Arnica species are herbaceous perennial plants native to the mountains of the Alps, Pyrenees, Balkan Mountains, Scandinavia, the Baltic states, mountain areas of Canada and the northern Unites States. The species accepted for medicinal use is Arnica montana. The herbal substance consists of the dried flower heads of Arnica montana. The minimum content of sesquiterpene lactones according to the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.) is 0.4%. The most relevant constituents of Arnica montana are helenalin and plenolin and their derivatives. The content varies with respect to the geographical origin. More recent investigations led to the detection of methylated flavonoids and further sesquiterpene lactones. The natural variability of sesquiterpene lactones in the herbal substance is 0.3 to 1.0%. Other natural constituents of Arnica montana are flavonoids (0.4 to 0.6%), essential oil (0.2 to 0.35%) and mono- and sesquiterpenes.
