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.

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.
