Seasonal changes can set off arthritic
aches and pains, but you can help relieve the discomfort with arnica (Arnica montana), a daisy-like
mountain flower. Try rubbing tincture, cream, or gel on sore spots. Don't use
on broken skin, and never take arnica internally unless in the form of a
homeopathic remedy. To make an arnica compress, mix one tablespoon of arnica
tincture in one pint of purified water. Dip a gauze pad in the mixture, then
put it on the troublesome joint or bruised area. Look for pure arnica extract
for preparing topical applications.
