Arnica contains active components that have a marked anti-inflammatory action. A pain-killing and anti-oedematous effect results from this action. Arnica stimulates the activity of white blood cells that disperse congested blood. It also releases fluid from bruised or traumatised areas, stimulating circulation and acting against bacterial infection. It inhibits the action of an enzyme that destroys inflamed tissue, thus having a tissue-protective action. Additional advice: For external use only. Avoid in known allergy to Arnica or the Asteraceae (daisy) family. Diabetics should never self treat for any condition of the leg or foot.
