ARNICA GEL 90%

Arnica Gel 90% is easy to apply, non-greasy and absorbs quickly. For use, apply a small amount of gel to the affected area and massage with circular movements until absorbed, for about 3-5 minutes.

In case of severe discomfort, you can opt for a more intensive application: after massaging, apply a second small amount leaving a 2-3 mm thick layer of gel on the skin and cover with absorbent paper, such as toilet paper or paper towels, to promote breathability. Avoid using plastic wrap for the dressing.

Certainly! 

Arnica gel 90% for human use is derived from the original formula developed for horses, which is appreciated worldwide. Its formula has since been tested and certified for human use as well, offering the same efficacy and safety. The formulas for Arnica gel 90% for horses and Arnica gel 90% for human use are identical.

Arnica Gel 90% by Officinalis is the original because it was created in 1999 for the most famous racehorses, a product appreciated in the equestrian world for its high concentration and for its effectiveness in supporting horse performance. 

For over 22 years, Officinalis has been perfecting and developing this formula to offer effective natural support, born for the best horses and now also available for people. 

Beware of imitations and choose the original arnica for horses for human use.

Arnica Gel 90% Officinalis maintains its effectiveness for up to two years after opening. For optimal storage, it is recommended to keep it in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources, and to close the container tightly after each use.

Arnica Gel 90% is ideal for relieving muscle or tendon discomfort, in cases of bruises, minor injuries and hematomas, or to promote recovery after intense physical activity that has caused muscle strain.

Arnica Gel 90% and Arnica Oil 99% have complementary uses for muscle well-being. The gel is ideal for discomfort, bruises, and minor muscle injuries, thanks to its localized action and rapid absorption. Arnica Oil 99%, on the other hand, is particularly suitable for relieving tension and relaxing the muscles, making it perfect for soothing massages after a shower or on tight muscles.

In general, the oil is recommended for contracted or tight muscles for a prolonged, soothing massage. If the muscle is sore, applying the gel provides fast, targeted relief.

The 90% active arnica extracts indicate the high concentration and variety of extracts present in the Officinalis formula, making the product particularly effective. 

Our 90% Arnica is composed of 90% active extracts from five types of saturated extracts (that is, full-flower extracts): glyceric extract, glycolic extract, mother tincture, aqueous extract, and enhanced extract. Each type of extract uses different extracting liquids, such as water, alcohol, glycerin, and propylene glycol, each capable of extracting specific active ingredients with complementary benefits. This combination allows for the extraction of the complete phytocomplex, making it possible to harness all the beneficial properties of the plant. 

Unlike many arnica products on the market, which often contain only 2 or 3 extracts, our formula offers a richer and more complete profile. 

Always pay close attention to what the percentages in other arnica products refer to, and remember that a higher concentration does not always mean greater effectiveness. Effectiveness depends on the types of extraction techniques used and the quantity of arnica flowers used.

Arnica Gel 90% is perfect for relieving muscle and tendon discomfort, promoting recovery in cases of bruises, bumps, or hematomas, and aiding muscle recovery. It is also indicated after intense physical activity, thanks to its ability to support recovery.

White Comfrey 90%, on the other hand, is specifically for joints: it is ideal to apply on elbows, knees, wrists, or ankles to offer relief in the presence of joint discomfort. Unlike Arnica, White Comfrey 90% is therefore the ideal gel to massage around the joints to provide relief.

Arnica gel 90% is a cooling gel. The cooling effect is useful for promoting muscle recovery. Furthermore, according to Officinalis' philosophy, the cold requirement respects the nature of the Arnica plant, namely a mountain plant that grows at high altitudes, in cold climates.
