If you live where there is the correct kind, it's still flowering, but time to hurry now- (you use the flowertops only, and it's found many places, as a weed.) You take the flowertops, boil them into a tea, keep the tea water (throw the 'spent' flower tops in the trash), and mix it with some pine oil all-purpose cleaner, and NEVER ingest this, either the Arnica flowers or the pine oil. It is for external use only. Put in some pure Aloe Vera Gel, because it is strong with the pine oil there, and it's also runny, so the Aloe makes it a little milder for application, and also a little less runny. Do not add anything that you wouldn't want 'sucked into' your skin, and if you want to really increase the effect, add DMSO after you put it on, never on soft tissue or open wounds. Make sure, with the DMSO, you aren't using cosmetics, deodorants, or anything synthetic in lotions, creams, etc. You can order arnica (applications)  online, but it's so much better to make your own. If you ever ingest the arnica flower tops, it's diluted many times over, and MUST be. It can be stronger in external applications. Hope this helps, and is what you are looking for. If you order seeds, get Arnica Montana, the best species to use this way. I haven't yet looked online at where or even if you can order these seeds, because you can do that as easily. Later!-- Cindy - P.S. You can also do this without the pine oil, if you wish. Arnica by itself is wonderful! Again, I can't stress enough that this is for external use only. If you are hesitant about the additives in pine oil cleaner, you can actually order pure pine oil online. Also, if you wish to thicken it up more, you can use petroleum jelly or other alternatives, which I have not used in mine.
