This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

Arnica is commonly used in 30C and 200C; potency selection is a clinical decision for your homeopath.
The characteristic picture & modalities
Arnica Montana is the best-known homeopathic remedy for injury and trauma, with a hallmark bruised, sore, beaten feeling anywhere in the body. The picture typically follows a fall, blow, over-exertion or surgery, where the bed feels too hard and the person is worse from touch and jarring. A characteristic mental note is insisting nothing is wrong and wanting to be left alone. As with every remedy, this is a recognisable symptom pattern rather than a diagnosis, and it fits only some of the people facing such complaints.
Before you take Arnica Montana
Fitting a remedy to the whole individual - the nature of the injury, the modalities and the overall state - is the judgement a qualified homeopath is trained to make, so the same name is not right for everyone with similar soreness. Treat this page as background reading, not a prescription, and avoid choosing a potency yourself. For significant injury, or before and after surgery, seek medical assessment and tell your treating doctor what you take; homeopathy is best used as a supportive, individualised approach alongside appropriate care.
