Herbs have been shown to have many healing properties.
Here are some of the benefits of the herbs I use in my products:
Chamomile, in addition to its legendary
calming properties, is also a potent anti-fungal.
Eucalyptus and peppermint
are great for
relieving congestion.
Lavender is the classic relaxing herbal scent. Great for
soothing children (or parents!) at the end of a long day.
Lemon Balm has been shown to heal and prevent
cold sores.
Lemongrass, besides smelling wonderful, is reported to repel
mosquitoes and other biting insects.
Peppermint is known to relieve headaches, ease congestion, and
soothe an upset stomach.
Plantain relieves skin irritation from bug bites and bee
stings. Even if you don’t have a bug bite, it’s also just all-around great for
your skin!
Rosemary’s invigorating scent makes you more alert and
improves attention.
Sage helps control acne. When combined with coconut oil,
it can clear the complexion without drying out delicate skin.
Rose geranium has been shown to repel ticks.
Tea tree is the classic antimicrobial essential oil.
