I checked out the Topricin--- this is a homeopathic remedy. Now I've explained this so often I could just scream....
Those numbers after each ingredient indicate that the concentration is miniscule..in the millionths of a gram. That is how homeopathy works, by diluting things to infinity and then convincing people that it is working (70% of many responses are placebo in reality).
The arnica in it, used in higher concentrations has been used for centuries, and some people find it helps with muscle strains, etc.
So I would not expect any homeopathic remedy to help PN. After all we need research into cellular failure. For a good example, is the post I made on CMT..and vitamin C... this is theorized to be an intracellular effect on oxidation. I do think perhaps some antioxidant effect, or a sorbitol blocker may be more reasonable. Things like Topricin or this Restore do not have prove efficacy thru the FDA. They can put anything in those creams, and sell to desperate people!
