Natural Remedy for Arthritis Pain: Arnicare Arthritis

Arnicare Arthritis is a homeopathic remedy that is used to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains due to arthritis. Boiron USA, a world leader in homeopathic medicines, is the manufacturer of Arnicare. Arnica Montana, a plant native to the mountains of Europe and North America, contains derivatives of thymol, which seems to have anti-inflammatory properties. A study in 2007 showed that people with osteoarthritis in their hands found that arnica worked just as well as daily ibuprofen with minimal side effects.
