Arnica is traditionally used in homeopathic medicine in treating different kinds of ailments especially when it comes to muscle soreness, bruises and sprains. It is renowned for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties that's why it is essential in every household.
It is well-known for being an instant and effective natural painkiller, the reason why professional athletes usually use arnica products as their first aid relief if they encounter training and exercise-related injuries.
Having an arnica-infused product is a must, especially if you’re clumsy, an athlete or if you do a job that requires manual labour since you are prone to having wounds, bruises and sprains.
Read and know more about this pain-relieving oil and what it can do for your health.
Arnica has a scientific name of Arnica montana, wherein these are herbaceous plants of the Asteraceae family. Its name arnica could be derived from the Greek word “arni” that means “lamb”, because of its hairy and soft leaves.
It is a wildflower that is native to the high mountains of Central Europe and the western part of the United States, the reason why it is also called European arnica and mountain tobacco. It was also called leopard’s bane and wolf’s bane since it is believed that this plant can be poisonous to animals.
This plant can grow in mountain ranges that are up to 3,000 feet above sea level and the higher the altitude, the arnica flowers can become more aromatic. The extraction method used to produce pure arnica essential oil is through steam distillation of arnica flowers.
1. Anti-microbial Properties. When applied topically, it can promote skin health and reduce appearances of acne since it contains anti-microbial properties. It can also give relief to insect bites, skin infections and eczema by soothing inflamed areas of the skin.
Apply arnica and gently massage a small amount into the affected area as instructed by your healthcare professional. Arnica can be in the form of cream or gel and for best results you should use it as soon as possible after an injury occurs. Repeat it two to three times a day or as needed. You can use Weleda Arnica Cream 36ml or Brauer Arnicaeze Arnica Gel 100g.
For Oral UseChildren and Pregnant Women. This kind of products need to be kept out of reach of children for it may cause serious side effects like seizures when not properly administered. If you are pregnant or nursing, you should consult your healthcare provider or aromatherapist before using the oil externally or internally.
Allergic Reactions. Arnica oil has a compound called helenalin that can cause allergic reactions in hypersensitive individuals that might irritate your skin and can cause you rashes. Therefore, an allergic reaction to arnica essential oil should be considered a medical emergency.
Digestion Problems. Arnica oil can cause gastrointestinal irritation, so don’t use products that contain arnica oil if you have digestion problems such as ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and other stomach conditions.
High Blood Pressure. Arnica oil can increase your blood pressure readings, so do not take arnica oil internally if you have high blood pressure as this can increase your risk of having a stroke or heart attack.
Surgery. Arnica might cause increased bleeding during and after surgery so do not use it at least 2 weeks before your scheduled surgery.
