It awakens the confidence and inner vital forces necessary for healing on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. Because of Self-Heal's vigorous health-enhancing properties, we formulated a Self-Heal Creme, using a natural hypoallergenic base, and specially potentized with the flower essence and tincture of the Self-Heal plant. This creme can be used in a wide variety of circumstances - on wounds, cuts, rashes, sprains, and other injuries. Moreover, the Self-Heal Creme has been found highly effective for general skin care use. We have received a wide variety of reports from lay persons and practitioners alike who use the creme as a facial skin moistener, as a hand creme, or as a general body creme, and even for infant care. Self-Heal Skin Creme has such basic therapeutic and regenerative qualities that it can be used by young and old, in clinical situations and in home care. The creme has rapidly become one of our most popular items, and is in demand in many countries throughout the world.

The wide-mouth glass jar of Self-Heal Creme conveniently supports custom preparations, tailored to your needs. We suggest no more than three to four essences in an individualized combination. Be sure to label your jar, as you may want to create several different mixtures. We recommend using 24 drops of flower essence stock per 60 g / 2 oz jar of creme (120 drops for the 300 g / 10 oz size). It is ideal to stir the mixture with a wooden stick for at least three minutes, alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise motions, and ending with a clockwise motion.

Flower essences work on a more subtle level, helping to resolve issues within the mental-emotional realm which may also affect the physical body. Although the flower essences are commonly taken internally, they can also be applied topically and absorbed through the skin. Topical application seems to be most effective in those cases where there is a clear mind-body component. Emergency Situations and All-Purpose Health Care: Add Arnica, Red Clover, and the Healing Herbs Five-Flower Formula to Self-Heal Creme for a highly potent first-aid remedy. Arnica essence summons the forces of the Higher Self, while the Red Clover flower essence dispels the panic and hysteria that often accompanies emergency situations. Supporting these essences is Self-Heal, which works immediately to bring about a strong recuperative response in the etheric body.

Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris; Xia Ku Cao) Whole: 500 gm (1.17 lb): V Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris; Xia Ku Cao) Whole: 500 gm (1.17 lb): V

This is Plum Flower brand's nitrogen-flushed vacuum pack. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. Sulfur Free, Chlorine Free, Aluminum Phosphate Free. Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit. un-sulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval. Finally, batches are regularly sent out for quality control testing in third-party labs to double-ensure that Plum Flower products are 100% free of pharmaceuticals, preservatives and dyes. The Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Governments Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world. Varuna Fulfillment Center items are special ordered. These take an extra week to deliver.

Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris; Xia Ku Cao) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris; Xia Ku Cao) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V

This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. This extract is packed in Plum Flower Brand's nitrogen-flushed, safety-sealed dispenser bottle, a sample of which is pictured above. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. This is a pure herbal product with no additives. Extracted from sulfur-free and chlorine-free herbs for superior quality. Manufactured in a low-temperature water extraction process to preserve herb integrity. Extracted essential oils are replenished for proper potency. Strict quality control testing to ensure microbiological and heavy metal safety. Only powdered herb added to maintain purity (no artificial fillers such as lactose, cellulose or starch used). TLC (Thin-layer Chromatography) tested to guarantee product quality. Plum Flower takes great care to preserve delicate herbal oils, which are first evaporated using either a water or water-alcohol base in a process that never exceeds 100° centigrade. Sealed vacuum chargers precisely control the temperature, ensuring that none of the oils are lost. Cheaper, high-temperature methods are common industry practice, but these tend to burn off the vital oils. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present.
