That’s not a secure site and it says they are closed for summer vacation so likely to be in the US.

Doh! Why didn’t I think of trying the Glasgow shop. This is what happens when you get into the habit of buying online or local!

Right if I can’t get it locally I’ll get the train into Glasgow and get some :+1:

I think they must have supply chain issues. I’ve noticed it’s harder to find things like this which is why I bought several. I also stocked up on their calendula cleanser which I really like. I don’t normally spend so much on such products but with Neal’s yard they are worth the extra money.

Yes they are pretty expensive, I’ve tried a few of their skin creams over the years, and their lip balms…but I’m looking forward to trying this out.

Where are they, Zuleika, is that an American site?
Their website kept freezing on me and it said it wasn’t secure.

Whoops . .

Sorry,. just seen Annie said much the same.

Just wondering if the plant Arnica comes from has not grown or even died off in the dreadful drought conditions this year, like many farmer’s crops have. It’s not been a good growing year for growing much.
The plant itself (Leopard’s Bane) has some toxic qualities, that is no doubt why they say do not put on open wounds and cuts. Even rabbits and Deer won’t touch it.

This is interesting from Wiki:

" Arnica montana, also known as wolf’s bane, leopard’s bane, mountain tobacco and mountain arnica,[3] is a moderately toxic European flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is noted for its large yellow flower head. The names “wolf’s bane” and “leopard’s bane” are also used for another plant, aconitum, which is extremely poisonous.

Arnica montana is used as an herbal medicine for analgesic and anti-inflammatory purposes, but there is insufficient high-quality clinical evidence for such effects, and it is toxic when taken internally or applied to injured skin.

I had a look at that earlier out of curiosity. Romania and Mexico came up. As NY use organically grown that narrows down the supply route. The salve also has sunflower seed oil which we (now) know may be sourced from Ukraine. There’s also lavender, ginger and rosemary oil in the mix. So I think the sunflower seed oil might be the limiting factor.

I think a lot of pain comes from muscle cramps around joints
