Pain creams which “heat you” up or “cool you down” are classified as “counter-irritants” and usually either contain menthol (cool sensation) or a hot pepper extract called capsaicin (hot sensation). When these substances are applied to the skin, they create a “new irritation” or “counter-irritation” relative to the actual source of pain. This “new or counter-irritation” actually works by distracting the brain from the original source of your pain. However, “counter-irritants” do little to address the actual cause of your pain. So, after the effects of the menthol or capsaicin wear off, your pain simply returns. Bionica’s odourless gel does not just distract you from the pain, it actually helps to reduce the bruising, swelling, inflammation or muscle spasm that is actually causing your pain. By using Bionica you are stimulating the body’s own ability to heal naturally, getting you better – faster.

Bionica is the first complete musculo-skeletal formula. Soft tissues injuries often involve multiple structures like skin, muscle, bone, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Bionica’s 24 ingredients are specially formulated to address all elements of soft tissue injuries. Why limit yourself to only one aspect of healing when Bionica has them all covered giving you the most effective and comprehensive pain and healing gel on the market today.

Bionica is recommended for bruising, swelling, inflammation, arthritis, sports injuries, whiplash, repetitive strain injuries, tendonitis, low back pain, and soft tissue injuries especially post surgery. So, whether you experience pain and stiffness from arthritis, are involved in an auto, sports or work related accident or trying to heal after surgery, Bionica is your safe and effective choice. Recommended by doctors, used by athletes and backed by science, homeopathic Bionica is the safe and natural choice for you and your family.

Yes. Bionica and homeopathic medicines are safe and effective for all ages.

No. There has been no known reported interactions with homeopathics and prescription medications.

Bionica contains 24 synergistic homeopathic ingredients including the strongest Arnica Montana potency (30C) in a combination formula for bruising, swelling and inflammation. Bionica also contains Rhus Tox (30C) and Ruta (30C) for sprains, strains and arthritis; Magnesium Phosphorica (30C) for muscle pain and spasms along with 11 tissue salts for soft tissue repair after surgeries and soft tissue traumas.

Arnica Montana is internationally the most well known of Bionica’s 24 synergistic homeopathic ingredients. It is found throughout the mountains of Europe and Siberia and is recognized as a natural over-the-counter (OTC) ingredient by the FDA. Arnica has been sold in Europe for many years and has been a favourite of Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Athletes, Coaches and Trainers world wide. Currently, cosmetic surgeons in the US and Canada are beginning to recognize the effectiveness of arnica and are recommending it for patients as a safe and effective natural way to reduce bruising and swelling. Bionica not only contains Arnica, but it also contains 23 other synergistic homeopathic ingredients which together create the most powerful, fastest acting and most effective injury product on the market today, much more effective than products with just arnica alone. That is why Bionica is considered the most comprehensive and strongest homeopathic combination product in the world.

Arnica contains sesquiterpene lactones which are theorized to activate white blood cells by stimulating blood circulation and phagocytosis. The increase in blood circulation and phagocytosis result in aiding the elimination of congested blood and trapped fluids which are a result of bruises and soft tissue injuries of joints and muscles. Sesquiterpene lactones have also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties which aid muscular soreness, pain and joint injuries.

Homeopathy is Greek for “Like cures Like”. It is a form of natural medicine that began in the 1800s and is currently commonly used around the world. Homeopathy works by using very diluted or micro-doses of herbs, minerals or plants to stimulate the body’s own natural healing mechanisms. Medical therapies such as vaccinations and allergy treatments are similar to the basic principle of homeopathy. Homeopathic medicine can be used for both prevention and treatment and is recognized by the World Health Organization as the second largest therapeutic system in the world.

Health care professionals such as Cosmetic Surgeons, Medical Doctors, Pharmacists, Chiropractors, Naturopaths, Physiotherapists, Massage Therapists and Athletic Therapists offer Bionica as a complementary and effective healing aid during rehabilitation from car accidents, sports injuries, work injuries, arthritis, repetitive strain injuries, low back pain and post surgical soft tissue repair.

YES. There have been hundreds of studies published on homeopathic medicines. Below are only a few. Lancet Publishes Major Review of Research on Homeopathic Medicine In the September 20, 1997 issue, Lancet conducted a meta-analysis of 89 blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials of Homeopathic research. There were in total 186 studies of which 119 were double-blind and/or randomized placebo-control trials. The conclusion was that the clinical effects of homeopathic medicines are not simply the results of placebo and that the results are in fact 2.45 times greater than placebo.

The British Medical Journal, Clinical Trials of Homeopathy (Feb. 9, 1991, 302:316-323). This meta-analysis reviewed 107 studies of homeopathic medicines, 81 of which (or 77%) showed positive effects. Of the best 22 studies, 15 showed efficacy. The researchers concluded:"The evidence presented in this review would probably be sufficient for establishing homeopathy as a regular treatment for certain indications." Further, "The amount of positive evidence even among the best studies came as a surprise to us."

In the American Journal of Pain Management, Osteoarthritic Pain: A Comparison of Homeopathy and Acetaminophen ( 1998;8:89-91), a double-blinded study to document the relative efficacy of homeopathic remedies in comparison to acetaminophen for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) among 65 patients. (An IRB approved protocol). Results of the study documented better pain relief in the homeopathic group (55% achieved measured relief from homeopathy as compared to 38% from acetaminophen). The investigators concluded that homeopathic treatments for pain in OA patients appear to be safe and at least as effective as acetaminophen, and are without its potential adverse effects including compromise to both liver and kidney function.

While everyone heals differently - depending on age, health, ailment and following application instructions - typically Bionica provides relief within minutes to 24 to 36 hours of use.

Bionica is manufactured under accordance with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia guidelines of The United States (HPUS).
