Dr. Nick Notes
Arnica montana is a flower commonly known as leopard's bane root ~ this flower is high in Sesquiterpene lactones, triterpenediol esters known to reduce inflammation and support recovery in injury. Traditionally used in rheumatism, inflamed joints & muscles, this Organic CO2 Extract of Arnica (standardized to 4% Sesquiterpene lactones) is top-shelf for therapeutic botanical ingredients. This Organic Arnica Oil we offer is truly categorized as a concentrated CO2 Extract of Arnica or Arnica CO2 Extract. We further take the Organic Arnica CO2 Extract and infuse into Fractionated Coconut Oil to produce an Arnica Oil or Arnica Infusion Oil as we care to call it!
Very popular homeopathic formulation called Heel (by Boiron) contains a succussion (shaking/dilution process) of diluted Arnica montana, amongst other anti-inflammatory plants. Heel is a licensed Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug which has even been accepted into the Olympics to help athlete’s recover pre/post injury. This is quite broad mainstream acceptance for such a robust, beautiful flower! Arnica montana has been historically infused into olive oil over weeks to produce a recovery product for Mediterranean families to speed healing of bruising, aches & pains.
The pure CO2 Extracted Arnica Oil is a gelly-like consistency that stains the clothing and is quite difficult to apply. We’ve taken the liberty to infuse our CO2 Arnica Extract into Fractionated Coconut Oil enhanced with monoatomic minerals extracted from Dead Sea Salt / Celtic Sea Salt over a 1-3 month period. The result is an easy to apply, extremely effective and cost economical Arnica Oil product for your application. Great to support aches, pains, inflammation, increased circulation and reduce bruising well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arnica CO2 extract is produced from the flowers of Arnica montana using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, which captures the plants active compounds -- particularly sesquiterpene lactones like helenalin -- in concentrated form. Unlike steam-distilled arnica, which barely exists as arnica does not yield oil through distillation, the CO2 extract captures the true therapeutic compounds that make arnica so valued in natural medicine. Its used topically in diluted massage oils, salves, creams, and sports recovery blends for its well-documented ability to ease bruising, muscle soreness, and inflammation.
Arnica has been used in European folk medicine for centuries and is one of the most clinically studied botanical topical agents. Research has shown it can help reduce bruising, swelling, and pain after minor injuries and intense physical activity. Athletes commonly use arnica-based preparations for post-workout muscle soreness, bruises, and joint stiffness. The active compounds work by modulating the inflammatory response in the skin and underlying tissues, making it particularly effective for blunt trauma and muscle overexertion.
No -- arnica CO2 extract should always be diluted before applying to the skin. It is a concentrated extract, and the active compounds that make it therapeutic can also cause contact dermatitis or sensitization if applied undiluted. A standard approach is to blend a small percentage into a carrier oil like jojoba for a massage oil, or into a salve base. Typical usage rates in finished products range from 0.5 to 5%. Also important: arnica should never be applied to open wounds or broken skin. Our CO2 extract is offered as an anointing oil already infused in a carrier oil of Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil at approximately 40% CO2 Arnica.
A simple arnica massage oil can be made by adding the CO2 extract to a carrier oil at a 1-3% concentration. For every ounce of carrier oil, add 6-18 drops of the CO2 extract. You can enhance the blend with complementary essential oils like German chamomile, helichrysum, and peppermint for added anti-inflammatory and cooling effects. This makes an excellent rub for sore muscles, bruises, and tired legs after exercise. Start on the lower end and adjust based on your needs.
Yes -- arnica CO2 and helichrysum, also known as immortelle, is one of the most effective natural combinations for bruising and skin trauma. This pairing is widely regarded among natural formulators as the go-to blend for accelerating recovery from bruises, bumps, and minor injuries. German chamomile, lavender, cistus and frankincense are also excellent companions that work synergistically with arnicas therapeutic properties. Together they create what natural skincare formulators often call a bruise blend -- a highly effective topical preparation that can dramatically speed recovery.
Verna M. (Essential Oil Wizardry) –
I have used arnica oil for years and wanted to try some from here as I am so pleased with all the other products.
William Albert (Essential Oil Wizardry) –
Very nice, exceptional quality product. The CO2 extraction is much superior & highly sought after for purity. The reason I give only four stars is because of the plastic bottle dispenser. Like putting discount tires on a fine automobile —a very poor analogy however at the moment it’s the best I can come up with. There is no way with this dispenser to accurately measure drops & it’s quite frustrating. The exceptional essential oil deserves more.
