Overview

Arnica Montana Macerated Oil is the #1 traditional herbal remedy for life's everyday bumps, bruises, and sore muscles. A staple for active households, athletes, and natural first-aid kits, this preparation is crafted by macerating (infusing) dried Arnica Montana flowers into a stable, nourishing carrier oil at a 1:10 ratio. The slow infusion process extracts the lipid-soluble active compounds from the flower, creating a body-warming, soothing oil designed for targeted topical relief.
