Dr. Hauschka Blackthorn Body OilSometimes I use this as the first contact with the skin because the ingredients are so soothing and healthy. Blackthorn body oil is made with extracts of blackthorn, birch leaf and St. John'swort in a base of organic sunflower seed oil. Dr. Hauschka says it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Blackthorn is a hearty rose, in the family of quince, almond, apple and pear. "If one day we understand the rhythms of nature, this will be natural science in its truest form." --Dr. Rudolf Hauschka I like this product also because the mission of the Dr. Hauschka company is to support the healing of humanity and the earth and they're not just talking. They've been at it for years! Dr. Rudolph Hauschka was born in 1891 and was inspired by Dr. Rudolf Steiner to create botanical remedies based on rhythmic exposures to elemental polarities and the homeopathic principle of potentization. He and Elizabeth Sigmund then developed a anthroposophically based holistic approach to skin care health. The ingredients are 100% natural and biodynamically and organically grown, or ethically wild-harvested for over 45 years. They only use natural botanical preservatives and never use anything from an organization involved in animal testing.

Arnica montana.Arnica is used for strains, sprains and bruises. It belongs to the sunflower family and is native to North America and Eurasia. It has been used medicinally for centuries.
"Arnica montana is more effective than placebo when used for the treatment of several conditions including post-traumatic and postoperative pain, edema, and ecchymosis. However, its dosages and preparations used have produced substantial differences in the clinical outcome. Cumulative evidence suggests that Arnica montana may represent a valid alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, at least when treating some specific conditions." Effectiveness and Safety of Arnica montana in Post-Surgical Setting, Pain and Inflammation https://journals.lww.com/americantherapeutics/Abstract/2016/01000/Effectiveness_and_Safety_of_Arnica_montana_in.21.aspx "Arnica montana has been used mainly postoperatively in cosmetic surgery to reduce bruising. Information on Arnica montanais hard to find in one source and, therefore, is the subject of this chapter. The author discusses the components of Arnica montana and therapeutic uses such as anti-inflammatory, blood coagulation, arthritis, postpartum bleeding, traumatic injuries, and cosmetic procedures."
