Arnica is also commonly called leopard's bane. The arnica plant has a bright yellow, daisy-like flower that blooms around July. Preparations made from the flowering heads have been used in homeopathic medicine for hundreds of years.
The active components in arnica are sesquiterpene lactones, which are known to reduce inflammation and decrease pain. Other active principals are thymol (an essential oil), flavonoids, inulin, carotenoids and tannins.
Arnica works by stimulating the activity of white blood cells that perform much of the digestion of congested blood, and by dispersing trapped, disorganized fluids from bumped and bruised tissue, joints and muscles.
Our potenised Arnica Cream is designed to support treatment of body pain, aching muscles, bruises and sprains. It was also found helpful in treating arthritic pain and skin eczema. Biovera Arnica Cream uses energized arnica and avoids the use of irritating alcohol. It is most effective if used in combination with Biovera Wellness Balm and Biovera Liquid Organic Cleanser.
