house extracted arnica
the use of arnica for bruising, inflammation, pains, sprains and other injuries dates back to 16th-century germany and is still a staple in muscle rub formulas today.
strong arnica extracts are hard to come by. we learned this pretty early in the development of the muscle rub and decided to run our extractions in-house to keep potency at consistently higher levels than what's available. we use a low heat oil infusion and press to extract.
if you find a little pant fiber in your muscle rub, it's from the arnica extract. arnica flowers have very few fibers that sneak through the filtering process.
pain, inflammation, muscle tension and soreness are guaranteed for an athlete who trains often. the muscle rub is made to help keep inflammation down and supports soft tissue repair. use before, during and after training as needed to support blood flow and mobility and calm pain and inflammation. we hand these samples out at pretty much every event. so if you have seen us at ironman, BWR, blaze trails, etc, you probably got a sample of this!
