Weleda Arnica Bumps and Bruises Skin Salve 25g

The formulation harnesses the power of Arnica through a tincture prepared from the fresh whole plant, expertly extracted using ethanol to capture the full spectrum of its beneficial properties. Each gram of ointment contains 0.10ml of this concentrated tincture, equivalent to 48mg of fresh Arnica whole plant. This active ingredient is blended into a rich, nourishing base comprising wool fat (lanolin), sunflower oil, olive oil, yellow beeswax and wool alcohols, creating a soothing salve that glides easily onto the skin while delivering the plant’s traditional benefits. The combination of emollient oils and waxes helps to soften and protect the skin as the Arnica extract works to address underlying discomfort and swelling.

For optimal results, the salve should be applied sparingly to the affected area with gentle massage three to four times daily. In the case of contusions (injuries where bruising may develop), applying a small amount immediately at the site of injury can help prevent the development of bruising, making it a valuable first-response remedy. Adults, the elderly and children can all benefit from its use, though it is intended for short-term application only. The salve is suitable for vegetarians and offers a practical, portable solution for managing the aches, bumps and bruises that can arise from sport, physical work, or everyday mishaps.

Clear guidance ensures the safe and appropriate use of this traditional remedy. The product is for external use only, and hands should be washed before and after application. It should not be used by individuals with known allergies to Arnica montana, other plants in the Asteraceae (Compositae) family, or any of the other ingredients. The salve must not be applied to broken or irritated skin, and contact with the eyes and mucous membranes should be avoided. It is not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. When used as directed, Weleda Arnica Bumps and Bruises Skin Salve provides a pure, traditional and effective botanical ally for those moments when the body needs a little extra care, helping to soothe discomfort and support natural recovery with the gentle power of Arnica.
