Arnica

Silverstone 100% Supreme Quality Essential Oil - 12ml - ARNICA

Arnica acts as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial aid. Its anti-inflammatory activity may explain why arnica reduces swelling time in injuries, and also quickly reduces bruising. This same activity makes arnica useful for irritated insect bites. Arnicas anti-inflammatory activity activity is probably due to a number of agents, including a compound known as helenalin. Arnicas analgesic properties make arnica preparations valuable for relieving the pain of sprains, bruises and other injuries. The antimicrobial properties of arnica make it useful for minor skin irritations where infection is possible.
