This month, the plant portrait is Bryophyllum or Kalanchoe Daigrenmontiana found in some Dr. Hauschka products.
Learning and remembering product ingredients is not my strong suit. Therefore, this year I thought that I would introduce a new plant portrait each month, so together we can grow and learn:)
Natural substances have played an important role in skin care for thousands of years. However, there is no binding definition of the term “natural”. Consequently, learning how to read product labels can be really helpful.
What we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in our bodies. Dr. Hauschka’s holistic perspective incorporates natural substances that reflect life-sustaining rhythms in nature.
Bryophyllum (Kalanchoe) is a water-bearing plant that thrives in dry climates. In the traditional medicine of tropical countries, Bryophyllum juice is used internally for diarrhea and all kinds of fever. An ointment prepared from the expressed juice of the leaves mixed with oil or shea butter is used externally for the treatment of ulcers, abscesses, burns or poorly healing wounds. The ointment has hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing action. It was Rudolf Steiner who first introduced Bryophyllum in 1923 as a medicinal plant for hysteria.
