Remedies for Sprains and Strains

A mountain plant from Europe, Arnica has been used since the 1500s as a folk remedy for injuries. It was primarily used topically to treat bruises, sprains, and muscle soreness, earning it the name 'Leopard's Bane' or 'Mountain Tobacco.' Its use is almost exclusively external.

Known as 'knitbone' or 'boneset,' Comfrey has been used for over 2,000 years to heal broken bones, sprains, and wounds. Greek physicians used it to stop bleeding and treat bronchial problems. Its reputation as a powerful wound and bone healer is legendary in folk medicine.
