Arnica Allay (Arnica Alleve)

Many of the flowers for the Flower Essences Services Repertory are grown in a wildflower preserve and garden sanctuary. Located on 27 tree-studded acres in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, this sanctuary is called Terra Flora. The gardens at Terra Flora received official Biodynamic certification in 1997, a classification that actually predates "organic" by several decades. While it encompasses many of the principles of organic farming, Biodynamic agriculture fosters the idea that each farm or garden is in turn connected to the Earth as a living being, and the cosmic rhythms of Moon, Sun, planets and stars that support the Earth’s true identity. The flower essences of this line reflect this harmony.

Fresh blossoms of Arnica are sun infused into pure olive, safflower, and/or sunflower oils, with vitamin E oil. Various essential oils are added for their stabilizing and de-stressing qualtities, including Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Rose, Palmarosa, cistus and Helichrysum. The essences of Alpine Aster, Arnica, Chrysanthemum , Indian Pink, and Star of Bethlehem are further potentized into this formula to privide strengthening, spiritualizing and centering soul qualities during times of challenge and trauma.
