“Though the chamomile, the more it is trodden on, the faster it grows, so youth, the more it is wasted, the sooner it wears.” William Shakespeare, Henry IV. In flowerbeds full of showy blooms, the small, dainty blooms of chamomile can become overshadowed and lost amongst double roses, hibiscus, phlox, beebalm and other large, bright flowers. In fact, because chamomile so readily reseeds in any crack or crevice that it can, we often take this powerful little herb for granted. However, in cultures all over the world the herb chamomile has been highly revered and even worshipped throughout history. The plants that we generally hear referred to as the herb chamomile are actually two separate plants. Roman or English chamomile is of the genus and species Chamaemelum nobile. This is considered the true chamomile. It is a perennial that is native to Western Europe and North Africa. German chamomile, or Matricaria recutita, is an annual native to Europe and Asia. It is considered to be the false chamomile. Despite their many similarities, there are specific differences that can help in distinguishing between these chamomiles. Because of their similar herbal qualities, both plants have been widely cultivated and used interchangeably. Both plants have also been associated with deities of the sun in many ancient religions. In ancient Egypt, chamomile was sacred to the sun god Ra and was highly revered over all other herbs. Chamomile flowers are found depicted in many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating back to over 2,000 years. Chamomile was valued not only as an herb that could heal any ailments, but Egyptian nobility also used it in their beauty regiments. Similar accounts of chamomile’s “heal all” herbal properties are found in ancient cultures all throughout both types of chamomile’s native ranges. Chamomile was listed as one of the nine sacred herbs of the Lacnunga, an ancient Anglo-Saxon herb guide. Ancient Greek physicians, like Dioscorides, made frequent mention of prescribing the herb chamomile for a variety of ailments. Medieval herbalists bred double-flowering varieties of chamomile to increase the plant’s healing parts, as it is the plant’s flowers that are used for herbal remedies. Chamomile plants were used as low-growing lawn plants throughout Europe and in parts of North America, long before the traditional turf lawn became popular. Regardless of their rich histories as sacred powerful herbs, today chamomiles grow like weeds all over the world. They are low growing, tough little plants that rapidly reseed themselves and naturalize wherever their seeds find a sunny location to set roots. As Shakespeare described in Henry IV, chamomile plants thrive despite human neglect. Most readers probably have naturalized patches of these potent little herbs growing in their yards. Chamomile plants are still widely cultivated for herbal use, though fresh chamomile from the garden is far more potent than the dried herb you can purchase as tea. Roman and German chamomile are used for their natural sedative, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-allergen, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. They are used to treat digestive problems, ulcers, menstrual troubles, allergies, asthma, arthritis, colic, headaches, insect bites, eczema, wounds, burns, eye inflammation, cold sores and most commonly anxiety. Most people are familiar with the calming, soothing effect of a cup of chamomile tea, and it is listed as one of the safest herbs to administer to young children. Chamomiles are also used in beauty products because they naturally soften and lighten skin and hair, and also treat acne and other skin problems. Chamomiles are also known to have healing and soothing effects on other plants. As companion plants, chamomiles can prevent many fungal and bacterial infections in the plants around them. They also repel many insect pests. Chamomiles are known to improve vigor in their plant companions. In his 1911 publication of The Herb Garden, herbalist France’s A. Bardswell called chamomile “the plant’s physician,” describing the healing effects chamomiles have on their companion plants. Next time you make yourself a nice, soothing cup of chamomile tea, also prepare one for that plant that always seems to struggle in your garden.

Zanabella.com Approx. 9 " 💛The Jasmine Flower💛 The word jasmine is derived from the Arabic word “yasmin,” which means fragrant flower. Jasmine often has white or yellow star-shaped flowers that grow on vines or as shrubbery. The genus jasmine, botanically named jasminum, is part of Oleaceae, or olive, family. The varieties of jasmine are used for different purposes. Jasminum officinale is best known for its fragrance. Jasminum grandiflorum, commonly called Spanish or Catalonia jasmine, has been cultivated in France for use in perfume for centuries, and continues to be part of the perfume industry that's vital to the French people. Jasminum sambac is used to make jasmine tea. As early as the 13th century, the Chinese were scenting their green tea with jasmine. Chinese herbalists continue to use jasmine to treat headaches, insomnia and bone pain.

For Calming the Nerves, Promoting Menstruation, and Relieving Itching “The mugwort plant has been traditionally used for everything from digestive disorders to beer-making, insect repellent, and more. Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.) is a perennial plant in the Asteraceae family. The plant is native to Northern Europe, and Asia; it can also be found in many parts of North America. The mugwort plant grows to 4 feet in height, but occasionally reaches heights of up to 6 feet. Its angular reddish-brown stems have bitter-tasting leaves that have a sage-like aroma. The plant blooms with yellow or dark orange flowers in the summer. The aerial parts of the mugwort plant are used as an essential oil. The plant is also burned in moxibustion practices. In addition to its medicinal use, mugwort has been used for smudging, protection, and inducing vivid dreams (when placed underneath a person’s pillow). Historically, mugwort was used by the Romans, who are said to have planted it by roadsides, so that marching soldiers could put the plant in their shoes. This was done to relieve aching feet. St. John the Baptist was said to have worn a girdle of mugwort. Health Benefits Mugwort has been ascribed many health-promoting and other beneficial properties.1 These include:
Common Uses
What Is Moxibustion? As part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), mugwort has been used in the practice of moxibustion for thousands of years. Moxibustion involves rolling mugwort into sticks or cones, igniting it, then waving it over the area that is to be treated. This serves to stimulate the acupuncture point with heat and the herb's chemical compounds. Although this procedure may sound primitive, there is clinical research evidence that backs the effectiveness of moxibustion and lends some credibility to the practice of moxibustion. How It Works The parts of the mugwort plant that grow aboveground are used to make essential oil, which is composed of several therapeutic chemicals (including camphor, pinene, and cineole). This chemical composition has diverse health-promoting properties including the plant’s antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal effects. Another chemical that has been extracted from mugwort is called artemisinin. It is thought to have antitumor activity. In addition, the chemicals in mugwort are thought to stimulate the uterus to contract, promoting menstrual flow. These chemicals are thought to lend themselves to the labor process in childbirth. This may result in a reduction in the dose of oxytocin to stimulate labor contractions. In ancient cultures, mugwort was smoked to promote vivid dreams. This is because mugwort is said to produce mild psychotropic effects during wakefulness. A psychotropic effect can be induced by a substance that impacts the mental state of a person. A lotion made of mugwort is sometimes applied to the skin for alleviating itching, caused by scars or burns. Research has shown that a lotion made of mugwort and menthol, applied to the skin, relieved itching in burn victims. Mugwort is considered a mild psychoactive herb (a substance that promotes effects such as sedation and euphoria). Some people take it for its hallucinogenic effects.

