A few 'home-made' products that I get asked for:
Alison Odey produces a selection of fine, natural products out of her Bay of Plenty based Natural Therapy Clinic.
Castor Oil 50ml $NZ4.00
Castor oil packs are extremely useful for softening any hardened tissues or breaking up congestion in glands. Also for pulled ligaments or damaged cartilage. Castor oil should never be taken internally, as it is an extremely harsh laxative, for external use however, it is very effective as it penetrates through the skin to underlying tissues. Very worthwhile relief can be obtained in cases such as stiff and/or gritty knee joints, inflamed elbows and tight Achilles tendons. See page on Castor Oil packs.
Ear drops 25ml $NZ12.50
These ear drops are a blend of Sweet Almond oil, essential oils and herbs (including Golden Seal) that both soften ear wax and provide a strong antibacterial action. Safe for use with children.
Heat Rub 60gm $NZ15.00
120gm $NZ25.00
Made from Sweet Almond oil with essential oils added. These support circulation to the skin and also help prevent infection. Wonderful for use on stiff joints and can often soothe dry, tickly throats. Is suitable for use on children's skin.
Massage wax 120gm $NZ10.00
Made from Sweet Almond oil, and a little bees wax with essential oils added. It is blended to a soft, non-sticky cream, that flows on and doesn't leave a residue. Lovely to use.
Skin cream 60gm $NZ12.50
Made from an aqueous base with essential oils and herbs added. Is very soothing if used on unbroken dry, chafed, scratchy or reddened skin. Provides a degree of antibacterial action.
Propolis Tincture 25ml $NZ15.00
A 1:5 tincture without sweeteners or flavourings. Ideal for supporting the immune defences in the mouth, such as dry, scratchy throats, reddened gums etc.
Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
