Dr. Bunke’s own creation, Recova Cream is an Arnica-based product, but unlike OTC Arnica preparations, combines other antioxidant, pro-healing compounds to enhance the skin’s ability to repair and recover. It includes menthol, grapeseed extract, and other flavonoids that have been shown to reduce vein-related leg symptoms like leg fatigue and swelling.
