Arnica Oil (Alcohol Free)

Arnica is the pre-eminent remedy for trauma, injuries, and accidents and is a common part of first aid kits and home medicine cabinets. This topical oil is massaged into painful tissue that has been traumatized from an accident, athletic event and overexertion. Massage Therapists and Chiropractors commonly use arnica oil on muscle and joints that are problematic in order to disburse congested fluids in a painful area. Arnica works as a fluid transport stimulating herb. It moves interstitual fluids through ischemic tissue. Ischemic tissue is tissue that has diminished oxygen content because of restricted blood and fluid flow. This congested or stagnant tissue is usually like this because of a muscle contraction or spasm. These contractions are usually the result of the above-mentioned uses for arnica that includes trauma, injuries, accidents, overexertion and other muscle tension. In other words, arnica opens up this painful tissue so it can heal and stop the pain cycle. As a result of the increased circulation, cellular waste is removed, bruises clear up, pain diminishes, tissue heals, tissue oxygenates and recovery time is significantly reduced. Athletes find arnica reduces potential for injury, reduces recovery time from injury and bruising. Great for the daily bumps and bruises inevitable in life and especially childhood. It is safe for kids. Reduces the discomfort of dental work, chiropractic manipulations, and pain from deep massage work.
