Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical
A popular first-aid remedy for trauma, injuries.
1 fl oz - Product Code: 57082
Arnica is the pre-eminent remedy for trauma, injuries, and
accidents and is a common part of first aid kits and home
medicine cabinets. This topical oil is massaged into painful
tissue that has been traumatized from an accident, athletic
event and overexertion. Massage Therapists and
Chiropractors commonly use arnica oil on muscle and joints
that are problematic in order to disburse congested fluids in a
painful area.
It is thought that Arnica works as a fluid transport stimulating
herb. It moves interstitual fluids through ischemic tissue.
Ischemic tissue is tissue that has diminished oxygen content
because of restricted blood and fluid flow. This action by
Arnica on the painful tissue helps it heal and stop the pain
cycle. As a result of the increased circulation, cellular waste is
removed, bruises clear up, pain diminishes, tissue heals,
tissue oxygenates and recovery time is significantly reduced.
Athletes find arnica reduces potential for injury, reduces
recovery time from injury and bruising.
Arnica Topical Oil is great for the daily bumps and bruises
inevitable in life and especially childhood. It is safe for kids.
Ingredients:
Phyto-Tech™ Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical contains the following:
Arnica montana Flowers (Wild Harvested), Sage Essential Oil,
Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil,
Note: First extracted in alcohol and oil to maximize potency,
then the alcohol is removed.
Special Note:
Most Arnica on the market is “Mexican”
Arnica. This is commonly Heterothica inuloides, an
adulterant and is not true Arnica. The Vitality Works Arnica
products are made from the true European Arnica montana.
Cautions: Do not apply to open wounds, ulcerations or on
areas prone to bleeding; Do not take internally; Discontinue
use if very sensitive skin results in a rash.
Complimentary Formulas and Single Herbs:
• Phyto-Tech™ MuscleGesic, an oral formula for muscle and
general body pain, inflammation
• Phyto-Tech™ Comfrey Root 1:3 (to promote healing of
breaks, fractures, sprains, cuts, lesions)
• Phyto-Tech™ Valerian Root 1:2 (for severe pain)
• Phyto-Tech™ St. John’s Wort 1:2 (if nerves are very sensitive
or painful)
Dosage:
Massage into effected areas as needed. Repeat 2-3 times per
day or as needed.
Arnica works best if applied in full concentration to the
problematic area. It is less effective if applied all over the
body as massage oil. Use a different oil for a massage (i.e.
almond oil) and arnica on the painful area.
Ashwagandha Root
Known as “Ayurvedic Ginseng,” Ashwagandha
supports stamina, endurance, and energy. Fresh

Red Clover and Probiotics.
T
he red clover plant contains isoflavones
that have estrogenic effects on the body.
Earlier studies found red clover may be
beneficial in menopause heart and bone
health concerns, but research on hot flushes
has been inconsistent.
In this study, 59 peri-menopausal women,
aged 40 to 65, who reported having five or
more hot flushes per day, took a placebo or a
liquid red clover extract containing 34 mg of
isoflavones plus a lactic acid probiotic, per
day.
After 12 weeks, while the placebo group
had not improved, for those taking red clover,
doctors measured over a 24-hour period a
significant drop in sweat gland activity on the
skin; a primary sign of hot flushes. The
women taking red clover also reported three
fewer hot flushes per day compared to nearly
no reduction for placebo.
Discussing the findings, doctors said that
moderate doses of red clover isoflavones with
probiotics can safely reduce the physical and
self-reported symptoms of menopause.

Fennel
F
ennel, the licorice-flavored herb, has
phytoestrogens that effectively treated
menopause symptoms in earlier studies. In
this study, 59 women within the first five years
of menopause took 100 mg of fennel twice
per day or a placebo.
After eight weeks, while the placebo group
had not improved, women taking fennel saw
menopause symptom scores cut in half, from
20 to 9.35, on the Menopause Rating Scale
(MRS). The MRS considers symptoms
including anxiety, depression, fatigue and
irritability, as well as sweating, hot flashes,
heart complaints, sleep disorders, and joint,
muscle, urinary, and sexual symptoms. An
MRS score of 44 means the most severe
symptoms, and a score of zero is no
symptoms
