FAQ

How long does the relief last?

Each Arnica Patch patch provides continuous relief for up to 12 hours. The hydrogel matrix delivers a steady, slow-release dose of the five active ingredients directly through the skin throughout the wear period. You can apply it in the morning and wear it through a full day of activity, or apply it before bed for overnight relief that is still working when you wake up. Most users notice the patch beginning to work within 20 to 30 minutes of application. For best results, apply to clean, dry skin and press firmly at the edges to ensure full adhesion.

Are there any side effects?

Arnica Patch patches deliver active ingredients locally through the skin, bypassing the digestive system, which is the primary source of side effects with oral painkillers like NSAIDs (stomach upset, ulcers, cardiovascular risk). The patches are generally very well tolerated, even with daily use. Do not use if you are allergic to any active or inactive ingredients, including plants in the Asteraceae family. Stop use and consult a healthcare provider if your condition worsens, if irritation or redness develops at the application site, or if symptoms persist beyond 7 days. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use. The formula is free from parabens, latex, NSAIDs, and artificial dyes.

How many patches come in a pack?

Arnica Patch is available in packs of 3, 5, or 10 patches. Each patch is an XL cut-to-fit 8 by 10 inch patch that can be trimmed to any size or shape with ordinary scissors, with no fraying and no loss of adhesion. This means a single patch can be cut into multiple smaller pieces for targeted application, or shaped precisely to fit around a joint, over an incision site, or along the curve of a shoulder or knee. The flexibility of the XL format means you are not locked into a fixed patch size, making it practical for both small and large treatment areas.

What are the pack prices?

3-pack: $60.00. 5-pack: $90.00. 10-pack: $150.00. Shipping and taxes are calculated at checkout. All orders over $50 ship free. Subscribe and Save orders receive 10% off plus free shipping on every refill. You can choose your delivery frequency: monthly, every 2 months, or every 6 months. Subscriptions can be paused or cancelled at any time with no fees or penalties. For healthcare professionals and businesses, wholesale pricing is available with a separate pricing structure, starting at a minimum order of 50 patches.

How do I apply the patch?

Clean and dry the application area before use. Remove the protective liner from the back of the patch and apply adhesive side down, pressing firmly along all edges to seal. Do not apply over broken, irritated, or sunburned skin. The patch can be cut to size before removing the liner. Wear for up to 12 hours, then remove and dispose. Allow the skin to rest between applications if using daily. For best adhesion in high-movement areas like the knee or shoulder, use medical tape to reinforce the edges.

What conditions is the patch used for?

The Arnica Patch patch is used for minor muscle soreness, joint pain, bruising, and swelling associated with overexertion, sports injuries, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery. The five active ingredients in the formula address different aspects of soft-tissue pain: Arnica Montana for bruising and inflammation, Hypericum for nerve pain and shooting discomfort, Ledum for puncture-type injuries and post-injection bruising, Rhus Tox for stiffness that improves with movement, and Ruta for tendon and ligament pain. Plastic surgeons frequently recommend arnica patches for post-operative bruising reduction after procedures including rhinoplasty, facelift, and body contouring.
