FSS Arnica Extract PF

Preserved with Leucidal Liquid

The word ‘arnica’ comes from the Greek ‘arnakis’ meaning ‘lamb’s coat’ and refers to the felt-like sepals covered in soft hairs that surround the flower. Arnica montana also known as Leopard’s Bane, Wolf’s Bane and Mountain Tobacco is an herbaceous perennial that grows from mountains to alpine meadows and pastures and in light forests up to the alpine level. A native plant on the European continent and in Siberia, Arnica has been used extensively in European folk medicine and is becoming rare largely due to increasingly intensive agriculture. Arnica grows 1 to 2 feet tall with green oval leaves and bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that appear from May to August.
