WELEDA Arnica Massage Oil

Product Information

Citronella is a powerful oil that is known for its insect-repelling properties and can help to create a peaceful environment. When it’s just for my own use, I’ll often make a simple arnica salve by mixing 8 ounces of arnica oil with 1 ounce of beeswax pistils in a double boiler. I then pour the resulting arnica salve into small salve tins for easy storage.

With its pleasant aroma and powerful effects, Tranquility Essential Oil Blend is a great choice for those who want to experience a sense of inner peace. In addition, the blend can be used to help promote restful sleep, reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, and improve cognitive performance. Blue Tansy is a powerful oil that can help to reduce feelings of fear, anxiety, and stress and can help to promote a sense of peace and relaxation. In January, I started a new exercise regime and was having sore muscles very often so I thought that Weleda Arnica Massage oil will come really handy after the workout as it’s supposed to help muscles recover faster. The Weleda massage oil comes in a 100ml bottle but since I use it almost every day, it’s probably not going to last for very long! I will no doubt be purchasing it in the future though. From anxiety to muscle soreness, massage can help ease some of the physical and emotional factors associated with a stressful life. Whether performed on yourself or a loved one, the act of giving a massage can help soothe aches while offering a valuable moment of calm.A study by the British Association of Dermatologists found that arnica oil had a significant impact on bruise healing, and it worked markedly better than placebo. They used a laser to create multiple small standardized bruises on volunteers and then rated the healing after 2 weeks. Bruises treated with arnica oil healed 20% better according to their dermatologist’s rating system, and just about as fast as common traditional (non-herbal) medicine bruise treatments. I couldn’t get the blossoms to dry fast enough, and they almost always turned into fluffy little seed heads well before they’d dried thoroughly. (I now have an Excaliber dehydrator, and I’m hoping to try it with our next arnica crop for better drying.)

Since arnica oil is only used topically, you’ll want to select an oil that fits well with your skincare and health goals. I often use olive oil for the most versatility, since it’s not likely to trigger any allergies. Sweet almond oil is a better choice, as it’s more nourishing for skin, but if you’re using it on clients in a massage practice there’s always the potential for nut allergies. Using an oil allows the hands to glide over the skin during the massage and give a more relaxing experience. Long strokes such as the effleurage technique (designed to warm up the body’s muscle tissues) and petrissage (a kneading movement) are more comfortable with an oil, as the hands won’t drag on well-lubricated skin.

Side-effects

Only use arnica oil in diluted form, as pure arnica is very potent. Use almond or grapeseed as a carrier oil to dilute pure arnica oil in a 30:70 ratio if oil is not already diluted.

Arnica oil is often used by people who are seeking relief from arthritic pain, chronic inflammation, hair loss, bruises, a weak immune system, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, headaches, poor circulation, nervous conditions, oxidative stress, and acne, as well as those recovering from illness or surgery. Skin Care The stimulating nature of this powerful oil can cause irregularities in a heartbeat and result in unusual palpitations in some people, especially those who already have heart issues. Don’t use this oil before speaking with your doctor about your specific health condition.Marzotto M, et al. Arnica montana Stimulates Extracellular Matrix Gene Expression in a Macrophage Cell Line Differentiated to Wound-Healing Phenotype Ylang Ylang is a sweet and floral oil that helps to soothe the mind and promote feelings of inner peace. I would say, if you are starting a new exercise regime or changing your fitness routine, this is a life saver. I cannot imagine being without Weleda Arnica Massage Oil now, so worth it! I think this oil would be great to use in combination with a quality CBD massage oil, just to encourage even faster recovery. Treliaoils Arnica Oil is another option, it is extracted with low heat from the flowers and leaves of arnica plants into cold-pressed certified organic olive oil.
