Medicinal Action

Skin, Hair & Nail Health
Skin conditions can range from mild irritations, such as dryness or itchiness, to more severe or chronic issues, such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne. They may be triggered by allergens, stress, infections, hormone imbalances, or environmental factors. Herbal remedies traditionally used to support healthy skin include calendula (Calendula officinalis), which has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), which helps soothe irritated or inflamed skin. Burdock root (Arctium lappa) is often used as an internal remedy for its blood-purifying properties, which may help address skin issues like acne or chronic rashes.
Topical applications of aloe vera can help soothe burns, dryness, or irritated skin, while tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is effective for acne due to its antimicrobial properties. Maintaining healthy skin also involves staying hydrated, eating a nutrient-rich diet, and avoiding harsh chemicals or irritants that could worsen skin issues. Holistic approaches often focus on both internal and external treatments to restore skin balance and promote healing.
