Customer Reviews of Hyland's Arnica Montana, 30X, Tablets, 250 tablets (Pack of 3)
Customer Review: I HAVE BEEN AN IGNORANT ON THIS FOR TOO LONG
Summary: 1 Stars
If the product description is correct and complete, these arnica montana tablets seem only to contain nothing but lactose (sugar) and nothing else. There is no arnica montana in them, not even at the slightest molecular level. I bought them about a month ago for my tendinitis and it has not improved at all. Let me be clear about something: I love Nature and I love all the good things that it gives us in terms of food, beauty, fun and in this case medicine. Since I was a kid I've had the chance to try out and confirm the effectiveness of traditional medicine for primary health care (the "ol' granny" secret recipes for common cold, stomach aches and so forth). It was only natural that as I grew up I deeply believed in the virtues of homeopathy as a natural choice for medical treatment. However, as I read more I understood that I have spent years confusing homeopathy (that attempts to treat patients with heavily diluted preparations) with phytotherapy (the medicinal use of plant extracts). During a heated debate with a physician who criticized homeopathy I realized that I had no clue about what homeopathy truly is. I read books, browsed the web and now I know that the extreme dilutions used in homeopathic preparations usually leave none of the original material in the final product. Most of people love and believe in natural traditional medicine as well but many confuse it, as I've done for so long, with homeopathy which is NOT AT ALL the same thing. Amazon is A GREAT STORE, when I asked them specific questions about the precise chemical composition they provided me with the same vague info on the product page, and I cannot blame them as it is not their product, they only commercialize it in good faith and they can only provide the information that is passed on to them by the manufacturer. They quickly issued me a refund that I had not initially requested but that I'll use to find a REAL herbal treatment for my tendinitis. Guys (and gals) really, we ordinary people get it right with our common sense about the virtues of nature but get it wrong when we get confused and defend something as unnatural as homeopathy as opposed to phytotherapy. I firmly recommend you check the following terms on Wikipedia and the web and you will also understand: Homeopathy, Pharmacognosy, phytotherapy and ethnobotany. It's an eye-opener and if you don't find this review too long you will be able to read easily about them on Wikipedia.
