Arnica montana, also known as mountain arnica, is a flowering plant belonging to the sunflower family. The herb's medicinal properties have been widely recognized for centuries and it continues to be an important ingredient in traditional European medicine. Arnica montana is used topically to relieve pain, inflammation and bruising caused by minor injuries such as strains and sprains. The active compounds in Arnica Montana are sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, volatile oil, carotenoids, polysaccharides and tannins. Despite its therapeutic benefits, prolonged ingestion of Arnica can lead to nausea, vomiting, and dizziness while excessive application on open wounds could lead to further irritation or infection. As such it is typically not recommended for internal use without professional guidance but remains an essential ingredient in many topical applications due to its healing properties and effectiveness at reducing pain and swelling naturally.
