I really enjoyed reading this blog. I truly believe that the giant leaps in medical science that we have taken over the course of the last century and The high levels of accuracy of the diagnostic tools and techniques of the modern era can be used to complement the natural curative powers that reside in medicinal herbs and alternative medicines that have been in use in various parts of the world. In my search I found http://www.youherbal.com , not only they have the herbal remedies but also the Herbal products that can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle. I look forward to all the updates. Thanks again.

I don’t personally know anything about Thomas Jefferson’s use of Calendula, but, it has been a folk remedy for skin ailments since antiquity, and Calendula has apparently always been a fixture at Monticello, so it seems likely that he would have grown it for that reason. Ancient Egyptians used it on wounds, it was used for bruises and burns in the Middle Ages and fields of it were grown during wartime over centuries past for use on soldier’s injuries. Here’s a link where you can learn more: http://www.herbsforhealth.com/index.php?page=article&do=view&id=calendula

Hope that helps!

My understanding of the results of the study were that while some of KMF’s cleansers tested postive for Dioxane, the moisturizers didn’t. Of course, they didn’t test KMF’s entire line. My feelings about those test results and what they mean to us as consumers are long and complex enough to write an essay about! So I won’t go into that here. :)

Ooh, eczema is tough. I don’t have any experience with it personally but have heard from a local herbalist that I speak to on occasion that St. John’s Wort oil mixed with equal parts aloe vera gel can be really soothing. Calendula is actually a good choice too, in a coconut oil or olive oil base. Burdock seed oil is another option but it can be hard to find.

A friend of mine went to a holistic healer for her eczema and they suggested she be tested for food allergies - it’s believed they can be an underlying cause…

I have seen, at least, 7 doctors. Some have been able to tame the ailment, but none have completely cured me. I guess it is something I will have to learn to live with, but would love a soothing remedy to help me bare the annoyance. Any suggestions?
