Medicinal Properties
Arnica is primarily for external use in injury, strain and accidents. For example: hematoma,
dislocations, and contusions, edema due to fracture, rheumatic muscle and joint problems. Used for
inflammation of the oral and throat region, inflammation caused by insect bites and superficial phlebitis.
When applied topically, arnica preparations have antiphlogistic activity. In cases of inflammation,
arnica preparations also show analgesic and antiseptic activity. A hair rinse prepared with arnica

Used for Protection & Invisibility
Add to protection sachets, to guard against vampires and werewolves. Also used by werewolves to
cure themselves, interestingly. The seed, wrapped in a lizard's skin and carried allows you to become
invisible at will.
Did You Know? (Background)
Native to the mountains of Russia and Europe, the leaves were smoked as a substitute for tobacco,
hence its common name: mountain tobacco. Arnica has a long history of use, appearing in recorded
folk remedies for six centuries. Used for external treatment of wounds, black eyes, sprains, and
contusions. Arnica has been used in Russian folk medicine to treat uterine hemorrhage, myocarditis,
arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris, cardiac insufficiency, and numerous other unproven applications.
Safety
Arnica is recommended for external topical applications only. Prolonged treatment of damaged skin,
e.g., use for injuries or indolent leg ulcers often causes edematous dermatitis with the formation of
pustules. Long use can also give rise to eczema. In treatment involving higher concentrations of the
drug, primary toxic skin reactions with formation of vesicles or even necroses may occur.
