- Naah, I would call it a natural remedy.
-
- As to how it works, I do not know, but my *guess* would be that it contains a
- natural analgesic.
-
- However, if you are truly serious about finding out how it works, I suggest you
- go to a university library and research the matter. A pharmacopeia might be a
- starting point, or books on the medicinal uses of plants. If none of these work,
- you could try a literature search (via the medical abstracts) for research on
- Arnica.
-
- I am confident that if you look hard enough the answer is there.
