Herbs: Arnica flowers - whole

 

Common Name: Arnica
Latin Name: Arnica montana

Arnica can be used externally in a muscle rub, cream or diluted tincture to speed the healing of wounds, bruises, sprains and swellings, and it increases resistance to infection. It is wonderful for calming children who may have fallen over, bumped their heads, or hurt themselves. Applied over any unbroken surface it will ease pain, relieve rheumatic joints and stiff muscles, and painful, swollen feet. Not to be taken internally or used on broken skin.


From Our Reading and/or Experience...

  • Arnica is for external use only. Do not use it internally.
  • It's excellent in decoctions, rubbing alcohol or vinegar tinctures, salves/creams, etc.
  • It's one of the best remedies for bruises as a poultice.
  • Arnica can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and while nursing), children and animals.
  • It can be used as often as you would like, and in any external application you choose.
  • It is very critical to store Arnica in a dark, dry, and cool place. Refrigeration or freezing is highly recommended, but not necessary. Following these suggestions will delay the loss of its highly valued nutritional and medicinal properties.

I ordered Nourishing Traditions several months ago, and use it religiously! Nearly every meal I make includes at least a variation of one of the book's recipes. I love it! I will be ordering a few more books I have my eyes on shortly! Thank you for great products and services!
