Single Homeopathic Remedy – Arnica montana
Common Name
Leopard’s bane, Mountain arnica
Key Characteristics
Sourced from the Arnica montana plant, this remedy is safe and widely used for dogs in homeopathic potencies like 30C.
It is a go-to for physical trauma, bruising, and soreness, helping to ease pain and speed healing.
Arnica shines when dogs feel achy or stiff from overexertion, injury, or surgery, especially if they are sensitive to touch or seem to say, “I’m fine!” despite obvious discomfort.
It is most effective right after an injury or stressful event.
When to Use Aconite for Dogs
Arnica is ideal for dogs showing signs of pain, stiffness, or emotional upset after physical strain or trauma, such as:
- Injuries and Bruising
Bumps, falls, or blows causing soreness or bruising (even if not visible).
Dog may flinch when touched or avoid pressure on the sore spot.
Great for muscle aches after a rough tumble or accident.
- Post-Surgery or Dental Work
Reduces swelling, pain, and bruising after procedures.
Helps dogs recover faster from the physical stress of surgery or tooth extractions.
- Overexertion
Stiffness or limping after too much play, a long hike, or intense exercise.
Dog might act restless or struggle to get comfortable.
- Shock or Trauma
Emotional upset or fear after a scary event (like a fight or near-miss).
Pairs well with physical symptoms like trembling or soreness.
- Minor Bleeding
Supports healing in small cuts or scrapes with mild bleeding (not for heavy bleeding — see a vet).
Times of Day for Arnica
The theory of Times of Day suggests that certain remedies have characteristic indications that match particular phases of the day based on when symptoms are most likely to appear or intensify, and aligning the remedy’s vibrational frequency with optimal time windows when its effects harmonizes with the body’s needs can enhance its healing potential (click here to read more about the theory).
