March’s Beauty Fave

Milk & Red Sandalwood Facial Mask

Just until the end of April! Receive 10% off JUARA Skincare when you enter APRIL10 at checkout. (click to purchase)

PURIFIES PORES AND CALMS SKIN!

Used for centuries in the Indonesian herbal tradition, red sandalwood is a remedy for calming and cooling skin stressed by environmental aggression or skin conditions. This unique softening mask combines the exceptional soothing properties of red sandalwood with the softening benefits of pure milk. Milk’s natural exfoliating power in the form of lactic acid works with the skin’s own mechanism to gently refine and soften skin texture.

Fragrance-free. Suitable for oily, combination, and sensitive skin.

*Note: This is one of the only two JUARA Products not yet paraben-free. The other is the Glow-on-the-Go Travel Kit. The rest of the line is 100% Paraben-free.

Key Ingredients:

Milk
Milk protein has excellent water-binding properties, making this ingredient an ideal moisturizing agent. It also has film-forming capacity, which helps give skin radiance and a soft touch. When milk protein is hydrolyzed, its smaller components are also referred to as milk amino acids or casein amino acids. Part of the alpha hydroxy acid family (AHA), lactic acid is naturally found in milk and has intense hydrating benefits as well as exfoliating properties. By gently removing the dry, clean outermost layers of skin while moisturizing the new layers, lactic acid has the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help promote a radiant, more even-toned complexion.

Sandalwood
Sandalwood has been used in Southeast Asia for centuries as a topical anti-inflammatory agent to help treat skin conditions including acne, eczema, sunburn, or whenever skin suffers from itching and irritation. These calming and cooling properties have made sandalwood powder an ideal remedy for delicate and sensitive skin, or any skin type stressed by environmental aggression.

All Ingredients
Rice (Oryza sativa) Starch, Kaolin, Milk Powder, Red Sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) Powder, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Propylparaben, Methylparaben.

Grow Your Own Medicine

Seed Pack Description
For hundreds of years before modern medicine, herbs were the medicine of early Americans, both Native and European. Even today, herbs remain one of the primary sources of medical remedies in both modern laboratories and natural medicine. Heirloom Organics offers the best selection of natural remedies available to the home gardener today.

THE PACK INCLUDES: (click to purchase)

Echinacea Angustifolia

Americans may have used echinacea for more than 400 years to treat infections and wounds and as a general “cure-all.” Today, people use echinacea to shorten the duration of the common cold and flu and reduce symptoms, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and fever. Many herbalists also recommend echinacea to help boost the immune system and help the body fight infections. Echinacea is well known for its anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

FENNEL
Fennel Teas, or Fennel Water have been used throughout history to break up kidney stones, increase the flow of milk in nursing mothers, a weight loss aid, help with menopausal symptoms, quiet hiccups, prevent nausea, aid digestion, prevent gout, purify the liver, reverse alcohol damage to the liver, and treat jaundice. For babies, it is said to to relieve colic and flatulence, and to expel worms. It may be effective when used along with conventional treatments in prostate cancer (and it is worth trying, but consult with your doctor first). The tea can also be gargled as a breath freshener and applied as an eye wash. Alternatively, the leaves can be dried, pulverized into a powder, and made into Capsules for when it’s not convenient to utilize a tea.

FEVER FEW

Used for centuries in European folk medicine as a remedy for headaches, arthritis, and fevers. The term feverfew is adapted from the Latin word febrifugia or “fever reducer.”Feverfew is also used to treat menstrual irregularities, labor difficulties, skin conditions, stomach aches, and asthma.

LAVENDER
Lavender has been used as an herbal remedy, and has antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsive, and anti-depressant properties. Internally, Lavender is believed to be of beneficial for ailments including stress, anxiety, exhaustion, irritability, headaches, migraines, insomnia, depression, colds, digestion, flatulence, upset stomach, liver and gallbladder problems, nervousness, loss of appetite, and as a breath freshener and mouthwash. Inhaling the essential oil in some cases has been reported to work as well as narcotics for inducing relaxation and sleep and reducing headache pain.

MULLEIN
Mullein has been used as an alternative medicine in many countries throughout the world. The value of Mullein as a proven medicinal herb is now backed by scientific evidence. Research indicates uses as analgesic, antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, bacteristat, cardio-depressant, estrogenic, fungicide, hypnotic, sedative and pesticide are valid.

STINGING NETTLE
Stinging nettle has been used to treat painful muscles and joints, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. Today, many people use it to treat urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate (called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), urinary tract infections, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), or in compresses or creams for treating joint pain, sprains and strains, tendinitis, and insect bites.

VALERIAN
Valerian is a central nervous system relaxer, and as such has been used as a calming sleep aid for over 1,000 years. When taken in the proper dosage, Valerian can induce restful sleep without grogginess the next morning, unlike prescription drugs that mimic it’s properties, such as Valium. It is an effective stress reducer, and has benefit in cases of nervous tension, depression, irritability, hysteria, panic, anxiety, fear, stomach cramping, indigestion due to nervousness, delusions, exhaustion, and, of course, nervous sleeplessness. It also appears to have real benefits in cases of sciatica, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, shingles, and peripheral neuropathy, including numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and pain in the extremities.
