ARNICA 6CH

This is the most well known homeopathic remedy and is used for injuries ranging from severe physical trauma to a slight bump. It helps with bruising, inflammation and pain. Arnica is suitable for both acute and severe injury, and can be taken as frequently as every 15 minutes.

CALENDULA TINCTURE

This magical ‘must-have’ herbal tincture can be used in a variety of applications from cleaning open wounds to soothing haemorrhoids. It can be diluted in water or mixed with a cream or balm.

ELDERBERRY TINCTURE

Although not a very well known remedy Elderberry is a highly effective choice for any viral infection. Use it for a common cold, flu or sinusitis. It boosts the immune system, acts as an antiviral and is very high in antioxidants.
