Arnica spp.  Asteraceae Family (sunflower)

I have personally harvested Arnica near Boulder & Durango Colorado at sub-alpine regions in the mountains. I gather the flowers and leaves to make medicinal linaments & oils for topical use and the flowers for flower essences, which can be used both topically and internally.
Arnica linaments and oils are indicated in red/purple bruising and inflammation due to sprains, strains, and traumatic injuries and are NOT indicated in open wounds. However, St. John's Wort, also in the Herbal Roots First Aid Kit can be used on open wounds/bruises.The homeopathic form of Arnica can be used internally for the same indications listed above and two companies I am familiar with are Boiron and Hylands homeopathic remedies, which can be purchased at your local, natural grocery store.

                                                         
 

Arnica Flower Essence
Arnica Flower Essence is specific for reconnecting all aspects of self: physical,spiritual,emotional or mental during shock or trauma, past or present situations. Helping stabilize the emotions, Arnica can be used on a short term basis,or intuitively,when recovering from traumatic/stressful experiences and memories. Arnica is sure to help in a wide range of situations indicated from sprained ankles to pre-and-post surgery,emergency situations,or relational issues. Arnica Flower Essence can be used in your pet's water bowl easing the tensions in a re-location or traumatic experience. Your house plants can even benefit with a few drops of Arnica in the plant water before or after returning from a vacation or if they just seem a little droopy.
