Avocado oil has been shown to increase collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, while penetrating the skin's barrier to help retain it's natural moisture.
Avocado oil is derived from the fruit, not from the seed, making this oil abundant in micro and macro nutrients.
arnica
This beautiful flower has been used medicinally since the 1500's, although Saint Hildegard of Bingen (a visionary mystic and nun born in 1098) did mention the use of arnica in her writings.
Arnica may be one of the best herbs for external ailments such as localized pain, inflammation, to even bruises and sprains. Studies show that arnica has immunostimulant properties that stimulate phagocytosis, thus,
arnica may be beneficial to regain tissue homeostasis.
Bioactive Arnica is not safe to ingest internally.
