Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Don't take arnica by mouth or apply it to the skin if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. But it is likely unsafe to apply arnica to broken skin because it can be absorbed into the body. When applied to the skin: Arnica is possibly safe when applied to unbroken skin, short-term. When taken by mouth it can cause vomiting, heart damage, organ failure, increased bleeding, coma, and death. Taking arnica in amounts more than what is found in food is likely unsafe. But the Canadian government is concerned enough about its safety to prohibit its use in food. It is also possibly safe to take arnica in the amounts found in food. Homeopathic products often contain no active ingredient, so side effects are unlikely. Our mission is to treat the whole person, not individual symptoms, so we will try to find the one medicine that corresponds to the whole case.When taken by mouth: Homeopathic arnica is possibly safe.
We wait and watch while the healing process takes place. This is because a homeopathic medicine stimulates your own internal healing mechanisms and while these are in action there is no need to give more. When seeing a homeopath for the first time you may be surprised if you are prescribed just a single pill - particularly so if you have been used to receiving bagfuls of medications from your doctor.
Thus the minimum, potentised dose is employed by homeopaths. This is usually simplified as follows: small doses stimulate, medium doses inhibit and large doses kill. “Weak stimuli accelerate vital activity, medium stimuli raise it slightly, strong ones suppress it and very strong ones halt it.” The concept of the minimum dose is similar to Arndt-Schultz law (named after the pharmacologist Hugo Schultz and the psychiatrist Rudolf Arndt, who formulated the law). The use of the minimum dose has the advantage that it does not produce the gross side effects so often caused by conventional treatments. This response then carries on, driven by the body’s need to maintain health and balance. Following this principle we give only enough medicine to initiate this healing response. The principle that only ‘the minimum dose’ should be employed is based upon the understanding that the stimulus of the medicine triggers the intrinsic healing response. Minimum & single dose In homeopathy two important principles are employed when prescribing medicines: the minimum dose and the single dose.
