Product Overview
Hilde Hemmes Herbals Arnica Herbal Cream 100g
Arnica has traditionally been used in western herbal medicine to reduce mild muscle inflammation, promote the healing of bruises and relieve:
- muscle pain and soreness
- mild joint swelling, aches and pains
- symptoms of muscle sprain / strain and injury
Arnica is native to the mountainous regions of Europe where it can grow up to two feet high. It can also be found in Asia and North America where natives referred to arnica as 'mountain tobacco' and 'leopard's bane'.
Arnica's orange-yellow flower heads supply a therapeutic volatile oil that contains fatty acids, aromatic terpenes, flavonoids and tannins. It is popular in Germany where more than a hundred medicinal preparations are made from the plant.
