message: Yes, arnica DOES relieve muscle pain, reduce inflammation, and has even stopped bruising.  Homeopathic medicine has a sublingual pill form.  The article does not mention that fact.

replies: text: I see nothing in either article (which should be merged BTW) that suggests there is any scientific basis for these claims. Does anyone have one? What is the proposed mechanism for action? Maury 13:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Arnica's pain relieving qualities 

message: I think some work needs to be done to improve the therapeutic properties section. I suggest that a clear distinction be made between arnica’s homeopathic use and herbal use. These are two different categories with different philosophies. Also by stating, “In homeopathy arnica is used for...” it renders the demand for a scientific basis irrelevant, because it is merely a statement about homeopathy not a scientific fact about arnica. I am not qualified to rewrite this article, this is just a suggestion.--Remark knights (talk) 14:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree there's a big difference. Was about to add a section about this. On jars of the cream it's identified as "herbal cream". Homeopathic dilution contradicts this. Too tired to work out the para right now maybe later. Manytexts (talk) 11:37, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Second that. Claims of certain causation must be backed with substantive, peer-reveiewed research. General Ludd (talk) 02:23, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Therapeutic Properties 

message: A wonderful reliable source of which the article should take advantage. I added some material from it which wasn't present in the article, but there is more in this source to be used if desired. -- Levine2112 discuss 02:29, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The article heading is in italics -- any reason?  Is it because it's the genus? if it is, disregard my qn. Manytexts (talk) 10:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strangely 

message: In the paragraph on medicinal properties, the first few lines state there have been no studies to prove mdeicinal properties. Then there's reference to a study on using extract from the plant which showed benefits after surgery. That's an applicable study, surely? Madgenberyl (talk) 16:46, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nah it's completely ineffective, hence why its used in conventional medications such as A535. We all know scientific studies are absolute and money is NEVER used to obscure study results. Scientists are ALWAYS honest and there has never been a single case (besides all those cases) where scientists are wrong, biased, or bribed. Therefore, anecdotal evidence means nothing (as it does with the people that feel sick from wind turbine shadows), and you're wrong, always. </sarcasm> - Floydian τ ¢ 05:03, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Medicinal properties 

message: The link refering to "Royal Society of Medicine Article concerning testing involving Arnica (RSM)" does not refer to medical article involving Arnica, but to an article about the need to test complementary/alternative medicine. Although I think it is an useful article, I think it would be better suited in an article about alternative medicine in general, not a specific alternative medicine. An article concerning the (possible) effects of Arnica I think however would be a good alternative. (Siets (talk) 14:52, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
