With the warmer weather comes the urge to enjoy the outdoors more – which also leads to more bumps and bruises, not to mention sore muscles. Treat them with Nelson’s Arnicare, which contains natural Arnica Montana.
With warmer days and longer evenings ahead, this is the perfect opportunity to get some fresh air and be more active – and many of us are looking forward to doing more of our favorite sports. But whether you enjoy running, cycling, even playing soccer or climbing, or prefer more relaxing activities like long walks in nature, this increased level of activity comes with some risks. For example, there are around 50,000 sprained ankles every day in the UK. And even seemingly harmless knocks, bumps and minor falls can leave us with painful and unsightly bruises – far from ideal when we’re showing off our legs in our favorite summer dress!
But why do we get bruises? And is there anything we can do to prevent or cure them? Simply put, a bruise results from any impact that damages the capillaries, those tiny blood vessels just beneath the surface of the skin. Blood then seeps from the capillaries into the surrounding tissue – hence the purple discoloration. Applying a cold compress reduces blood flow to the affected area, which can help reduce the size of bruises. You can also benefit from the calming effects of arnica, the main ingredient in Nelson’s Arnicare Arnica Cream and Cooling Gel.
The natural power of arnica
Arnica montana is a fragrant plant known for its large yellow flowers. Harvested from the mountain peaks and swamps of Europe and North America, it has a long history of use and is one of the most well-known homeopathic and herbal remedies. In fact, Arnica Montana has been known for its beneficial natural properties since the 16th century.
Nelson’s Arnicare Arnica Cream contains Arnica montana and is a traditional herbal medicine for the symptomatic relief of bruising based solely on long-term use as a traditional remedy. It’s an ideal first aid product to keep on hand in case you have bumps and bruises this summer. But don’t just take our word for it – 90% of Arnicare users said it helps reduce swelling and pain from bruising*. Nelson’s Arnicare Arnica Cream is suitable for everyone – adults, the elderly and children – and is available in 30g and 50g tubes. Always read the label.
Soothe tired muscles
Another side effect of increased physical exertion – especially when you start training again after a long period of inactivity – is tired, heavy and sore muscles. Maybe you’re pushing your body to the limit while training for a 10K or even a marathon? Maybe you just enjoy playing tennis in the sun or getting some physical activity with a game of soccer. Whatever you do, everything takes its toll on the body. And this is where Nelson’s Arnicare Arnica Cooling Gel could help.
Perfect for massaging into your muscles after physical exertion, Nelson’s Arnicare Arnica Cooling Gel combines Arnica Montana with the zesty feel of natural grapefruit oil and menthol to soothe and refresh. Put it in your gym bag to use after a workout or keep it at home to replenish tired legs after being on your feet all day. Simply apply generously and massage in to refresh and revitalize fatigue and aches. Suitable for the whole family, ideal for athletes, non-sticky or greasy and contains no artificial colors or fragrances.
