Herbal Arnica in Ameliorated Pain and Muscle Tenderness After Intensive Exercise?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Herbal Arnica may have a therapeutic and enhanced physical performance through reduced pain associated to overworked muscles, some scientists suggested.

 

Arnica is a herbaceous species, genus perennial, belongings to the family Asteraceae, antive to Europe and Asia, used in herbal medicine for centuries to treat strains, sprains, and bruises.

Wound healing is process of repairing after damage of skin, tissues, organs, etc.

 

 

The ingredients

Helenalin, chamissonolid, Sesquiterpene lactone, lignans of the furofuran, dibenzylbutyrolactone, dibenzylbutyrolactol types, pinoresinol, epipinoresinol, phillygenin, matairesinol, nortrachelogenin, and nortracheloside, six dibenzylbutyrolactol derivative.

 

 

Arnica used in herbal medicine in reduced bruises, sprains, soreness, and swelling and for relief of arthritis, muscle, and joint pain.

 

According to some articles in herbal medicine, application of herbal Arnica showed a significant effect in improved muscle pain and stiffness through its soothing, moisturizing comfort and relief from these symptoms activity.

 

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 53 subjects conducted by the Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program, researchers suggested that the opposite results were found after each participant received 2 tubes of cream, 1 with active Arnica and 1 with placebo.

 

According to the study, application of creams applied to the lower legs immediately after the exercise, and again at 24 and 48 hours postexercise according to the “RIGHT” or “LEFT” labels, application arnica strong increaseed Pain scores  in compared to placebo, 24 hours after exercise but the injection pronounced no difference in day 3 and day 4 again in compared to placebo.

 

The results indicated that topical Arnica exerted a significant higher in pain score instead of relieved pain as expected by the study.

 

Dr. Adkison JD, the lead author, after taking into account of other confounder said, “Rather than decreasing leg pain, arnica was found to increase leg pain 24 hours after eccentric calf exercises. This effect did not extend to the 48-hour measurement”.

 

The above differentiation were supported by the investigation of the homeopathic Arnica 30X can reduce muscle soreness following long-distance running more than a placebo conducted by the Research Council for Complementary Medicine.

 

According to Dr. Vickers AJ, the lead scientist, in the total of 519 runners anticipating delayed-onset muscles soreness after long-distance races in the observation of subjects by visual analog scale and Likert scale of muscle soreness every morning and evening for the 5 days following their race, application of homeopathic medicine (Arnica 30x) showed no different of pain scores in compared to placebo.

 

As the Mean of 2-day visual analog soreness scores for Arnica and placebo were 45.2 mm and 41.0 mm, respectively.

 

And the 95% confidence interval of the population mean was between 8.81 mm in favor of placebo and 0.51 mm in favor of Arnica.

 

However, in the investigation to determine the effect of topical Arnica in reducing pain, indicators of inflammation and muscle damage, and in turn improved performance in well-trained males experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in 20 well-trained males matched by maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2 Max) completed a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial, researchers found that topical Arnica reapplied every 4 waking hours showed a moderate in reduced pain and improved muscle tenderness three days post-eccentric exercise, but do not improved muscle damage and ameliorated inflammation through blood analysis.

 

Some researchers insisted that the conflict result of the studies may be attributed to the limitation of the small sample size, the geography, (including the climate and soil) of the herb was growth and when the herb was harvested,….. and suggested that a large sample size conduced by multi centers to viability the efficacy of herbal Arnica in either ways.
