ALL ABOUT ARNICA

Arnica is a powerful plant with a long history of use in herbal medicine, especially for its ability to ease pain and promote healing. 

Uses and Benefits

Arnica is primarily used externally, though it has some oral uses in homeopathic medicine. Here’s a breakdown of its common applications:

• Bruise Healing: One of the most famous uses of arnica is to speed up the healing of bruises and reduce swelling. It helps by increasing blood circulation and reducing inflammation.
