Arnica Gel is made from the "mother tincture" of the Arnica plant. If it does not say homeopathic it is the full strength version. The homeopathic version works well too. Arnica works beautifully on bruises but not on insect bites. If the bite looks bruised, is hot, senistive to the touch and you feel a bit feverish, you might have an infection. See your doctor about this if you have these symptoms.
