Welcome to Nature's Common Scents.

In addition to offering you a list and descriptions of the herbal remedies I make personally in my kitchen to help treat skin problems, the purpose of this brochure is to give you a little insight into how

plants can change your life.

The human body is designed to heal itself. Observe a simple cut on your finger. It's not anything you put on it that .makes. it go away; your body can accomplish that all on it's own. However, how you care for that cut can help promote the healing that would take place anyway and avoid infection.

If you have skin issues it is important to realize that many problems are the result of something going on inside the body, and therefore cannot be .healed. topically. However, most can be made to look and feel better with topical treatments.

I believe the best, safest and most natural way to encourage healing of our outsides (and our insides) is to use plants.

We have a lot in common with plants and are totally dependent upon them to sustain our lives. Of course we use them extensively for food and medicine. But they do more! They exhale oxygen, we inhale oxygen. They .inhale. pollutants - that translate into cleaner air.

Many plants and herbs accelerate healing both externally and internally. One of the best of those for topical healing is the comfrey plant. I have grown that plant for most of my adult life. Its ability to heal is well documented. Therefore many of my products contain that plant.

My company is called .Nature's Common Scents. because I like to use plants that are .common. and .scents. that you will recognize. To me, that just makes .sense.. I believe that where God put people, He put the plants that they need, both for food and for healing. That doesn't mean that we don't reach beyond our borders for some quite delicious eating; likewise we find many wonderful healing plants in other parts of the world. Still, I usually focus on what grows right here in the USA, and in fact, most of the herbs I use are what I grow, or have grown, in my own garden.

You will be familiar with almost all the herbs I use because they are .common.. And those you are not readily familiar with, you will find easy to research. There are no mysterious ingredients in my products.

Whether or not you have a particular skin problem, I want to encourage you to learn more about any products you are using now. Also I encourage you to question not just what you put on your body, but everything you put into your body. Start healing from within!

If I can help, don't hesitate to e-mail me. Sondra Johnson
