Arnica (Arnica Montana)
Also known as: arnica montana, mountain tobacco
What it is
Arnica montana is a yellow-flowering plant native to mountain meadows in Europe and Siberia. Its topical use as a folk remedy for bruises, sprains, and sore muscles goes back centuries — long enough that arnica preparations have been studied in modern clinical settings for post-exercise soreness, post-surgical bruising, and mild traumatic injuries with mixed but generally encouraging results.
The arnica salve stick is not currently in stock.
