Traditionally effective

Arlberger Arnica Rubbing Alcohol: Refreshing relief for muscles and legs

Heavy legs, tired muscles, or an unpleasant sensation of heat are common for many people during the warmer months. Especially after long days, lots of activity, or exercise, the body can really use some soothing relief.

This is where Arlberger Arnica Rubbing Alcohol comes in: a tried-and-true classic that becomes particularly popular again in the summer.

What is rubbing alcohol?

Arlberger Arnica Rubbing Alcohol is an alcohol-based liniment traditionally used for external application on muscles and joints. It typically contains alcohol as well as plant-based ingredients and essential oils that provide the characteristic cooling effect. Our Murmelin Franzbranntwein contains 65% alcohol by volume, along with mountain pine oil, menthol, and arnica extract, among other ingredients.

The use of diluted alcohol with various essential oils can be traced back to the 17th century—especially in France—hence the name “Franz”branntwein.

How does Arlberger Arnica Rubbing Alcohol work?

The ingredients—mountain pine oil, menthol, and arnica extract—promote blood circulation in the skin, thereby accelerating recovery from fatigue and after sports or physical exertion. Alcohol and menthol have a cooling effect that provides pleasant relief even for heavy legs and in hot weather.
