Saint Johns Wort

is a medicinal herb used for centuries. It is most known to help with depression. An infusion of this alchemical soap used daily is sure to lift your spirits.

More over St. Johns wort is known to alleviate rashes and wounds when used topically.

Traditionally, the medicinal and restorative aspects of this herb have been recorded by herbalists since the time of Hippocrates.

The ancient Greeks used it to heal wounds and burns.

More recently,  studies show that the extracts of this herb contain high doses of antioxidants which are very effective in relieving inflammation and healing the skin.

There is strong scientific support proving that the oil of St. John’s Wort is effective in stress reduction and relief from depression.

The fresh flowers of St. John’s Wort are crushed to release reddish-purple colored oil.

The antibacterial properties of St. John’s Wort have been medically proven to ease  itching and redness in people suffering from eczema. The anti-inflammatory fatty acids and hyperforin in the herb also promotes the growth of new skin cells.

Hypericin and Carotenoids in St. John’s Wort protect  skin from harmful UV rays. In fact, Hypericin has been shown to act as a ‘photodynamic agent’ to prevent skin cancer. Hyperforin in St. John’s Wort stimulates growth and differentiation of keratonicytes (the most common type of skin cells) which slows down photoaging of the skin.

We harvested this batch of Saint John’s Wort from Washington State. We were spending some time with an ayurvedic shaman, who taught us how to properly identify and spot this common plant. It was amazing to see the olive oil turn a bright beautiful red. It was the beginning of everything for me, during this harvest. I hope this infusion will bring much love and healing to you as well.

Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal helps draw microparticles, such as dirt, dust, chemicals, toxins, and bacteria, to the surface of the skin, to make removing them easier. Charcoal absorbs smells and harmful gases, making it ideal in my Soaps.

Activated charcoal is also reported to be able to absorb excess moisture and control humidity levels at a micro level.

Around the world, many different traditional medicine practitioners use activated charcoal powder made from coconut shells to treat soft tissue conditions, such as skin infections. Activated charcoal has antibacterial effects by absorbing harmful microbes from wounds.

This Batch of Saint John’s Wort Milky Soap was made with organic coconut husk activated charcoal.

 

Vermont Pure Maple Syrup

A study by the University of Rhode Island produced findings that suggested red maple leaf extract can act as a “plant-based Botox” by working to prevent inflammation, lighten dark spots, and even protect the skin’s elasticity. With up to 24 antioxidants, like benzoic acid, gallic acid and cinnamic acid, working to counter the high sugar count found in syrup, these compounds serve to prevent chronic disease and treat inflammation. Also, much like raw forms of honey, maple syrup extract applied directly to your skin has been known to treat dryness, redness and even blemishes.

Please don’t mistake this for your found in your big box store Mrs. Butterworth High fructose syrup! We used Pure, straight from the tap of the tree maple syrup, that we sourced in Jay, Vermont.

This bar is perfect with these four ingredients. But it’s fun to add color, and create different combinations with medicinal dyes and fragrances.

If you want to stick to just these four infusions choose : “The Milky Way: Activated Charcoal” for your medicinal dye.
