Arnica Massage Oil
Athletes use Arnica Oil before and after a hard workout to reduce soreness, swelling and bruising, and massage therapists use Arnica Oil on their tender/sore clients. Midwives massage Arnica Oil into the perineum and surrounding tissue to reduce swelling, soreness and bruising during crowning of the baby's head. We have many mothers thank us for using Arnica oil rather than plain Olive oil, they can feel the difference afterward!.
Our Arnica flowers are selectively wildcrafted in the early summer from Washington state. While still fresh and succulent, the flowers are expressed into an oil to create a topical remedy to treat severe bruises, sore muscles, sprains, fractures, joint pain and stiffness. Arnica Oil draws fresh blood to the surface and breaks up congested fluid to heal severe bruising of the skin, following surgery or injuries. Do not apply to open wounds.
Toning and warming skin care. Helps restore tired, aching muscles before and after physical activity. This preferred choice of massage therapists throughout the world is formulated with rejuvenating biodynamic Arnica Extract and organic Birch Leaf Extract.
Arnica Oil is primarily for external use:

Arnica oil use as a footbath for tender feet. Arnica Oil for abdominal pain (hot compress) for arthritis. Arnica oil for bruises. Arnica oil for chill blains (if skin is unbroken). Arnica Oil a oil for irritation from trauma. Arnica oil for muscle or cartilage pain. Arnica oil for rheumatism.Arnica oil for sore or painful joints. Arnica oil for sprains. Arnica oil for swellings. And is used as an oil, salve, tincture. Arnica Oil works by:
Dispersing trapped, disorganized fluids from bumped and bruised tissue, joints and muscles. Stimulating the activity of white blood cells that relieve congested blood cells washing and cleansing wounds (very diluted).

Ingredients Of Arnica Oil:
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil Unsaponisables, Parfum (Fragrance)*, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Betula Alba Leaf Extract, Limonene*, Linalool*, Geraniol*, Coumarin*.


Arnica Oil:
Massage into effected areas as needed. Repeat 2-3 times per day or as needed.
Arnica works best if applied in full concentration to the problematic area. It is less effective if applied all over the body as massage oil. Use a different oil for a massage (i.e. almond oil) and arnica on the painful area.

Knee Protection
Whenever I jump over the height of the basketball rim, I feel pain in my right knee. It will go away after a week but always return when I put pressure on it. I am 45 year of age and have a 33 inch vertical which is unusual. What can I do to protect my right knee?

Treating Bruises
Anica definitely helps but one of the tablet based products that BruiseMD offers is faster because it works from the inside out. Basically a bruise is dead protein under the skin that the body will break down over time. You need something that will help speed that process up. BruiseMD tablets have natural occurring active enzymes from papaya (papain) and pineapple (bromelain) that work to break down the dead protein directly. I think they also offer topicals with arnica, use both at the same time to speed things up even faster. This will reduce the bruise, reduce the pain, reduce the discoloration. It is also all natural so it is safe for everyone, even kids.
