1. Arnica

   Arnica is a genus of perennial, herbaceous plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The genus name Arnica may be derived from the Greek arni, "lamb", in reference to the plants' soft, hairy leaves. Arnica is also known by the names mountain tobacco and confusingly, leopard's bane and wolfsbane—two names that it shares with the entirely unrelated genus Aconitum. This circumboreal and montane (subalpine) genus occurs mostly in the temperate regions of western North America, with a few species native to the Arctic regions of northern Eurasia and North America.Arnica species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including Bucculatrix arnicella. Arnica was previously classified in the tribe Senecioneae because it has a flower or pappus of fine bristles.

1. arnica

   Arnica refers to a genus of perennial, herbaceous plants in the sunflower family, known for their yellow-orange flowers. The Arnica Montana species is known for its medicinal properties and is often used in homeopathic treatments and remedies, primarily for its anti-inflammatory and pain relief benefits. It is native to Europe and North America and typically grows in mountainous regions. The plants are toxic if consumed in large quantities but are safe for external application in lotions, creams, and gels.

1. Arnica

   Arnica is a genus with about 30 perennial, herbaceous species, belonging to the sunflower family. The genus name Arnica may be derived from the Greek arna, "lamb," in reference to the soft, hairy leaves. This circumboreal and montane genus occurs mostly in the temperate regions of western North America, while two are native to Eurasia. Arnica used to be included in the tribe Senecioneae because it has a flower or pappus of fine bristles. This was soon questioned and Nordenstam placed it tentatively in tribe Heliantheae s.l. This arrangement also became uncertain because of the sesquiterpene lactone chemistry in certain species. Lately Arnica was placed in an unresolved clade together with Madiinae, Eupatorieae, Heliantheae s.s. and Pectidinae. Several species, such as Arnica montana and Arnica chamissonis, contain helenalin, a sesquiterpene lactone that is a major ingredient in anti-inflammatory preparations. Arnica species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bucculatrix arnicella. Arnica is also known by the names Mountain Tobacco and, somewhat confusingly, Leopard's bane and Wolfsbane—two names that it shares with the entirely separate genus Aconitum.

1. Arnica

   A plant genus of the family ASTERACEAE. The dried flower heads of Arnica montana are used externally as a counterirritant and tincture for sprains and bruises, either as crude extract or in homeopathic dilution (HOMEOPATHY). Arnica contains volatile oils (OILS, VOLATILE), arnicin, arnisterol, FLAVONOIDS; TANNINS; and resin. The common name of Wolf's Bane is similar to the common name for ACONITUM.
