Rashes / Inflamed Skin / Itchy Skin

Not all rashes and inflamed skin are caused by the same thing, of course. Poison ivy, for example, is a temporary rash; eczema can be ongoing, and psoriasis is a medical condition. But in most incidences skin problems exhibit in similar ways – red, sometimes, painful, itchy, scaling, inflamed skin. At Nature’s Common Scents we are very concerned about the cause of the problem, and know that you are too. But we also know that most of the time the first thing that you want is to have your skin look and feel better. These natural plant products were created specifically for such problems.

Big Jim’s Cream #1 Product
This cream’s blend of plants and herbs does just about everything cortisone cream does without those unwanted side effects! A recipe I developed first for my son’s skin problem expanding upon an old English recipe for a healing diaper rash cream suitable for babies. The plants in this product stop pain and itch and quickly improve the appearance of psoriasis, eczema, irritating rashes, cracked feet, cold sores and even has been shown to help relieve pain, itch and soreness of shingles and hemorrhoids. Use for insect bites, bee and wasp stings (and resulting ache) and itchy rashes like poison ivy, as well as for healing and relieving pain of minor cuts and bruises. Customers tell me they have used Big Jim’s to prevent jock itch and soothe sore bottoms in both children and adults. Also good for chaffed skin and sore noses . Contains a therapeutic infusion of Comfrey leaf and root, Oregon grape root, Marshmallow root, and Calendula flowers, Rosehip seed (10% of the product), Grapeseed, Evening primrose and Wheat germ oils, Tea tree, Aloe, Carrot seed and Mint oils.

Scripture Soap

A hobby of mine is collecting plants mentioned in the Bible. One morning while researching soap recipes, I realized how many of the plants I used are named in Scripture. Each of the Scriptures is named on the label of this good-smelling soap, giving you a chance to figure out what the ingredients are! This unique cleansing bar makes a wonderful gift for a Bible group, teacher or friend. Ingredients are listed on the label as Bible verses, so it requires a little research! (A little card inside the soap bag has the answers if your Bible isn’t handy!)

Special Moments

As women begin the middle years of their lives one very private skin problem affects many: vaginal dryness. But it’s often not discussed, and when it is mentioned to doctors they generally offer estrogen creams or oral hormones, which can have unwanted side effects. Not only is vaginal dryness uncomfortable, but it can contribute to a cycle of itching, redness, soreness, and even bladder and yeast infections. And it makes romantic evenings painful. Advertising today offers sticky, often unpleasant moisturizers that are promoted as making intimacy more pleasurable. Certainly for women who suffer from vaginal dryness, “pleasurable” is not the word I would use. Furthermore, vaginal dryness isn't just something bothersome during intercourse; it is a persistent, sometimes medical, problem. Skin is skin, and when our own bodies seem to be turning against us, we need to moisturize and repair even in our most private areas. Special Moments is a blend of gentle plant oils that lubricate as well as help rejuvenate skin tissue (Evening primrose and Rosehip seed oils which are gentle, moisturizing and healing with Rose Absolute which is anti-inflammatory, cooling and soothing) and therefore, used over time, can not only provide immediate relief but improve vaginal skin over time. Contains Evening primrose, Rosehip seed, Olive, Coconut oil, Shea butter, Beeswax and rose absolute. Quarter pound.
