People and Plants: Snuff out inflammation with some mountain snuff

Arnica, known as wolf’s bane and mountain daisy, is a popular homeopathic remedy for injuries like sprains and bruises. It’s toxic if ingested but safe for topical use, containing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Homeopathy, based on 'like cures like,' is not evidence-based but regulated by the FDA. Arnica is also used for osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel, and hair growth.
