Description
 
Arnica sp. 1 oz. brown glass bottle (Three month cold infusion of the root of Arnica flowers in virgin olive oil, strained and bottled).

This oil is excellent for bruises, sprains, strains and muscle aches. It should only be used externally, on unbroken skin.

Ingredients: Arnica flowers infused in olive oil.

CAUTION: Since internal use can cause irritation to the kidneys and digestive tract, take only homeopathic preparations orally. When using topically, do not use on broken skin.

Although many published herbals suggest using the entire plant, the flowers contain the most active constituents. Arnica is a perennial and it makes much more sense to pick flowers rather than destroying the whole plant. One of the rewards for such conservative harvesting is that the plants will often produce more flowers in the autumn!

Constituents: Sesquiterpene lactones, including the pseudoguanolide arnifolin, the arnicolides, helenalin, six-0-isobutyryl-tetrahydrohelenalin and two [[beta]]-ethoxy-6-0-isobutyryl-two, three-dihydrohelenalin; flavonoids including eupafolin, patuletin, spinacetin and aciniatin, plus methylated flavonoids including betuletol and hispidulin. Volatile oil, containing thymol and various ethers of thymol. Mucilage and polysaccharides. Miscellaneous resins including bitters (arnicin), tannins, and carotenes.
