Arnica Flower-Organic

Arnica flower is an herb that grows mainly in Siberia and central Europe, as well as temperate climates in North America. For external use, arnica is approved for use by the Commission E for injury and for consequences of accidents. Examples are hematoma, dislocations, contusions, edema due to fracture, rheumatic muscle and joint pain. Arnica oils and creams are one of the best known herbal sports medicines. Arnica flower has dramatic results if used immediately after an injury. Arnica helps speed the healing process by moving waste-bound fluids out and moving cleansing fluids and platelets into the affected area. The anti inflammatory properties of arnica flower are primarily due to its sesquiterpene lactones. These chemicals cause a reduction of inflammation by blocking the actions of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Arnica is a great addition to a first aid kit, but its use is limited to short durations because of allergic skin reactions when overused. It's also good for the build up of oil and killing bacteria on the scalp.
