Arnica for Faster Recovery,
Less Muscle Soreness +
Swelling Post Workout
We’re pretty thrilled to be heading to France, near the Alps, this June
to join boiron in the hand harvesting and extraction of arnica. Picture
me running through the fields singing every song from The Sound of
Music. Wait, don’t do that. I’ve found the faster, louder and more
hectic life becomes, the more I need nature—connecting,
grounding and savoring the power of plants, solitude and
self-care.
Arnica, or mountain daisy, with its bright yellow petals,
is a superpowered plant. It should wear a cape. It’s a
pain relief secret centuries old, but just now catching
on here in the U.S.

àPain Relief
Arnica is a natural pain reliever that
doesn’t just mask the pain; it actually
stimulates your body’s healing processes.
Arnica is especially recommended for pain
that derives from trauma or inflammation,
arnica offers a safe alternative remedy for
pain, without the risks associated with
over-the-counter NSAIDs or prescription
pain medicine.
àBruises
Arnica is one of the best
remedies available to heal
bruises faster. Falls, blows
and other traumas can
cause blood vessels to break
under your skin and spill
blood, causing tenderness
and discoloration. Arnica
speeds up the healing
process, prompting your
body to send more white
blood cells to clean up and
repair the bruise.

àInjuries
Arnica aids in the healing
of many kinds of injuries,
especially those that impact
soft tissues. It can reduce
pain and swelling from
sprains, strains, fractures,
bruises, overexertion and
sore muscles. Many people
find that arnica helps them
recover much faster, so they
can get back to the activities
they love.
àSwelling
Nature’s anti-inflammatory, arnica
is well-known for its ability to reduce
swelling. Thus, it offers significant
benefits in the treatment of sprains,
strains, fractures, contusions and other
injuries. Some surgeons recommend
arnica as a remedy to reduce post-
surgical swelling.
àArthritis
Arnica can ease the
pain and stiffness
of arthritis, so you can
move more freely.
Studies have shown
that applying an
arnica-based gel
or cream to an
arthritic body part
leads to significant
improvement. My
mom, with advanced
rheumatoid arthritis,
swears by it.
