Herbal remedies

Some common ailments respond very well to the treatment with herbal remedies, but must not be seen as an replacing conventional medicine.

herbal remedies

Herewith some ailments, and the corresponding herbal remedies - as infusions - that may be helpful with the particular problem, but when in doubt, please consult your medical practitioner immediately.

We refer to any drink made by infusing botanic material (be that leaves, seeds, flowers, roots etc) as a "herbal tea".

To be totally correct you would break this down to

A tea is a tisane (infusion) made from the tea bush (Camellia sinensis) and any herbal infusion is then really a tisane or ptisan.

A herbal tea can be made from fresh or dried botanic material - be that leaves, flowers, seeds or roots and is made by pouring boiling water over the material and letting it steep for a few minutes.

The seeds and roots normally require the mixture to be boiled to release the ingredients. The "tea" infusion or tisane is then strained, sweetened with honey if so desired, and served.

A decoction normally involves mashing the botanical material first and then boiling it in water to extract the organic compounds and differ from tisanes or herbal teas in that they are normally boiled.

For more on how to prepare herbal teas and use of specific herbs.

Also note that this is just a small reference and that many more herbs could be used for ailments, and the list must not be seen as complete and exhaustive.

These remedies are proposed as herbal teas - decoctions - and are made as follows:

  • They are made by using 2.5 oz (60 g) of fresh herbs or 1.25 oz (30 g) of dried herbal material and simmering it in 18 fl oz (500 ml) of water for at least 20 minutes. Bark and root are very suitable types of material to use when making a decoction. The decoction must be used the same day it is made and excess should be discarded.

Please note

The SA Medical Council and the USA FDA have not evaluated any of these statements about products and health conditions, as listed on this page.

    • This face wash will properly clean your face and remove all impurities and environmental pollutants, without drying the skin. It contains eight herbal extracts to help promote a clear, vital and healthy complexion and a younger looking skin.
  • Moisturizing day cream
    • This day cream is formulated to help fight the signs of aging on various fronts. It helps to reduce free radical damage which, if left unchecked, leads to premature aging. The herbal extracts help to promote cell rejuvenation and regeneration and provide moisture and hydration to the skin.
  • Nourishing night cream
    • This nourishing night cream penetrates the skin extremely well and does not make the skin feel oily. It contains a host of herbal extracts to help in the fight against premature aging and has added vitamin E as well. Apart from the moisturizing effect and the anti-aging properties it also softens and smoothes the skin.
  • Eye gel
    • An effective refreshing eye gel to help reduce puffiness and dark rings around the eyes, while fighting wrinkles and lines. This is a very clever combination of herbal extracts and the base formula has its roots in a clinically proven formula.
  • Mud face mask
    • With this skin treatment product we combined a special selection of herbs in a base of thermal mud with oligoelements. This recommended weekly treatment will boost circulation to the skin, help to fight wrinkles and lines, improve firmness while at the same time improving suppleness and elasticity of the skin.

 

Hair care

  • Shampoo with rosemary extract + 7 other herbals
    • Our shampoo is in a class of its own – and granted – it is far more expensive than cheap supermarket shampoos, but no other shampoo has the active ingredients we have in our shampoo. The rosemary will boost the health of the hair and scalp, while the other seven herbal extracts will help strengthen the hair and make it shine, increase the volume and make it manageable.
  • Rosemary hair treatment conditioner
    • We have found that this hair conditioner should really be used as a conditioning treatment. This then removes the need to condition the hair every time you wash – and can be used once a month. It is a superb hair tonic and helps in the control of sebum secretion of the scalp. Although not formulated for dandruff – the ingredients will assist with this as well, while supporting the health of the scalp.

 

Specialized herbal gels and lotions

  • Hand and body lotion
    • When formulating this hand and body lotion we created a rich nourishing, protecting and reviving lotion, which will not leave the skin oily or tacky, but will create a well moisturized, hydrated and supple skin. After applying this lotion it will quickly be absorbed by the skin, leaving it silky soft, smooth and well moisturized.
  • Stretch mark gel
    • Although nothing can remove already formed stretch marks (only surgery can do that) – thousands of satisfied clients confirm that this gel improves the appearance of old stretch marks. The gel will help in PREVENTING stretch marks (a 92% success rate) and is used with great success by expectant mothers and body builders who may form marks when bulking-up. The formula of this gel is based on clinical studies done in France, to which we added other herbal extracts.

 

Herbal supplements

 

Other products

    • This liquid golden ester not only moisturizes and penetrates the skin but also helps to fight wrinkles and lines while promoting a clear and unblemished skin. Jojoba does not clog the pores but helps to restore skin elasticity and smoothness. It will leave the skin supple and velvety soft without any oiliness and can be used neat on the skin.
  • Almond oil
    • This light and deeply moisturizing oil has a softening effect on the skin and can be used on the face and body. Almond oil has excellent emollient properties and helps to balance water and moisture loss in the skin. It can be used neat on the skin and also makes an excellent massage base.
