Arnica

Arnica is nature’s go-to remedy for soothing bruises, swelling, and muscle pain. In TCM, it’s used topically to invigorate the blood and relieve pain from injuries, while also encouraging faster recovery. This herb has a long history in folk medicine for treating physical trauma, making it a staple in first aid kits and herbal preparations alike. In Southern folk magic, Arnica is used for protection and healing, particularly for physical recovery after a difficult experience. It embodies the gentle strength needed for mending and resilience.
