Arnica

Arnica is a plant that belongs to the aster family and is mainly found in mountainous areas of Europe and North America. The flowers of Arnica montana are often dried and used for various purposes. Traditionally, arnica is primarily applied in the form of ointments and tinctures, which can be applied to the skin to relieve discomfort.

In animals, such as dogs, chickens, and horses, arnica is sometimes used to support the skin in cases of sprains, bruises, or muscle pain. It can help promote recovery after an injury or surgery. For example, in horses, arnica is often used as part of a grooming routine, especially after intensive training.

Although arnica is considered a natural remedy, it is important to be cautious with the dosage and application, as some forms of arnica can be toxic if ingested. Always consult a veterinarian before giving arnica or any other supplement to your pet.
