| Atrogel Arnica Gel is a traditional herbal medicinal product for the symptomatic relief of muscular aches, pains and stiffness, sprains, bruises and swelling after contusions, exclusively based on long-standing use.
The beautiful yellow Arnica montana flowers used to create this Arnica Gel are picked by hand from the fields of an organic farm in Germany.
These fields, identified after an intensive search, offer perfect soil conditions, enabling us to grow this valuable herb as the founder Alfred Vogel would have wished.

Why is it needed?
Eight million people in the UK suffer from arthritic and rheumatic complaints, with 70% of those over 70 having some rheumatic disorder. There are over 100 different disorders that fall under the heading of rheumatic complaints, affecting tissues all over the body. Inflammation is a common symptom, often causing intense pain and leading to further symptoms such as sleep loss. Inflammation is the reaction of tissues to injury and is normally connected to rheumatic disease. Blood flow to the area is increased, temperature goes up, leukocytes gather and the area reddens and becomes painful.
Conventional anti-inflammatory drugs often have unfortunate side effects, so topical preparations such as Arnica Gel, which can be useful to adjunct to internal remedies, are increasingly popular. Many inflammatory conditions, such as RSI and fibromyalgia, respond well to this remedy. How does it work? - Anti-inflammatory
- Circulatory stimulant
- Antioedematous
- Antiseptic
