Herbs For The Skin and Body

Sponsored Links

This list is designed to help you find a natural herbal cream, lotion or oil for some skin problems along with other ailments.

Since skin problems are a major cause of problems for pets, this list is included to help you find a herb for a particular reason. This list also includes some non-skin related problems.

The list below sometimes refers to a product name rather than a herb itself. Example: Rain Forest cream uses herbs from the rain forests.

Although you can find many herbal products that have these herbs in their creams, lotions or oils, I prefer the products made by Ferlow Botanicals. Ferlow Botanicals only use the highest quality ingredients and they use no harmful chemicals. They really do make natural products.

As always, diet plays an important role in preventing and eliminating problems. Serious skin problems should always be addressed by a veterinarian, preferably a holistic veterinarian.

Please note: This list is not intended to prescribe or to make specific claims for any herb or product. Any attempt to diagnose and treat problems should come under the direction of your veterinarian, preferably a holistic veterinarian. Instead, this list is meant to help educate.

I'm A Sexy Canine

I don't want to wag my tail here too much, but I'm a sexy canine.

Now, I know what you're thinking and you're right, beauty comes from within, and it does! You see, in my case, my bowel is so clean, I can't help but be sexy.

I'm extremely vibrant and I owe it all to eating fresh wholesome foods. Fresh food helps maintain regularity naturally. In turn, this helps ensure toxins leave via my stools and not via my skin. Fresh food helps maintain friendly bacteria in my colon also.

Wholesome food keeps my bowels cleaner than a puppy that just had a bath!

Being able to rid my insides of toxins easily is vital to helping keep me a sexy canine on the outside with no extra weight due to a ballooned colon!

A clean colon will help give you a wonderful and vibrant Body Design By Katherine!
