HAIRCARE

– wash your hair with our soapwort shampoo. Made from soapwort root, yucca and rosemary – nothing else – pure and simple. Yucca is known for its help in hair loss, hair thinning and baldness (including tinea or ringworm in the scalp which causes bald patches). Washes and softens your hair and cleanses your scalp; conditions and cleans – couldn’t be more natural. How to use: put a teaspoon or two of the powder into a cup or bowl, pour boiling water on either to make a loose paste or a tea (experiment to see what you like), when cooled use on your hair (some people prefer to strain it first). Best to put plenty on and allow to soak and condition for a good while before washing out. No conditioner necessary – the herbs are your hair and scalp conditioners.
Both our soap and shampoo powders are low lather products – completely natural!
“I’ve tried the shampoo & found it washed my hair well” – Linda (London)
“Your shampoo is really good. It becomes like a jelly and cleans my hair like the American Indians used to use. I’m glad you use Yucca in it which is so good for the hair and scalp. My wife likes it as well.” Peter (Kent)
“I love your Shampoo powder and I now also am regularly using your Bhringaraj Oil.” Christine Morgan.

– ‘Bhringaraj’ means ‘King of Hair’ in Sanskrit. This oil is traditionally used in India to nourish the hair, improve hair growth, kill any mites (!) and strengthen the hair roots and shaft. Its rejuvenating properties can help to prevent early greying and balding in both women and men. Our Bhringaraj is made from organic herbs and organic coconut oil. Directions for use: Apply to the scalp 1 or 2 times weekly. Gently massage the oil into the scalp and allow it to be absorbed into your scalp. Can be left on for hours as you do the household chores (wrap your hair in a towel or use cling-film for a more intense action); or use at night (wrap hair or use a tight hair cap) and wash hair in the morning, or use sparingly as a hair dressing for shining locks. Tell us what you did and the comments you got.
“This is amazing Alan! My wife thought I’d dyed my hair!”

This colour range is made only with herbs and different Middle Eastern and Asian hennas. Strand test before using. Full instructions are given for these herbal hair dyes. Don’t expect anything dramatic – unless you’ve got grey or white hair and use our Red on its own!
– Brown – this can cover grey to give a light reddy-brown colour
– Rich Red Brown – this covers grey to give an auburn colour
– Red – this is bright ginger red

– “The lotion is particularly impressive. It actually colours my hair. I received the Haer Haer mix in May, the Haer Haer lotion is very good, not only does it help improve the texture it also gently colours which means I have replaced the hair dye with a semi permanent colour. I enjoy using this natural herbal product.” Val, London.

– “I have been using your lotion for over a year now and I’m very impressed – my hair is coming back!” Ian

FACE CARE

– to nourish the skin around your eyes; helps skin tone and prevent wrinkles

– to clear the eyes for added sparkle. Drop a few drops in an eyebath of warm water and bathe each eye. Clears and refreshes. Removes sand and particles and keeps the tear ducts flushed. Buy an EyeBath as well if you don’t have one at home. (Note: You must not use these drops directly in the eyes. Only use the drops in an eye bath)

– made with comfrey and other nurturing, toning, skin-tightening herbs, this is a popular lotion

– made with Aloe Vera Gel. Use sparingly before make up (allow to soak in first), or without make up for an all day fresh feel. Reapply if necessary.

– sea kelp is a well-known mega-nutrient often used in beauty therapy. We’ve combined it with comfrey known world-wide for its healing, protective and tightening qualities. Often preferred for an aging face.

– hemp is becoming better known in beauty salons due to its versatility and gentle nourishing qualities. Slightly oily so it’s better for dry skins.

– we’ve had this product for many years and it is loved by all who use it. It is made with china clay and fresh wheatgrass juice. It contains that lovely smelling geranium oil. Nice to use as a moisturizer at night.

– apply this lotion regularly to spots and pimples, acne and blackheads on the face and neck and shoulders; especially useful for angry spots and to help preventing them getting worse. This lotion is known to clear spots (often best when used with SpotLess Tonic)

– this is a mask you don’t want to miss using! Alan our herbalist collects the sea purslane fresh from the clean shores near the New Forest in Hampshire England. It is a wonderful herb (edible) that is salty and claimed to be better than sea kelp because of its remarkable medicinal value. You can find out more about this remarkable plant at https://www.herbactivehealth.com/shop/sea-purslane-and-marshmallow-mask/ Purslane and marshmallow, both from the seashore, are perfect to use as a mask after rambling on the cliffs, or cycling in the dales, where your face has born the brunt of sun and wind; apply and relax with a hot cup of green tea and let the nutrients of the mask restore and improve your skin.

– this mask is thick and does two things at the same time – it detoxifies the facial cells by drawing and cleansing and it nourishes with the oats and honey to moisturize and rejuvenate.

–  maca has been found to promote a healthy, radiant complexion and to structurally enhance the firmness of skin and boost its inherent protective abilities. This once little-known root from Peru is proving that it can you to have younger looking skin. It firms skin and leaves it feeling smoother with fewer unwelcome fine lines and wrinkles. We already include this herb in our internal powder mixture the ABC Daily Herbal Powder.

– this face mask for men follows the tradition of the Green Man. He has hair and beard of oak leaves. He represent the spirit of nature, the eternal youth. This mask is made with oak which is astringent, wound healing, skin tightening … youth giving!

– for nasal polyps. More medicinal in a sense but it can also be an important application for clearing nasal passages for easier breathing and speaking.

– congestion drops to help clear a stuffed-up nose

– coconut and marigold oil to nourish and improve your smile; good for dry lips

– to help reduce wrinkles on and around the lips

– keep this in your bathroom for immediate application; clears cold sores almost instantly. Cold sores are known as the kissing condition – it is very contagious. This lotion has a very long shelf life and so can be instantly to hand to prevent your developing cold sore from getting any worse (and getting passed on)

– a great multiherbal breath freshener and whole mouth protector; after holding it in your mouth you can even swallow it like a tonic so that it works back through the bloodstream to the teeth and gums

– this completely natural toothpaste is made with MouthShield and includes arrowroot, slippery elm bark, coconut oil, bicoarbonate of soda, with menthol oil; natural dark colour. Apply to your toothbrush like any toothpaste – but notice the difference and great herb action on your teeth, gums and mouth; works with your natural mouth defences.

– “wow, your toothpaste is good, my mouth feels really refreshed afterwards. I really love the subtle salty taste with the myrrh, thyme and Stevia … so nice to know it’s completely herbal and fluoride free!” Jane. “It’s better than ordinary toothpaste and better than all the natural toothpastes I’ve tried!” Sue.

“Your MouthShield Toothpaste is fantastic! Excellent! Really good for the gums! I love it and use it all the time. But I did find it a bit thick for the squeezy bottle but with a little snip of the top it came out perfectly onto my toothbrush – the screw top was unaffected. You still get ten out of ten for this product. It just wows the mouth!!” Lyn V. UK

– Our SkinClear Soap is simply a mixed powder of soapwort root, comfrey, slippery elm powder, marshamallow root, oats and lavender flowers – all perfect for your skin’s health and cleanlines.
