Do you have a scar that you wish will just fade away? These imperfections are quite embarras

sing as they appear in unwanted areas. Well, there are herbs, oils and butters in the plant kingdom that can help diminish them.

Comfrey to the rescue!

Most scar creams contain allantoin and you can buy them in a powdered form if you want them in your cream instead. But why buy them when you can have it naturally growing in your garden?

COMFREY

Comfrey (Symphytum officinale), often called knitbone, as it can “knit cells and tissues together”. The Cherokee tribe use this plant for a lot of ailments. I got my plant from my Amish friends and has become one of my favorite herb. It is an anti inflammatory, pain reliever and skin healer.

It is known for its high allantoin content which helps stimulate new cell growth and increase cell production. Its astringent tannins promotes healing by forming a protective layer over wounds. In other words, it causes cells to divide and grow for accelerated wound healing. It softens and soothes skin, speeds up tissue regeneration in insect bites, treats tags and warts, stops redness and irritation around wrinkles.

Due to its pyrrolizidine alkaloids, it is not recommended to be taken internally, thus we make a cream. Although a tea made from its leaves with calendula will help alleviate gastritis. Well,it is concentrated in the root (esp. Symphytum uplandicum) and in the fall season. The root should never be ingested in relation to liver cancer.

Why we choose these ingredients?

AVOCADO OIL – nourishing, protective

SHEA BUTTER – helps with dryness, damaged scarred skin

MACADAMIA NUT OIL – protective, healing, soothing esp. for damaged and scarred skin
