The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Arnica question
I have been dealing with some insomnia for about 3 weeks. Last night I discovered this forum and for the first time heard of arnica. Of course, I went right out and bought it. I mixed the 3 pellets in spring water and took some before bed. I took what I thought at the time was a sip. Now, looking at the bottle, it looks like it was way more than a sip - maybe up to half of a cup. This morning I am having some bowel discomfort - cramping. So, now, I am paranoid that I have taken a toxic dose. I guess my question is: should I be worried and see a doctor or am I going to be OK? And another question: What to do from here - lay off the Arnica or...? Any input would be appreciated. Many thanks.denisep on 2011-01-13

'This morning I am having some bowel discomfort - cramping. So, now, I am paranoid that I have taken a toxic dose.'
You can rest assured that the half cup of water you drank from the bottle is by no means the reason for your stomach cramps. It is very likely due to some food you ate for dinner.
As you can imagine, just 3 pellets of Arnica (was it 30c?) cannot possibly affect you as it is a potentized Homeopathic remedy where the presence of Arnica is too infinitesimal to be even quantified, let alone case any problems. You could have drunk even the contents of the whole bottle and it would have been absolutely safe.
I note however that you did not record on whether the remedy helped your insomnia.
You may like to know that I have pioneered in promoting Arnica for many ailments which I have recorded on:
ARNICA THE MIRACLE REMEDY

I have always promoted that the Wet dose is used to take any Homeopathic remedy and this is made as follows:
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.

Many thanks for your input.
To answer your question, I believe the Arnica did help my insomnia. I slept later this morning (by one hour) than I have slept in many weeks. So, I am very encouraged by that.
I feel a little silly for my 'paranoia.' And I am very grateful that you took the time to respond. I also appreciate your guidance for future dosing.
By the way, the pellets were 12c. So, now, I presume my paranoia was not only unfounded, but very, very unfounded.
Many thanks again.

Actually, I think the Arnica helped my sleep more than I realized. I was just thinking about it and realized I slept for about 7 hours last night, as opposed to the 3-5 hours I have been getting. Again, that is encouraging.

Glad to note that all is well.
I do appreciate your concern about your stomach cramps and you are advised to investigate the real reason behind them which was obviously due to the food you ate at dinner.
Since you have been helped by the Arnica 12c pellets in the Wet dose you can take just a capful of the remedy just before bed and you should experience a change of life as Arnica not only promotes sleep but it will open up a new page in your life which you can read about in my website.
I have invariably used and prescribed Arnica 30c for insomnia but from your report it seems to me that the 12c potency even in the pellets is equally effective.
Report your progress from time to time but most of all keep taking it nightly as I have done for the last 16 years and I believe that I have proved that at age 82 I owe to Arnica the sense of well being that I now enjoy without any aches and pains which are accepted as the price of my advanced years, thanks to Arnica.
