Wild As The Wind Carrier Oil Resources

Arnica Oil Traditional Uses

Arnica Oil has been traditionally used to soothe the impacts of injuries and sprains; such as discomfort, swelling, and bruises etc. It has also been used for swelling caused by chronic conditions like arthritis as well as chronic sports injuries. It has also been popular for acute problems, such as tired and aching muscles from over-exertion. Arnica Oil has also been used for insect bites. It has even been used on chapped lips and acne.

Arnica Oil Is A Macerated Oil

Macerated oils, are also called infusion oils or infused oils. These terms are used to describe carrier oils that have been used as a base oil to extract therapeutic properties from a single plant or group of plants. The carrier oils commonly used to make macerated oils are Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil and sometimes Almond (Sweet) Oil. Sunflower Oil is lighter than Olive Oil and is more neutral aromatically. As it has a lower comedogenic rating, and is more affordable than Organic Sweet Almond Oil, it is the ideal choice to make an effective macerated oil.

How To Use Arnica Oil

For external use only. Apply a few drops of Arnica Oil to your skin after you have sustained an injury. If the skin has been broken, cleanse the wound before application. Gently massage the oil into your skin until it has all been absorbed.

Blending With Arnica Oil

When Arnica Oil is combined with Calendula Oil at a ratio of 50:50 they make for a formidably beneficial force. Because Calendula Oil is excellent for soothing sore, chapped skin as well as open wounds, the two oils, when combined, may be helpful for skin eruptions, including eczema, acne and nappy rash. It may also be an ideal combination for dry skin conditions.

Trauma Oil

One of the first blends which aromatherapists learn how to make is Trauma Oil. This is a simple blend of three carrier oils, Arnica, Calendula and St. John’s Wort. These macerated oils should be blended together in equal quantity to make Trauma Oil, as follows. 1/3 Arnica 1/3 Calendula 1/3 St. John’s Wort Trauma Oil has many uses and is a great addition to your home first aid kit. It has traditionally been applied to the following physical traumas: wounds, breaks, sprains, bruises, fractures, dislocations, as well as injury sites after surgery. It has also traditionally been applied to rashes, insect bites and other itchy and painful skin conditions. It can also be used as a carrier oil base when blending essential oils.

Arnica Oil Application

Gently massage Arnica Oil into the affected area, allowing the warmth of your hand to assist the absorption of the oil into your skin. Always cleanse broken skin after injury before applying Arnica Oil.

If you have sensitive skin, or if you do a lot of sun bathing, there’s a very remote chance you may have a slight reaction to this Wild As The Wind oil. It is always advisable to perform a patch test on the soft skin on the inside of your forearm before using carrier oils on your face.

Perform A Patch Test

Place a drop or two of Wild As The Wind oil on your inner forearm, making sure to massage it well into your skin. A severe reaction will occur within ten minutes, but it may take 24 hours for milder intolerances to emerge.

Look for signs of Urticaria, (aka Hives), discolouration, redness, dryness, or feelings of irritation / itchiness. If you experience none of these, you will be safe to use your Wild As The Wind oil elsewhere on your body, including your face.

1 review for Arnica Oil

  1. Nicky

    Arnica, that glorious mountain dwelling herb with golden yellow, daisy-like flowers, holds and gifts such healing. The fact that Wild as the Wind’s Arnica Carrier Oil is blended in Sunflower Oil adds to the golden magic via the sunflower’s energy from her golden yellow flowers too. Arnica is one of the finest trauma healers i.e. when there has been a ‘body-blow’ as I call it, when there is deep bruising, sprains, strains, dislocations, aches and pains relieving discomfort and inflammation that also seems to have an effect beyond just the physical. Arnica’s sunny flowers can help lighten the day!
