When Arnica montana Helps With

Arthritis

Rich in inflammation-fighting plant compounds like sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, it offers a diverse range of anti-inflammatory elements.

Bruising & Swelling

Accelerates the healing of bruises by prompting white blood cells to break down trapped fluid and excess blood in joints and muscles, alleviating swelling.

Sports Injuries

Rich in helenalin and anti-inflammatory compounds, it alleviates muscle soreness and
pain associated with sports injuries.

Hair Growth

Arnica fosters hair growth by nourishing the scalp, and its vasodilating properties can activate hair follicles, promoting the growth of healthy hair.

“Homeopathy offers a safe, natural alternative that causes no side effects or drug interactions.”
