I was told you should take 200c arnica for after childbirth so am even more confused now!

sweetbean · 24/03/2008 10:25

I think that you have to get that from a specialist as most places don't sell it because its so strong ??? God it confusing !!

They do it on ebay.
About £6 for a tub.

30 is def more stronger. For childbirth 200 is best you my also consider hypercuim which is good for if you end up having stitches. The best people to speak to is helios homeopath pharmacy phone no 01207 379 7434

Well the principle of homeopathy is that less is more - the less active ingrediant in a substance, the more efficient it it.

but do you subscribe to the homeopathy principle? Or do you wish to take arnica because the active ingredient has been shown to produce an immune response in white blood cells - in which case, surely more is more?

Or you order from website, but if you ring they are very good at giving advice.
Here a link anyway

Thanks for the link orangehead x

With regard to the principle i just want the swelling to go down quicker so the stronger the better!!!!!!!!!

I took arnica during child birth too. I was always told that the 6 was better if taken over a shorter period of time. If taking it for longer then take the 30.

The information from Nelson's Homeopathy is: Arnica 6c is used for minor injuries, sports injuries and bruises whereas the 200c potency is used for post surgery recovery.
