Lately we have been adding Arnica Oil to some of our CBD (like our Sports Balm) and Skin Care Products (especially our Healing Bliss + CBD) – and we wanted to let you know a bit more about this amazing product. Arnica oil is renowned for its various benefits for the skin, making it a popular choice in natural skincare. Here are some of the key benefits of arnica oil:
- Reduces Inflammation: Arnica oil has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce swelling and inflammation, making it useful for conditions like arthritis, bruises, and sprains.
- Eases Muscle Pain: Often used in massage therapy, arnica oil can alleviate muscle soreness and stiffness, providing relief from aches and pains.
- Heals Bruises and Wounds: Arnica oil promotes the healing of bruises, cuts, and abrasions by increasing blood flow and reducing the discoloration associated with bruises.
- Soothes Skin Irritations: It can calm and soothe irritated skin, making it beneficial for treating insect bites, rashes, and minor burns.
- Reduces Acne: Due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, arnica oil can help reduce acne breakouts and prevent future occurrences by fighting off bacteria.
- Moisturizes Skin: Arnica oil helps in keeping the skin hydrated and can improve the skin’s overall texture and appearance.
- Anti-Aging Benefits: Its antioxidant properties help combat free radicals, which can contribute to premature aging. Regular use can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Improves Skin Elasticity: By promoting better blood circulation, arnica oil can improve skin elasticity, giving the skin a more youthful and firm appearance.
While arnica oil offers these benefits, it’s important to use it properly. It is typically recommended for external use only and should be diluted with a carrier oil to avoid skin irritation (and our products act like a “carrier” making it skin safe. However, of you’re sensitive, we always perform a patch test before using it widely on the skin.
