Arnica montana, a natural plant that is scientifically proven to relieve heal bruises, muscle aches and general sprains, has achieved its high ranking in the medical community because of its flowers that, after careful and laboratorial extractions, produce an ointment perfect for the alleviation of muscle pain. Arnica comes in the form of a gel, cream or oil.

How does it work

The active chemical in Arnica helps reduce swelling, lessen pain and act a natural biotic. It has the ability to:

• Aid chronic ailments such as symptoms of arthritis
• Supports arthritis pain through its anti-inflammatory properties
• Increase blood circulation through its Eastern herbs

How to take it properly

Whether you are applying a liniment, oil or gel, it’s suggested that you never ingest Arnica in any way. Doing so can lead to unwanted side-effects such as dizziness, nausea and in extreme cases, fatality. However, applying it topically is very safe, though it should never be applied to damage or broken skin, in which case, it can cause irritation.

Arnica’s future 

Arnica is so effective that the active chemicals are being used in trials by pharmaceutical companies to be given orally. There are a few products on the market in Australia that offer Arnica in the low dosage form of the active ingredient; however, it is still widely recommended that you consult your doctor before you consider purchasing oral medication.

Natural, herbal remedies have been used around the world since ancient times, but were perhaps forgotten or had taken a back seat with the arrival of modern medicines. However, just like naturally occurring penicillin, which is now harvested pharmaceutically, Arnica has the power to help people who are suffering from muscle aches and pain, bruising or general sprains.

For example, the Zen Sports Spray contains 20mg of the Arnica montana flower and less herbs, making it extremely effective to treat symptoms of muscle pain.
