What a friendly group. Thanks again for the welcome. I imagine the arnica pearls they were discussing were homeopathic. However, I never suggest taking arnica internally. Also, you must be careful with arnica gels or salves to not apply to broken skin. Skin that is intact is totally okay as the sesqueterpines cannot cross the skin. However, if the skin is broken (open wound, cuts), there could be a problem. Why risk it?
