Arnica and Sore Muscles: A Quick Word
Arnica has been used widely since the 1500’s to heal sore muscles, bruises and cuts. As with most true medicine, it is toxic in large amounts but when used topically, can improve conditions drastically within a matter of hours or days. The flower is also used after wisdom teeth removal and for insect bites.
Riverdance is now providing massage bars with Arnica oil in them, see our store for ordering as well as info about our coconut and cucumber-mint massage bars.
For more information about Arnica specifically, see this empirically based article by: WebMD.

I started handcrafting my own artisan soap while living a “back to basics” lifestyle on a farm at the base of Washington state’s majestic Mount Rainier. That was 30 years ago. Now a few soaps in the farmhouse kitchen have grown into all kinds of naturally powered bath and beauty products and my one-person operation has grown into a passionate, committed team of creators. I'm grateful for the opportunity to pursue a passionate craft and dedicate myself to using this position to help grow my community and nature.
