Common Uses

Arnica helps reduce inflammation and therefore soothes the pain. It aids wound healing by improving the blood flow to the area, and helps soothe the nerve endings. Arnica also has counter-irritant properties, (isomeric alcohols) which help increase local circulation. It has been used for the temporary relief of a deep-seated painful irritation. Helps stimulate peripheral blood supply, thereby promoting speedy repair of bruises, sprains and swellings.

Suggested Dosage

Apply freely to affected parts. Patch test on a small area of skin for any allergic activity.

Health Information

Arnica is one of the most frequently used homoeopathic remedies. Extracts from the plant Arnica montana have been traditionally used in both herbal and homoeopathic form for many years, to help minimise the immediate effects of tissue trauma from various causes and assist in the healing process. It has also been used in certain hospital settings in Europe, for example Homoeopathic and Anthroposophical Hospitals. The traditional uses for Arnica include helping the body's normal defence mechanism in times of trauma. Homoeopathy uses micro-doses of medicament which work to stimulate the body's own defence system. These remedies have no side effects, and are gentle enough to be used by all members of the family.
