Question 1

Why arent the Ingredients shown? What are the Ingredients?

Accepted Answer

Here you go -- I searched in the Q&A, I find most of my answers that way on almost all products....  hope this helps pasted below.  (Also try the pills pre/op and post/op to lessen or eliminate bruising and pain if you are doing a planned procedure, that works well for me.  As for the gel, I find that it helps, but it's really the massaging action not necessarily the gel that is helping to spread out the bruise to heal faster. I know this may be TMI and IMO of course).
 Q: how can I see the ingrediants if you cannot see the package
A: ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Arnica montana 1X HPUS-7% – Trauma, muscle pain & stiffness, swelling from injuries, discoloration from bruising
INACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Alcohol
Carbomer
Purified water
Sodium hydroxide

Question 2

I see two very similar products from the same company and can't decide between cream and gel.  Has anybody compared the two?  Thanks

Accepted Answer

Someone here said both are "odorless". I strongly disagree as I've bought/used the gel for years and it has an odor. I don't like it and decided to come here to see how well the cream works as I need it for my neck. The odor does dissipate but I'd rather the initial odor to not hit my nose so will switch to the cream.

Question 3

How does this compare to Tiger Balm?

Accepted Answer

I haven't used Tiger Balm in years due to the smell.  What I can tell you is that my Dr. recommends this for patients going into surgery.   You also have a guarantee from the company to try a  it  and if doesn't help you can return the box for a full refund.    I would give it 10 stars if I could.   My swelling, pain and bruising diminished quickly.  I suggest that you try a tube and compare it to Tiger Balm.  There is nothing to lose.

Question 4

Is this appropriate to use on a toddler? Is there any age recommendations given on the package? Thanks so much!

Accepted Answer

I have only the tube now, and not the box that it came in or any inserted literature with more information.  The tube states "Keep out of reach of children.  If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away."  In my opinion, I would not use this on a child of any age without having my physician look over the product, including the box and any inserts.   There is a website and phone number on the tube:  www.arnicare.com; phone 1-800-264-7661.   Hope this helps.
