The Arabians used it in massage oils. 
It is critical that chamomile flowers are stored in a dark, dry, and cool place. Refrigeration or freezing is highly recommended, but not necessary. Following these suggestions will delay the loss of its highly valued nutritional and medicinal properties.

Calendula is used externally as a tea, in baths or salves, and for skin issues. It is not related to the common garden Marigold, although it is commonly called Pot Marigold.

Traditionally used as a gargle for helping to reduce inflammation of the mouth, throat, and tonsils, this colorful herb has many soothing and healing properties. Calendula is most frequently used externally on wounds, burns, sensitive skin and for first aid purposes, as it may help soothe and rejuvenate the skin.

Common names: Calendula, Pot Marigold

Excerpts from The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook
"With those bright, yellow orange flowers, you might mistake Calendula Flowers for any other marigold. But calendula is actually an entirely different plant. It's native to northern Africa and the south-central portion of Europe, but it can be grown elsewhere, including indoors. If you can't visually distinguish calendula flowers from marigold, you'll probably be more successful using your nose: regular garden marigolds give off a strong, unpleasant aroma (although some people like it); calendula flowers are comparatively milder. Therapeutic uses for calendula flowers include burns, inflammation, mucositis, and pharyngitis."

Excerpts from Practical Herbalism
"Calendula is a remedy long used throughout Europe and the Americas for wound healing and ulcer treatments. Culpeper speaks of the flowers, either fresh or dried, as being 'much used in possets, broth, and drink as a comforter of the heart and spirits, and to expel any malignant or pestilential quality which might annoy them."

100% pure Calcium Bentonite Clay. Bentonite Calcium clay is carefully harvested from naturally occurring volcanic ash and contains high levels of numerous trace minerals.We feel that this clay is superior for use in a variety of ways including making your own facial masks.

The FDA has issued two warnings about using Bentonite Clay internally.  So for your safety, this product is labelled for External use only.  Please consult with your health care provider before adding any herb/supplements to your routine.

This amazing clay is carefully harvested from naturally occurring volcanic ash in the United States. It contains high levels of numerous trace minerals. We love to use bentonite clay in our bath and body recipes. It makes an amazing mask or detoxing bath. 

Bentonite Clay is recognized more and more for the amazing benefits that it has. It is full of minerals. There is a revival for its historically respected detoxing abilities. All Bentonite has at least 30% of montmorillonite in it, and montmorillonite is also in other mineral composites. The montmorillonite Bentonite Clay contains ions. The ions act as a magnet with an electrical charge that draws the opposite charge. All types of Bentonite have negative charged ions which bond to positive charged particles. That is a really good thing! You know how they say living in the country, breathing fresh air from plants, the wood, the ocean, and waterfall spray (and bentonite clay) are all good for you? They all have negative ions which have traditionally been respected for their abilities to attract and absorb positive ions. Because of Bentonite clay’s powerful detoxing abilities, people use it for cleansing including eliminating odors, purification, baths, masks, and so much more.

Calcium Bentonite vs. Sodium Bentonite

The difference between calcium and sodium bentonite clay is the higher levels of those minerals. You can take calcium bentonite clay and add salt and it would be sodium bentonite. Calcium is also found at higher elevations and is a cleaner clay. Both clays have at least 30% of montmorillonite in it, but montmorillonite is also in other mineral composites. Montmorillonite has high levels of negative ions that may help with cleansing.

Calcium Bentonite: obviously has more calcium than sodium. It is often more alkaline. Calcium Bentonite expands in size, but not as much as Sodium Bentonite.

Sodium Bentonite: clay soaks up water quickly and swells up to 15x its size. Sodium Bentonite clay is often used in everything from industrial uses, products, bath soaks, poultices and more.

The FDA has issued two warnings about using Bentonite Clay internally.  So for safety, this product is labelled for External use only.  Please consult with your health care provider before adding any herb/supplements to your routine.
