What is Weleda Arnica Massage Balm?
Weleda Arnica Massage Balm is a traditional herbal medicinal product designed to relieve various forms of muscle and joint aches and pains. It’s formulated with only natural ingredients, including extracts from organic Arnica flowers and Birch leaf, in a base of organic sunflower seed oil together with rosemary and lavender oil. It’s our No. 1 selling topical medicine – so a key product to place in the Pain Category, to meet increasing shopper demands for natural pain management solutions, and has just been repackaged to modernise the range, with vibrant new orange packaging for greater standout on shelf.
What are the benefits?
The balm is indicated for symptomatic relief of muscle ache, backache, joint pain and stiffness, bruising and minor sporting injuries including cramps and sprains. The golden liquid is pleasingly aromatic due to the rosemary and lavender, providing a truly holistic benefit.
How does it work?
It harnesses the powerful plant actives of the alpine plant Arnica, traditionally prized for its natural anti-inflammatory properties, reducing swelling, to help relieve pain in muscles and joints as a natural analgesic and to improve circulation by stimulating blood flow to the affected area (to ease bruising, sprains, soreness). Arnica Massage Balm can be used in conjunction with Weleda Arnica 30C Tablets for a dual ‘inside & out’ approach. It can also be used alongside conventional pain medicines.
What is the recommended dosage?
The balm is designed to be massaged into to the skin, which promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces tension and aids absorption of the active ingredient. Simply apply sparingly to the affected area with gentle massage three to four times a day, ideally after a warm bath or shower while the skin is still warm and damp. It’s suitable for adults, the elderly and children over 12 years old.