Research has shown that a lotion made of mugwort and menthol, applied to the skin, relieved itching in burn victims. Is mugwort the same as wormwood? There is some disagreement about the difference between mugwort and wormwood. Herbs have many different common names, which can cause confusion. By looking at the scientific name, it’s easy to identify when there are differences in the plants. The scientific name for wormwood is Artemisia absinthium. Mugwort’s scientific name, however, is Artemisia vulgaris. Although the two plants are closely related, there is a slight difference. Mugwort refers to all 200 aromatic plants found in the Artemisia genus; wormwood is just one of them. Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is the only variation of Artemisia that can be used to distill authentic absinthe. It is also commonly used to make vermouth. Possible Side Effects Mugwort is likely unsafe for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding. “ Source: Excerpts from article written By Sherry Christiansen Medically reviewed by Arno Kroner, DAOM, LAc Full article published in Verywellhealth.com Mugwort Bath Bomb

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.) Q. I have very dry sun damaged skin with deep lines and loss of elasticity. What can I use? A.
One thing to start is to create a consistent skin routine. This includes internal treatment as well like making sure you're drinking plenty of water to hydrate from within. Secondly, weekly gentle exfoliation should be done along with a skincare routine. Also, making sure to use only gentle soaps and not over soaping your entire body daily. Along with this I would suggest for the face: Cold Cream as a face wash at pm and am- Face & Neck Toner as a light wash Vitamin C Serum or Glycolic Serum with a heavy duty moisturizer like the Olivene. And possibly Decolletage Creme for the neck and upper chest area. The Revitalizing Mist will help refresh your skin throughout the day. These will improve elasticity, reduce lines and increase natural collagen production. Suggestions for the body: A heavy duty moisturizer such as Love Potion or Bergamot Spice Body Cremes applied as often as needed. These work even better directly after a shower or bath or exfoliation. Also, you may want to try a glycerin soap as they are very gentle on the skin.  Lindsay Mausner is the Owner, Esthetician of Skindividual Retreat located in Camp Hill, Pa.

"While I always loved my time working in salons, I quickly found my gifts specifically fell to makeup and skincare. Hungry for knowledge about this, believe it or not, organ of the body, I specifically sought out coursework and training that would empower me to be a top-notch makeup artist. It was during this journey for excellence that I branched out to all the incredible facets of caring for and nurturing skin. It wasn’t enough to learn makeup…I had to learn it all. I soaked up each certification, becoming an expert in makeup applications, waxing, facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, brow laminations and tinting, lash lifting and tinting, lash extensions, etc. I have over a decade of experience in the industry, with several of those years involving medi spa procedures. I also offer dermaplaning, medical-grade chemical peels, and use the top-of-the-line microneedling pen: SkinPen. Like you, I don’t put questionable products in or on my body. There’s a lot of beauty products that contain chemicals that are not well understood. I trust and recommend using Epionce skincare products, specifically made by an American dermatologist. I love this line because it is effective in targeting problematic skin, protecting the skin’s barrier and fighting off the aging process. What sets these products apart from others is the fact that the trial studies have all been done on the FINAL PRODUCTS (not just the ingredients, like most skincare companies do.) It’s efficacy is bar-none and I love that I can trust that it will do what it says it will do. It has provided such amazing results for my loyal clients. Another line that I use is called Zanabella. It’s a woman-owned local business that has really taken off on a national level. I love supporting local businesses, and this gives me an opportunity to serve my vegan clients with products that contain ZERO preservatives and chemicals. I incorporate both of these lines into my treatments and I love that both work synergistically together to provide great results, no matter the skin type. My style of sessions varies from a giggled-filled gab session to a blissfully silent relaxing spa session. You choose the style! My goal is to have my clients feeling balanced in mind, body and spirit! For those interested in Reiki, I can incorporate Reiki energy practices in the treatment of your choice. I’m often asked about my choice for the name of my first business, Skindividual. It’s simple, really. Each individual’s skin is unique. The balance of chemistry is unique to you…That’s why every single treatment that I do is customized for the individual client based on their needs for that day, combined with their end-goal. (I actually set goals with my clients and work towards achieving them over time!) Come find out why I’ve become one of the West Shore’s most popular estheticians by offering premium services filled with gratitude, kindness, and the occasional hug of encouragement."
