Arnica Salve for Sore Muscles, Tension Headaches, Bumps and Bruises

June 24, 2022 by Anya Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for natural non toxic pain relief from sore muscles, tension headaches, or bumps and bruises, arnica salve is the answer. In fact, arnica has been used to soothe muscle aches, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds,  injuries, such as sprains and bruises.

Uses for Arnica Salve

 

Apple Cider Vinegar lowers blood sugar levels better than Metformin (a popular anti-diabetic medication). This is what I take daily - here 
  • Bumps and bruises – When arnica is applied to the skin immediately after a cut or wound is inflicted, its antibacterial properties prevent the capillaries present in the skin from bleeding further.
  • Sore muscles – This is the best salve to rub on sore shoulders and muscles.
  • Aches – Its natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties help to heal open wounds faster. Moreover, it works wonderfully to relieve from any kind of external ache or pain.
  • Tension headaches – Arnica is quite successful when used in the treatment of headaches and migraines due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Arnica Salve Recipe

Arnica can be used in tinctures, salves, vinegar tinctures, decoctions, etc. Here is a recipe for a salve I use:
