I absolutely am in love with this body oil! I have arthritis and I use this after a bath or during and after. It smooths my muscles and joints all the while with the most beautiful spa fragrance!

How to use

The Ritual:

As a bath soak: Add a capful of Alpine Arnica Bath & Body Oil to a warm bath, then soak to relieve muscle aches and tension.

As a body moisturizer: Warm a capful of Alpine Arnica Bath & Body Oil in your palms, then massage onto your body using firm pressure with the palms of your hands. Then place your hands over your nose and mouth and breathe deeply to allow its aromatherapy benefits to relax the mind.

The Enhanced Ritual:

For a tension-relieving shoulder massage:

  1. Warm a generous amount of Alpine Arnica Bath & Body Oil in your hands and press it onto your neck and shoulders.  Raise your arms over your head, then place each hand on the same-side shoulder. Keep your thumbs over your clavicles, and your fingers over your shoulder blades.  Using firm pressure, massage your fingers into your shoulders to relieve stress and tension.
  2. Next, use your thumbs and fingers to press and pinch your shoulders and neck.  Move to the back of your neck, massaging your fingertips with circular movements, working your way up to the base of your skull.
  3. Finally, raise your heads up over your head and shake out your fingers, hands and arms before releasing them down to your sides.

For a forearm and hand massage: Warm a generous amount of Alpine Arnica Bath & Body Oil in your hands and massage into your hands and forearms. Using your thumb, trace the tendons along the wrist, moving from your hand all the way to your elbow. Using your thumb and forefinger, press and pinch along each finger and in between each finger, loosening tension and stiffness. Repeat those steps on the opposite hand.

Maximize Your Results:

Add a capful of Alpine Arnica Bath & Body Oil to a warm bath, and enjoy a long soak to soothe sore muscles and joints. After the bath, apply Alpine Arnica & Magnesium Gel to any areas of pain or tightness for cooling relief.

    Love this oil!

    I’ve just ordered a refill for this oil. We have used arnica for pain relief in the past and this seems to do the trick as well! I love the smell too.

    Love the scent but leaves a mess

    I love the smell of this product and how it makes my skin feel. I used it in the bath and unfortunately, it creates quite a mess to clean up. An oily residue is to be expected but it also leaves bluish-black dots that smear when you try to wipe them off. I then tried to just use after the bath and not put into the water. But then when I would bathe, the whole thing happened again. I love Naturopathica products but this oil isn't one I would use again.

    The oil is very luxurious but note the scent is more savory and might not appeal to people who are partial to florals. The scent isn’t overpowering and doesn’t linger on the skin. The price point is a deterrent - a lot of the cost must be a result of the beautiful (and very breakable) glass bottle; it’s why I wouldn’t purchase with any regularity.
