Weleda Arnica Massage Balm 100 ml Herbal Relief for Muscular Pain

I've been using this Weleda product for many years after it was recommended to me by a friend, who in turn had been recommended it by a physiotherapist following a sports injury. Although it can leave my skin feeling a little oily I find that applying this in the evening after a shower or bath really helps to ease all sorts of aches and pains. I have found it particularly helpful on my back, neck and shoulders but have also used it on my legs and even on my hands after a day of particularly heavy work in the garden. If I've used the Arnica oil and don't wake up the next day feeling better then I know that I have a really bad injury. The bottles are given an expiry date by the manufacturer but I often find that because so little is needed each time it is used there's usually still some left by the time that date comes around. However, I have continued to use it beyond that date with no discernible difference in either the oil or the effect that it has for me.

Good item good service

First I must acknowledge that this is listed as a massage balm - I do just use it on the skin as and when needed for fibromyalgia pain. I use it in combo with the Weleda Arnica bath soak and it just makes me a lot more comfortable. A Weleda rep I spoke to said that this and the bath soak are very high in arnica and shouldn’t be used during pregnancy however. Makes sense as to why it’s so effective. Have also referred friends onto this and they say it’s made a big difference to them too. Just nice to massage onto your body before bed for a restful nights sleep!

My mother, a nurse with over 40 years of experience, absolutely swears by arnica for its ability to promote speedy healing, and this Weleda Arnica Massage Balm certainly lives up to that reputation. It's a truly effective product for soothing and aiding recovery. The balm itself is oily, but don't let that deter you as it absorbs surprisingly quickly into the skin, so you're not left feeling greasy for long. While the scent might not be for everyone (it has a distinct herbal, almost medicinal aroma typical of arnica products), it's important to remember that with a product like this, it's not about the scent; it's about its effectiveness. And effective it is! With regular use, I've found it genuinely helps with bruising, muscle soreness, and general aches. It provides a comforting warmth and seems to accelerate the body's natural healing process, just as my mother has always championed arnica for. If you're looking for a natural, potent balm to aid recovery from bumps, bruises, or muscle fatigue, and you prioritize genuine therapeutic benefit over fragrance, the Weleda Arnica Massage Balm is an excellent choice. It's a staple in our household for a reason.

Sceptical but this product definitely brought relief. I rarely review an item but I keep this in the bathroom and apply a 5 pence piece worth 2-3 times per day to my knees and I can feel it kick in within 5/10 mins of a good massage in around my knee joints taking particular attention to the areas of soreness.

Love this for a warming massage. Bought it as have had some muscular pain in legs and knee and hip joint issues. It did feel nice rubbing in but wouldn't say it brought more than momentary relief of pain to be honest and my pain is more low level anyway so i wouldn't buy this hoping for miracles. Smells lovely, feels more like oil than balm so that was interesting, but it feels nice for a massage.

I initially bought this for my mum’s back after a fall and it really helped manage her pain. I’ve been suffering from medial ankle pain and thought I’d give it a try. I was very impressed, after massaging my ankle and foot, the relief was bliss. The pain hasn’t gone completely but enough for me to be able to walk around without hobbling. I should now be able to manage some exercises as well, whereas before I could hardly move my ankle without it hurting like mad. I’ve since learnt that this particular product comes highly recommended, well I can endorse that.

Bought this for massage of a very painful plantar fasciitis. It wouldn’t cure it of course but massively helped the healing process.
