- Abstract
The mountain arnica ethimology originates from the Greek word ptarnzica (Ia Discorides), which became from the verb ptario = to sneeze, because the roots and the stems of the plant produce sneeze. As vegetal product flowers from mountain arnica are used (Arnicae flos). In mountain arnica there are found: flavonoids, di- and triterpenes, helenalin, dihydrohelenalin. The pharmaceutical preparates based on mountan arnica flowers have action: antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic, fungicide, choleretic, cholagog, anti-sclerotic. In Arnica Montana L. seeds from Germany and from Ghe~ari, the germinative faculty records the biggest values one year and four months after harvesting, and after two years and four months there is a sharp decrease of values. Among four variants of soil mixtures taken into study, the best were variant V3 (50% terra rosa, 25% peat, 25% sand) and variant V4 (germinative pills) on which the best Arnica Montana L. rising. According to our research, the following results were obtained: for the sample harvested from Poiana Horii area, a content of 0.039 g% flavonoids was recorded and for those harvested from Scăraşoara cave a content of 0.4949 g% flavonoids.
