May Flowers- ARNICA

Thursday, May 5, 2011


Arnica montana is a species related to the sunflower and is also known as leopard's bane, wolf's bane and mountain arnica.


Arnica is one of the most healing flowers used in Aromatherapy. 



Arnica's extraordinary components stimulate blood flow to and from the area where it is applied. This helps the area heal more quickly. 

Arnica used following physical exertion or trauma may prevent or ease swelling, bruising and pain.

Arnica relieves swelling from insect bites, sprains, strains and arthritis. It relieves muscle and joint pain. It is fantastic for sore feet.

A must have for athletes!

Arnica is used on the scalp to increase hair growth as well.

Arnica is an anti-fungal making it a fantastic natural preservative.

Arnica is not recommended for open wounds as it can cause irritation. Also, it is not recommended during pregnancy or breast-feeding. 



I infuse fresh certified organic arnica flowers and organic plant oils to create my healing oils, salves and balms.
