Main Ingredients

Wild yam is a plant that has been used for centuries in herbal medicine. The nutrients in wild yam have traditionally been used in a variety of ways for a variety of reasons. More recently it has become popular as it may show some benefit in women with menopause symptoms including vaginal dryness, skin redness and pigmantation changes, cramping and hormone balance. It is also used for fertility issues (although it cannot be used whilst pregnant) and for menstural cramps. It has also been used through the ages to help support symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, skin sensitivity and irritability, reddening, flashing, thinning skin, brown spots, and exceptionally dry skin.

Naturally containing the compound diosgenin which is said to help the body to produce progesterone, oestrogen and DHEA where necessary. It is even extracted and manipulated in labratories to create some combined contraception pills and other steroid pharmaceuticals. Rather than containing the hormones itself, it is believed that wild yam may assist the body to make the adaptations necessary to achieve optimum hormone balance. Diosgenin may also be collagen-boosting, and helps to restore the keratinocyte ( responsible for aging of the skin) so is ideal for keeping the skin looking young and fresh.

There are also antioxidants in wild yam that may help to relieve the skin from sensitivities and irritations. Several studies are now also noting a link between wild yam helping to reduce symptoms and inflammation in arthritis, potentially reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness in your joints. There are many hesitations nowadays about taking Wild Yam internally and so having it in a skin care product is seen to be safer and therefore more effective and therapeutic. Especially when combined with other herbs and energetics.

Tulsi or holy basil is an adaptogenic herb and is also known as the “queen of herbs”. A revered and holy plant in Hinduism, used to help heal many ailments.

An adaptogen will 'adapt' to what the body needs within the circumstances it is in. In this way, Tulsi may aid our bodies in reacting to or recovering from both short- and long-term physical or mental stress. It has also shown support for the immune system and overall well-being. Tulsi also is seen to generally help combat fatigue, balance blood sugar levels enhance mental cognition, ease depression and soothe anxiety, and help you thrive rather than just survive each day.

Every Ayurvedic household uses Tulsi on the skin for many benefits. Tulsi contains linoleic acid, alongside vitamin A, C and zinc, which is extremely beneficial for skin both when consumed and applied topically. Most people who use Tulsi report a clear, bright and blemish-free skin tone, dark spots are reduced and also calm is restored.

With many nutrients and therapeutic compounds, Tulsi may help the body and mind to adapt to the world within and surrounding you. This comes in handy navigating all the changes you come across during and leading up to menopause.

Skullcap is traditionally used for its nervine soothing properties. It is very effective for insomnia and to calm and restore the mind and body to be able to get to sleep and more importantly, to stay asleep. A common symptom in peri-menopause and beyond. However it is being used more modernly for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties.

Recent studies have shown that Skullcap may potentially contains more UVB-blocking properties than your regular sunscreen. Containing effective anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that may provide an ability to inhibit melanin synthesis and protect against sun damage.

By using a liquid extract you are also able to absorb and gaining the nutrient benefits of Skullcap. These include flavonoids (baicalein, oroxylin A, and wogonin) and other abundant bioactive elements, such as terpenes and volatile oils. There are also some particularly potent antioxidants such as Oroxylin A and wogonin. These are also absorbed in the skin and have been seen to promote cellular regeneration that may increase the firmness of your skin and its improve it's elasticity.

Skullcap is commonly used to help balance hormones and stimulate endorphins, the feel good hormone. All these capabilities and possibilites make Skullcap essential in this blend for you

The benefits from extracting the nutrients and scent from Frankinsence resin in this skincare mean the results go way beyond simply smelling like Christmas! Made by seeping the resin in oil, the resin dissolves, making the oil rich in nutrients as well as infusing all the well known healing compounds.

Its high fat content allows the skin to stay hydrated and to help the body to absorb all the wonderful nutrients and compounds contained in your balm.

For centuries, people have use lavender to promote feelings of relaxation and support healthful sleep.

By helping to support a more restful sleep, Lavender is able to calm and soothe both emotional and physical symptoms.
