The benefits of Arnica: 16 case reports

Homeopathy. 2003 Oct;92(4):217-9. doi: 10.1016/j.homp.2003.07.001.

Abstract

Following the publication of a randomised controlled trial of Arnica in hand surgery, a number of reports of apparently beneficial effects of Arnica came to the author's attention. Many of these apparent responses could have been due to other factors including the use of herbal (non-diluted) Arnica, placebo response and natural course of disease.
