Since the beginning of time, Nature has provided care for man. Plant extracts have given man the opportunity to prevent and treat their diseases. The scientific pharmacy and chemically produced pharmaceuticals started with the extraction of natural chemicals from plants. Since then, we have left our health in the hands of chemical man-made alternatives. However, […]
Since man has existed, he has depended on Nature to prevent and treat diseases and other ailments, in addition to meeting the needs of the skin and hair.

So, now that that’s out in the open, we […]
So, if you are anything like me, your hair and skin has just about survived summer! Skin looking tired and dull, lines and wrinkles more apparent, and skin less hydrated in general.
