No, I didn't, thanks. interesting, but woefully incomplete. it amazes me that so many people feel it is an effective remedy and yet there is (comparitively) so little research. No $$ in it, I guess. (I mean this in the why isn't there more research rather than the why do they feel it is effective sense)

Re-reading, I realise I come across as totally ant-arnica, anti-alternative etc. and I'm not at all. I have arnica gel. I just didn't notice any effect, except that the gel made the icepack stick too much... Well OK maybe I am a bi anti -but I'm anti everything until i see proof. Ish. but I try most things too, unless I see proof that they're more harmful than good. I'm certainly not in the Rx drugs only camp.
