Chi Arnica macerate 10% organic
Arnica macerate
Arnica is a very old medicinal plant with a long history in Germany and Austria. It grows on mountain slopes in Europe and Western Asia. The golden-yellow flowers resemble small sunflowers and are gathered in June and July to be processed into a macerate.
Skin care & massage
Arnica macerate is used in skincare for various skin problems. It's also a great aid for stretch marks (including those caused by pregnancy). Arnica macerate is ideal for use as a massage oil for tired muscles, for example, after exercise. Thanks to its warming properties, arnica is also a wonderful aid for supple joints, for chilblains, or simply as a warming massage oil in winter. For a warming winter massage oil or a muscle oil, it's best to mix the macerate with another plant oil such as jojoba, almond, or apricot kernel. For every 100 ml of plant oil, you can optionally add 10-15 drops of essential oil.
What is a macerate?
A macerate is an oil product made from a fixed plant oil (usually olive oil) containing active ingredients from flowers or other plant material that has been soaked in the fixed plant oil. The name macerate comes from the Latin word "macerare," which literally means "to soak." Maceration is the traditional way of applying essential oils and other active ingredients from a plant to the skin. To make the macerate, the plant parts are soaked for a month or longer in a good quality olive oil. It is then strained, and the macerate is ready.
This macerate is a solution of 10% arnica in olive oil.
Did you know:
The best time to make a macerate is in the summer. In June and July, the flowers are gathered, dried, and processed into tinctures and macerates. This process can take several months.
The large, golden-yellow arnica flowers can reach 30–60 centimeters. The flowers grow individually on hairy stems, giving them a resemblance to small sunflowers.
Arnica is the ancient Greek name for the plant. The name may be derived from 'arnakis,' meaning 'lamb's fleece,' because of its soft leaves.
Did you know that hundreds of millions of people in Africa, Asia and South America use only effective, local plant oils for their daily skin care?
