Skin Care Treatment With Herbs Offers A Sense of Well-Being

03/15/2008

Some natural skin care treatment ingredients do more than just help the skin: they also offer a sense of well-being – which is one of the reasons why going to a natural spa for skin care is so therapeutic. Natural skin care treatment products that don’t contain harmful chemicals go a long way to encouraging a sense of well-being as the chemicals irritate both the skin and the nervous system. But if you want a little extra, check your skin treatment products for these ingredients:

• Aloe Vera is rich in over 200 nutrients and promotes healing and regeneration. It soothes the skin and the rest of the body.
  
  
• Astragalus promotes healing and gives one a general sense of well-being. Astragalus is commonly used in Chinese medicine on post surgical patients to heal wounds and skin ulcers. It is actually considered to generate flesh.
  
  
• Avena Sativa and Lavender, both excellent for healing skin problems rapidly, are also anti-spasmodics. While you’re healing, your central nervous system is calmed and relaxed.
  
  
• Green tea, rose petals, witch hazel and yarrow are all anti-inflammatories. Inflammation is a major cause of disease, both in the skin and the rest of the body. The green tea and rose petals also fight fine lines and wrinkles, the witch hazel is a healing astringent, and the yarrow improves circulation and helps eliminate toxins.
  
  
• Bergamot and orange peel are known for their ability to calm and soothe the skin. Orange peel, high in antioxidants, also fights free radicals and strengthens skin tissue.
  
  
• Salt and skullcap relieve sore muscle and muscle cramps. Salt is also high in trace minerals - which are well absorbed in this form because salt also dilates the pores. Skullcap is high in calcium, potassium and magnesium: all of which relax and soothe muscles and the nervous system.

Knowing the properties of herbs helps you choose skin care treatment products that also benefit your general health. Whichever products you choose, make sure you also use a shielding lotion. A good shielding lotion keeps out the chemicals you just can’t avoid when you live in an industrialized, polluted environment. Herbs will help you relax, but if you want skin treatment that keeps out the chemicals that irritated the nervous system in the first place, make sure you use a shielding lotion.
