Arnica is traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving (analgesic), and bruise-healing properties. It is primarily used topically in gels and creams.
Key Healing Properties and Uses
Pain Relief: Arnica is widely used to relieve muscle aches, stiffness, and joint pain. Some studies suggest topical arnica gel may be as effective as topical ibuprofen for hand osteoarthritis.
Reduced Swelling and Bruising: A primary use of arnica is to minimize swelling and accelerate the healing of bruises (ecchymosis) caused by minor injuries or surgical procedures.
Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: Arnica contains active compounds, such as helenalin and flavonoids, which have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in lab studies.
Wound and Skin Health: It is used to aid general wound healing (on unbroken skin), soothe insect bites, and manage skin conditions like acne or dandruff.
Post-Operative Recovery: Homeopathic arnica is a popular alternative therapy for reducing post-surgical pain, swelling, and bruising, with some studies showing promising results.
