Psoriasis and Eczema

Many of us have complaints of dry, flaky and itchy skin conditions; but there are lots of natural remedies and dietary changes that can make all the difference. Manuka honey is absolutely brilliant for dry skin conditions: it's hydrating, repairs damaged skin and it also helps regenerate skin growth. Together with chickweed, manuka honey is the chief ingredient for our moisturizing cream while oats and chamomile are the bases for a gentle washcloth that will get rid of any dead skin cells. We also prepare an all-natural remedy for dandruff, a common condition that affects the scalp.
