ARNICA.
leopard's bane.
Source.—Arnica Montana is a perennial herbaceous plant of
which the dried flowers and root Arn'icce Flores and Arnicee
Radix—are the medicinal portions, and is found in the mountains
of Northern Europe and the Northwestern portions of America.
Medical Properties and Action.—Arnica is nervine, stimulant,
and diaphoretic. In over-doses it is an acro-narcotic poison,
causing vomiting, purging, vertigo, tetanic twitching of the
muscles, and convulsions. Moderate doses, when long con-
tinued, are liable to cause a very troublesome eruption. Its
activity depends upon an alkaloid Arnicina., which is a bitter
and acrid extractive.
Therapeutic Uses.—Arnica is administered internally in typhus
and typhoid fevers, chronic dysentery, rheumatic gout, etc., etc.
Externally to bruises, sprains, lacerations, chilblains, etc., in the
form of tincture Tinctura Arnica. The antidote for poison by
arnica is common vinegar.
Dose.—Of the extract of arnica, gr. v to gr. x. Of the tinc-
ture of arnica (arnica root 5j, rectified spirit Oj), the dose is
lUx to r5ss.
Dental Uses.— In dental practice, the tincture of arnica is
applied to irritable pulps of teeth, in periodontitis to prevent sup-
puration, to wounds of the mucous membrane of the mouth,
combined with glycerine, to abraded surfaces caused by artificial
teeth, and with tannic acid or glycerine of tannin for ulcers of
the mouth.
