Evergreen Apothecary
Arnica Salve for bruises, cuts, scrapes, pain, and inflammation
1. Bruises:
-
Reduced Appearance: Arnica is renowned for its ability to speed up the healing process of bruises by reducing discoloration and swelling. It's thought to work by preventing the spread of blood under the skin and by increasing local blood supply to aid in quicker reabsorption of blood.
-
Healing: Castor oil might help in healing bruises by increasing circulation to the area. The oil's ricinoleic acidcontent is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties that could speed up bruise healing.
-
Anti-inflammatory: Arnica has anti-inflammatory properties which can reduce swelling around minor cuts.
-
Pain Relief: It can also provide some pain relief, though it should only be used on unbroken skin due to potential irritation or allergic reactions on open wounds.
-
Antimicrobial: Castor oil has antimicrobial properties which can help prevent infection in minor cuts, although it's not a substitute for proper wound care.-Moisturization: Castor oil can keep the skin around a cut moisturized, aiding in the healing process by preventing the skin from becoming too dry or cracked.
-
Anti-inflammatory Action: Arnica contains sesquiterpene lactones, which are believed to be the main anti-inflammatory compounds. These can help reduce inflammation from various causes, including insect bites or minor injuries.
-
Ricinoleic acid in castor oil can penetrate the skin, reducing inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin E2production, which is involved in inflammatory responses.
-
Analgesic Effects: When applied topically, arnica can decrease pain by acting on the inflammatory pathways, making it a popular choice for muscle aches, sprains, or post-injury pain.
-
Pain Relief: The warming effect from castor oil packs (when applied with heat) can provide comfort and relief from muscle or joint pain. There's also anecdotal evidence suggesting that castor oil might help in reducing pain by improving local circulation
