Arnica latifolia (Arnica montana, Arnica Extract)
Arnica latifolia is a botanical
that is a wonderful soothing application for wounds and bruises,
aiding the body's natural abilities to provide temporary relief
from joint pain, and of sensitive skin (when skin is not broken)
as well. Especially when applied topically, arnica preparations
have antiphlogistic activity.
In cases of inflammation, arnica preparations also show analgesic
and antiseptic activity. For external use in injury and for
consequences of accidents, e.g. hematoma, dislocations, contusions,
oedema due to fracture, rheumatic muscle and joint problems.
Also shown effective with inflammation of the oral and throat
region, furunculosis, inflammation caused by insect bites, phlebitis.
Prolonged treatment with large amounts of arnica to damaged
skin, e.g., use for injuries or ulcus cruris (indolent leg ulcers),
can cause edematous dermatitis with the formation of pustules.
Improper use can also give rise to eczema. In treatment involving
higher concentrations of the herb, primary toxic skin reactions
with formation of vesicles or even necroses may occur. It is
also thought useful for the hair, claimed by some to actually
induce growth (unproven), and historically thought to promote
the beard in young men!
It is suggested for use on pimples and blemishes, as it is thought
to be a natural cleanser, and when applied topically, it is
generally a good balm for the skin. Active substances include
astragalan, chorogenic acid, cymarin, essential oils, ester
derivates of helenalin, ferulic acid, ispquercitin, thymol and
others.
Also used as a Homeopathic medicine (botanical) (Homeopathic
potencies accredit their strength and efficacy to the electromagnetic
signatures of the original substrate; these are scientifically
created dilutions and succussions of medicines such that generally
not even a molecule of the original substrate or medicine is
present in the medicine). As a Homeopathic or used simply as
a micro-nutritional, it has demonstrated effectiveness against
the following symptomology: "Is our great vulnerary and it is
a well-established one in Homeopathy. It suits injuries to soft
parts such as accompany fractures, dislocations, bruises, ecchymoses...Dr.
Grauvogle recommended doses before and after every operation
whether in the domain of surgery, ophthalmology or obstetrics.
Indeed its value in obstetrical practice is hardly to be estimated:
if given before and after delivery it will almost infallibly
prevent puerperal fever.
It has great power of delaying and preventing suppuration and
it is of special use after operations around the eyes, particularly
after cataract operations. It prevents extension and mortification
of carbuncle. It is of use in injuries of long standing. It
prevents pyemia.
In concussion of the brain or spinal cord, in wrenches of the
muscles and hemorrhages from injuries it is our most useful
remedy. It should also be given after fractures where the limbs
start (ie, twitch or jump) continually, as it corresponds to
the sensitiveness..." -"It is a remedy to prevent threatened
apoplexy (CVA; 'stroke') ...apoplexy due to external violence
calls for Arnica: it should be administered after acute symptoms
have subsided to promote absorption of the clot...Dr. William
Butler believes that we have in Arnica a sheet anchor for dissolving
blood clots-in our own hands it has worked most favorably in
a number of cases." (Dewey).As a Homeopathic or used simply
as a micro-nutritional, it has also demonstrated effectiveness
against the following digestive symptomology: atony of the stomach,
painful contractions, fullness after eating (Dewey) -pain in
stomach during eating; repletion with loathing; -oppressive
gases pass upward and downward; -pressure in stomach as from
a stone; -feeling as if stomach were pressing against spine
(Boericke); apoplexy (stroke) with red, full face; -thrombosis;
-chronic vertigo, objects whirl about especially when walking;
-angina pectoris; stitches in heart; fatty heart and hypertrophy;
-heat and redness of head with coolness of rest of body; internal
heat, feet and hands cold (Boericke); "Often, attacks of apoplexy
can be prevented by restoring the circulation to its equilibrium
by means of such remedies as... Arnica... (Dewey).
