Arnica is a herbaceous member of the sunflower family. It is a super anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. Usually I purchase Arnica Gel. In this post I hope to shed some light on the beneficial properties of this amazing plant!
Arnica has been studied for its ability to relieve symptoms of arthritis and osteoarthritis. It is also useful for bruises and sprains. Arnica can be purchased as a gel online or in pharmacies. I usually add essential oils to arnica that also support muscle and bone pain relief.
"Another study found that patients with osteoarthritis in their knees who used Arnica gel twice a day for 3-6 weeks saw significant improvements in pain, stiffness, and joint function" (Advances in therapy, 2002).
This is a great holistic muscle strain reducer before, during, or after intense workouts or marathons. Many marathon participants use arnica mid-marathon to make sure they can maintain their pace towards the finish line.
Arnica has also been used as a natural pain reliever during childbirth. Arnica can reduce the stress and strain on muscles. It can be applied before giving birth and after. Many midwives and homeopathic doctors recommend it for application before, during, and after childbirth.

Again, I personally utilize the healing benefits of arnica on my knees and back for muscle and bone pain. I use arnica as an all natural topical replacement for ibuprofen.
