arnica montana

Also known as:

Leopard's Bane

Uses:

  • Arthritic and rheumatic complaints
  • Inflammatory pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Sports injuries
  • Repetitive strain injury (RSI)

Description:

Arnica has been used in homoeopathic medicine for hundreds of years but has now been discovered to possess powerful anti-inflammatory action when used externally as a herbal preparation.

What does it do?:

Arnica contains active components that have a marked anti-inflammatory action. Arnica stimulates the activity of white blood cells that disperse congested blood. It also releases fluid from bruised or traumatised areas, stimulating circulation and acting against bacterial infection. A pain-killing effect results from these actions.

Other information:

For external use only. Diabetics should never self treat for any condition of the leg or foot.
