Description
Arnica
Arnica montana L.
Family Name: Asteraceaea.
Other Names: Arnica (French); Arnika, Bergwohlverleih (German); arnica (Italian); arnca (Spanish).
Description: A perennial herb with hairy leaves and large, deep yellow flower heads. A. chamissonis differs from A. montana in the more erect habit and smaller flower heads.
Origin: A. chamissonis is a North American species that has become an important commercial (cultivated) source, together with A. Jidgens and others. The well-known A. montana occurs naturally in central and northern Europe. Material from the wild has become limited.
Parts Used: Mainly flowerheads (Arnicae flos) or tinctures and volatile oil thereof, rarely roots or whole plant.
Therapeutic Category: Anti-inflammatory, counter-irritant, wound-healing.
Uses and Properties: Arnica is traditionally used to treat bruises, haematomas, sprains, burns (including sunburn), diaper rashes and as a counter-irritant to treat rheumatism. It should only be applied externally or used as mouth wash (when treating inflammation of the mucous membranes). Ingestion of the herb is no longer recommended.
Active Ingredients: The main active principles (0.2 - 0.5%) are helenalin and related sesquiterpene lactones, to which the bitterness of the herb is ascribed. Also present are flavones and flavonols, a volatile oil (with thymol, thymolmethylether and azulene), triterpenoids, phenolic acids and polysaccharides.
Pharmacological Effects: Sesquiterpene lactones, such as helenalin, can form covalent bonds with proteins and thus alter their properties. These and the other arnica compounds have mutagenic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Topically applied they show analgesic, antiseptic, hyperaemic and wound-healing effects.
Status: Pharm.; Comm. E+; ESCOP 4.
Preparation and Dosage: Extracts or tinctures are used as ointments and liniments, often applied as a compress. An infusion of 2 g of herb in 100 mL water.
Above its flat hairy leaves, its foot-high stems carry fine yellow daisies, rather like a distinguished Doronicum that has moved into summer. As its name suggests, Arnica montana is an upland, even alpine plant, a fact repeated in the alternative title of mountain tobacco.
The Shakers of New Lebanon (New York State) recommended it for external application to a number of wounds and they made a salve "by heating one ounce of flowers with one ounce of lard for a few hours". It is poisonous if taken internally and even the salve could cause skin irritation if used too freely. It is, however, a highly ornamental plant with a long flowering season. Arnica should be placed well towards the front of its bed as it resents crowding and shading from other things. Any soil which is well drained will suit.
Molecules found in Arnica have unique and potentially useful, anti-inflammatory properties. Arnica ointments may be useful for reducing the pain and swelling associated with sprains and bruises, but arnica should not be taken internally, as the risks outweigh the benefits.
