How should I use Weleda Arnica Massage Oil?
Apply the oil to dry or slightly damp skin—ideally after a warm shower, when your pores are more open.
Here’s how to get the best from your massage:
- Pour a small amount into your hands
- Warm the oil between your palms
- Gently massage the skin using circular motions, focusing on areas of muscular tension
This oil can be used before exercise, to help warm up and prepare the muscles and after physical activity, to support muscle recovery, ease tightness and promote relaxation
Its softening, revitalising texture makes it ideal for soothing tired muscles and enhancing post-workout recovery.
Is Weleda Arnica Massage Oil suitable for children?
No, it’s not recommended for children under 7 years old, due to the presence of essential oils such as lavender and rosemary, which may be too stimulating for young, sensitive skin.
For babies and younger children, Weleda offers a Calendula-based massage oil, specially developed to respect delicate, sensitive skin.
For older children, always seek advice from a healthcare professional before applying any essential-oil-based product.
Are there any precautions or contraindications with Weleda Arnica Massage Oil?
Yes. Avoid use if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients—particularly arnica, sunflower oil, or olive oil.
Do not apply the oil to broken skin or open wounds, on mucous membranes (e.g. intimate areas or around the eyes)
If you notice any unusual skin reaction, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
