Althea
Althea has a long history of healing, dating back to the Greek physician Hippocrates who
described the value of this herb as a great treatment for wounds, and renaissance herbalists
used Althea for gonorrhea, stomach problems, sore throats, leukorrhea, and as a gargle for
infections of the mouth. Althea has strong medicinal qualities and can be used to soothe and
heal inflammations of the digestive tract, the mouth, gastritis, peptic ulcer, enteritis
and colitis. Externally, the Althea roots are often used for varicose veins and ulcers as
well as abscesses and boils. We use it here because it has proven to be another one of
those special healing ingredients for the skin.

There are eight forms of Vitamin E. We use the most active form called tocopherol, which is a natural source of Vitamin E, providing a number of benefits to the skin. Vitamin E is a powerful biological antioxidant. It protects your skin against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging bi- products of the body’s metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell damage that may contribute to cardiovascular disease and cancer. With a deficiency in Vitamin E you also run the risk of developing diseases such as, cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, cholestasis and Alzheimer’s. Internally, the best sources for Vitamin E are vegetable oils, nuts and green leafy vegetables. We use it in this formula because it is vitally important in the fight against the continual process of body tissue deterioration.
Aloe Vera is extremely rich in nutrients, minerals, amino acids and active compounds, and is
one of the most miraculous and widely used natural healing ingredients in the world. Its
healing properties were discovered centuries ago in Africa, but Aloe Vera is now cultivated
in topical regions throughout the world. Although it has been used as an ingredient in
medications in many cultures, the Egyptians made it popular as a way to enhance the natural
beauty of the skin and to counter the effects of an arid climate. It is well known that
Cleopatra used it as a beauty cosmetic and Alexandra the Great used it to heal his soldiers.
American Medical Journal was one of the first to publish its healing qualities in treating
skin lesions caused by x-rays. Since then, there have been numerous scientific studies published
on the amazing qualities of this celebrated plant. We use it in this product because it is one
of the best sources for skin nourishment and repair.
