Native to Europe, this perennial herb has naturalized in mountainous regions across North America. Arnica flowers are generally infused as arnica oil and blended into topical formulas.
Arnica is a graceful woodland plant in the same family as the sunflower, native to Central Europe and the western United States. Its yellow flowers are collected at summer's end and dried for traditional use. There are many viable species of arnica flowers found around the globe, some of which are found in North American mountain ranges and woodlands.
The most commercially available species isArnica montana, which is the species available for purchase from Mountain Rose Herbs. This species of arnica is native to Europe, with a natural range stretching from the southern Iberian Peninsula to Scandinavia. The plant has large flower heads with brilliant yellow coloration. Flowers begin to appear during mid-summer and continue blooming well into autumn. For best results, they should be harvested early in the blooming season. The dried flowers are fluffy and fibrous and can be irritating to the nose if handled improperly. Additional common names include European arnica, leopard’s bane, and mountain tobacco.

I burned myself pretty bad when making marinara sauce. A bit found my hand after boiling out of the pot. I put this salve very generously on the burned area immediately and then finished the sauce. I never experienced that burning feeling after that. I continue to put the salve on the area while it heals.
I have been slowly eliminating toxic products from my everyday routine and these wool dryer balls are a great alternative to dryer sheets. The price is right and the quality is exceptional. I live in LA and everything non-toxic is so over priced. I love visiting Apotheke DuJardin and stocking up when I’m in town.
This has become an absolute nonnegotiable in my skincare routine. My kids know it as “mommy’s face stick” because I bring it everywhere. I had TERRIBLE acne for years. The moisture that this replenishes my skin with has actually healed the acne.
