Arnica (Arnica montana<\/strong>) is a bright yellow perennial herb, somewhat reminiscent of the daisy. It grows in Canada, the United States, East Asia and Europe (particularly in Italy, Arnica can be found in the Alps and the northern Apennines of Emilia-Romagna) and is the basis of one of the most widely used homoeopathic remedies in the world.<\/p>\n

Arnica-based ointments and salves are not only valuable for humans: they can also be extremely useful for dogs, cats, horses and pets in general.<\/p>\n

Arnica for pets, when to use it<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arnica (Arnica Montana) is a native flowering perennial herb that is part of the sunflower family and has remarkable pain-relieving properties.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its sesquiterpene lactone and elanine, arnica acts quickly to heal wounds, reducing both swelling and bruising<\/strong>. It increases blood circulation to and from the wound by dilating the surrounding lymphatic ducts and capillaries, draining fluid from the tissues. By increasing blood flow and drainage, the plant accelerates the healing process. Not only that, it also minimises pain from acute injuries such as sprains, contusions and strains.<\/p>\n

So, what is arnica for pets? Since it is very safe, it can be used as a first-response treatment for <\/strong>virtually any kind of trauma or injury<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
