About the Ingredients

Arnica Flowers

Arnica (Arnica montana) has been traditionally used since the 1500s for topical muscle and bruise support.

Historically used to help:

  • Soothe sore muscles
  • Support bruised areas
  • Ease physical discomfort
  • Calm minor swelling after bumps and strain

Arnica is commonly used in salves, creams, oils, and liniments intended for external use only.

Because arnica can cause serious side effects when taken internally in non-homeopathic forms, traditional herbal arnica preparations are generally reserved for topical use.

Olive Oil

A nourishing oil rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that helps moisturize the skin while carrying herbal constituents into the skin.

Beeswax

Helps protect the skin barrier while locking in moisture and creating the smooth salve texture.


Suggested Uses & Application

Apply topically as needed to:

  • Bruises
  • Sore muscles
  • Minor swelling
  • Overworked areas
  • General body aches

Massage gently into affected areas as needed.


Texture & Feel

  • Thick, smooth herbal salve
  • Deeply moisturizing
  • Easy to massage into sore areas
  • Mild earthy herbal scent
