (yes, I learned this the hard way, so hopefully my video helps you avoid that!). VitaMedica has an excellent reputation in the homeopathic industry for using quality ingredients and manufacturing processes. This gel works well on any bruise, pain, or swelling when the skin is unbroken. Arnica with this mix is also great for Insect bites and many other minor injuries. Short version: Not all Arnica gels are the same. This gel has multiple herbs for pain relief that are missing from brick-n-mortar stores. Until the first application, I couldn't sleep because of the pain. On the whole, I strongly recommend spending the extra money to buy this gel. Look at the photos of my black eye's rapid healing, and decide for yourselves.

I’m satisfied with the product. Reordered recently. It seems to help with the back pain. It has no strong smell, jell like substance, easy to apply, and not sticky or messy. Seems to absorb on the skin pretty quickly.

Very effective, pain relief & bruising. Had a severe contusion between eyes which resulted in two black eyes. Big difference in fading within a week. Highly recommend.

Helps soothe the inflammation and the ache.

This Arnica Gel +15 has become a staple in my medicine cabinet. It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a greasy residue. I like using it after workouts or whenever I experience muscle soreness, stiffness, or minor aches. The soothing blend of arnica and aloe provides a cooling, comforting sensation, and the lightweight gel formula makes it easy to apply throughout the day. It's especially helpful for temporary relief from muscle fatigue, bruising, and joint discomfort. The tube is a convenient size, and a little product goes a long way. If you're looking for a natural-looking topical option for everyday aches and pains, this gel is definitely worth trying. Benefits: ✔ Helps relieve muscle soreness and stiffness ✔ Supports relief from minor joint discomfort ✔ May help reduce the appearance of bruising and swelling ✔ Non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula ✔ Contains soothing aloe and arnica ✔ Easy to apply and convenient for daily use

I have severe bruising on my feet from a hit and run that I did not report, there's just bruising and no swelling or neuropathy yet, I'm closely monitoring at home and I don't want to go to the ER and being looked down upon by doctors who feel like I'm wasting their time, meanwhile charging me $1,000 total and doctor's bills above and beyond my insurance all to be told that I'm fine. First off I don't believe in homeopathic medicine, but the bruising is going away quickly, all of the herbs that they have in this have been so diluted that there's not even one molecule from them per FDA rules, and that's good because some of the stuff like Belladonna is very toxic. So I asked AI how it worked and it said basically it's a placebo and just the act of applying the aloe vera and massaging the area will disperse the bruising quicker.

This will be my 3rd time ordering this stuff because it gives me the temporary relief I need to function. It's not a cure but just a very small amount goes along way. I use it for my knees hips shoulders elbows primarily. And then I don't have to take as much or not any anti inflammatory. It's a keeper.

A FAST-working miracle cure for pain and bruising. No scent. Gel dries and works quickly. Used after a bad fall with bruising from cheek to waist! Was recommended to me by a retired physical therapist. Bought more to have on hand for backaches and future household accidents!

Was disappointed in this product. I don't see it helping with bruise fading at all. It's quit drying on the skin as well.
