A. Vogel Atrogel Arnica Gel

Research shows Arnica as effective as ibuprofen gel. A clinical trial was carried out to look at the effectiveness of a gel made from fresh, organic Arnica montana flower heads against one of the leading pharmaceutical gels, Ibuprofen, with very positive results. Twenty doctors in Switzerland undertook a strictly controlled study involving 204 patients using Arnica gel and Ibuprofen gel. Improvement in the two main areas had to be achieved for the study to be successful and in both cases Arnica Gel proved to be as effective as the pharmaceutical pain-killer In addition, of the patients who assessed efficacy as 'very good' or 'good', more patients in the Arnica group (64.0%) expressed satisfaction with their gel than in the Ibuprofen group (58.8%). The investigators also generally evaluated the efficacy of the Arnica gel as better than that of the Ibuprofen gel.
