This Arnica has a sweet taste to it. I can taste the Arnica, but I want to know what that sweet taste is considering it isn't listed in the ingredients. Vegetable glycerin, water, and Arnica is listed. The product says External use only, however, my medical book says otherwise. Interesting indeed. Did use this internally for body aches due to flu and was actually surprised how fast the body aches stopped before I had a chance to swallow it. I normally place under the tounge to give myself time to work up the courage to swallow cause it's nasty, but this product was bearable and worked faster than my other brand within a few seconds. Because of this I am switching over to this brand for all my tinctures.Nothing surprised me upon reviving this product. Alleviates bruises quickly.Again, thank God no alcohol!!!I don't know how you guys use it and I know you're supposed to mix it in water And drink it. But I was in a desperate amount of muscle pain And neck pain my neck was so tight. This has been going on for about 6 weeks. Today I just rubbed it right on my muscle on my neck and shoulder. I used about a full dropper full. I don't know what happened because I've been rubbing everything on there over the last 6 weeks.... But within an hour my pain was gone. It's pretty amazing. I hope it works again tomorrow I hope it works from now on I'm so happy I feel so free for the 1st time in over a month. I suppose I should take some and water as well... just want to thank you so much for making this!!!This company makes superior products, worth the extra cost, in my opinion. I am putting a half dropper under the tongue to control pain from skin wounds, and it works very well. Arnica is very healing, and can be used on bruises. I don't know to what extent this actually fosters healing in my skin, but I just know it controls pain, and that is enough for me. I highly recommend all their alcohol free products, just wish they had a bigger selection, but hopefully over time, they will.I am using this for neck and shoulder pain. I know this medicine since long. It can be taken orally as well as massaged on the affected area accordingly.I have used it on my face where I had some breakouts and the skin had healed but I still had a lot of bruising. I rubbed a drop twice a day and in a couple of days the bruising was visibly lighter. I also took the smallest oral dose at the same time. Unfortunately, because it was an old nasty bruise it will take a little time to disappear completely but, after that I've already used it on a couple of new breakouts and as result I did not have any lingering bruise.It arrived quickly, it’s easy to use, and it works great. I mix the tincture with my tea daily. Perfect to promote healing and reduce bruising & swelling after surgery.
