Potential Side Effects

While arnica is often praised for its soothing properties, it can lead to some adverse reactions, particularly when misused. Individuals may experience allergic skin reactions, which can manifest as redness, itching, or burning. Prolonged application might heighten skin sensitivity, causing further irritation.

Ingesting arnica can pose risks as well, potentially leading to nausea or digestive upset. Additionally, those with existing skin conditions may find their symptoms exacerbated, or wound healing could be delayed. There’s also a possibility of interactions with blood-thinning medications when arnica is used extensively.

• Common reactions include:
  • Redness and itching
  • Burning sensations
  • Increased skin sensitivity
  • Nausea if ingested
  • Worsening of existing skin conditions

People taking anticoagulant medications or with bleeding disorders should consult a healthcare professional before using arnica. Furthermore, it’s advisable to avoid applying it to open wounds or broken skin. Children under two years old should also avoid arnica due to their more sensitive skin.
