Botany: Arnica Montana is a hardy perennial plant, valued for its resilience and natural beauty. Its leaves, a deep, velvety green, spread out in a basal rosette, while its erect stems can reach up to 60 cm in height, bearing bright yellow flowers resembling small daisies. Flowering takes place between June and August, during which the flowers unfurl in solitary flower heads at the top of the stems, attracting pollinators and admirers. The fruits, achenes equipped with a feathery tuft, ensure the dispersal of the seeds by the wind from the end of summer.

The benefits of Arnica Montana for humans are multiple and well documented, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is widely used in ointments and gels to relieve bruises, muscle and joint pain. In homeopathy, Arnica helps treat shock, trauma and muscle fatigue. For animals, especially horses, Arnica is useful in topical preparations to soothe sore muscles and speed recovery after strenuous exercise. However, its use must be guided by veterinary knowledge to avoid any risks linked to its potential toxicity when ingested.
