Massage Therapy with Arnica Oil and Hydrotherapy

Description

For athletes or persons who are suffering some direct physical discomfort as a result of overuse or trauma. The combination of hot/cold compresses and arnica accelerates the healing and recovery after injury or overuse. Through hot and cold compresses one can control the flow of blood and greatly influence healing by muting the inflammatory response while simultaneously bringing fresh oxygenated blood to the area. Arnica Montana is an herb that is used worldwide in the treatment of soft tissue injury, with particular focus on muscles. There is no plant that is more important to the healing of muscles than arnica. Commercially Arnica creams and gels are available. At Somafield we produce our own Arnica oil and tincture for in house treatments, which are more potent as they are not diluted by carriers.
