Herbal Healing

This blog is dedicated to herbal healing and other natural health remedies. In an attempt to deepen my own knowledge, I will share information on a variety of herbs, focusing largely on easy to find Western plants, as well as methods for preparing herbal medicines and natural beauty treatments. I am not a certified herbalist, licensed cosmetologist, or physician, so please use the information on this blog at your own risk! I've been an aspiring herbalist for several years, and I hope to finally get my certification sometime this year.

First of all, please see your doctor to check out the bumps and make sure it’s nothing serious.  That said, elderflower, chickweed, calendula, and yarrow are all wonderfully healing herbs for for clearing up skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis.  Try infusing these some or all of these herbs in the oil of your choice (extra virgin olive oil works best) and using the oil on your skin like you would any moisturizer.  For more on how to make oil infusions, see this post!
