Arnica Allergic Reaction. Warning!
So I recently purchased some Arnica gel and I have developed a painfully itchy red bumpy rash where I rubbed it into my skin. I was really surprised by this because I have never had an allergic reaction to anything (or at least not anything I can remember). I did some research and found that this is pretty common for people who have ragweed allergies so I wanted to warn people about using this stuff if you do have ragweed allergies because I did recommend it in the original post of this thread. Also note, I don't have a ragweed allergy and I still had an allergic reaction to it (weird, eh?). I bought a really expensive arnica gel with pure ingredients, so I don't think it's because of cheap quality. Either way, this stuff doesn't suit my skin, so in the trash it goes. I think there are still other great and better alternatives to arnica gel/cream but of course, this may work for others. I just wanted to share my experience with you all!!
Xoxo,
