Arnica — Nature’s Classic for Bumps & Bruises

From weekend warriors to busy parents, bumps and bruises are simply part of life. For centuries, the bright yellow blossoms of Arnica (Arnica montana) have been treasured in traditional herbalism for their remarkable soothing qualities.

A Time-Honored Remedy

Arnica has been known to ease the discomfort of everyday mishaps — from minor falls and sore muscles to swelling after long days of activity. In fact, it has been a staple in European folk medicine for generations, and it remains one of the most popular herbs for topical use today.

How It’s Traditionally Used

Arnica flowers are usually infused into oils, creams, or salves, and applied directly to the skin. Herbalists have long recommended it for:

  • Everyday bumps and bruises 🌼
  • Sore muscles after exercise 💪
  • Minor swelling and sprains 🦶
  • General aches after overexertion 🧘

Why We Love Arnica

We’re grateful to carry Arnica oil and salve.  Our Muscle rub salve is also made from our arnica salve base. Arnica is a simple, natural way to support the body’s recovery process. While it’s not meant for open wounds or internal use, it can be a trusted part of your herbal cabinet for topical comfort. Arnica contains helanalin, known for pain relieving and inflammation managing properties!


💕 A Gentle Reminder

Every body heals differently. Herbs like arnica can be supportive, but they’re not a replacement for medical care. Always check with your healthcare provider if you’re unsure about your needs.

Nature offers us small, simple allies for life’s bumps along the way — and arnica is one of the classics.
