Natures Powerful Botanical Healers
Ancient Egypt was a civilisation that lasted from 3300 to 525 BC. This is probably where the concept of health started. Some of the earliest records of medical care come from ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians used natural, or practical, remedies, such as herbs for their restorative and healing properties to the mind, skin and soul. Plants have been revered for their natural ability to heal skin due to the powerful antioxidant protection from environmental aggressors, anti-inflammatory properties that calm inflamed skin to the nourishing and cellular renewal properties contained in the blooms. Selecting the most nutritious plants from Africa and England with modern natural science we have created Amina Ritual Cleansing Oil, Makeda Radiance Botanical Oil and Nefertiti Radiance Botanical Serum.
