Medicinal plants for healthy skin
Well-known representatives of herbal medicine realized early that the active ingredients in the flowers, bark, and leaves of certain plants could be extracted and used to produce natural medicine. The active ingredients in calendula, pansy, and witchhazel have proven especially valuable for the skin. That is why their ingredients are frequently used in medical or cosmetic skin care products. Calendula is one of the most important medicinal plants of all time. Calendula is said to have wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used in the treatment of skin inflammations or poorly healing wounds. A medicinal plant with a similar history, pansy has successfully been used to relieve various skin conditions such as cradle cap and eczema. It enjoys an excellent reputation as a remedy, particularly for the treatment of children’s skin. Hamamelis (witch hazel) also contains precious ingredients that support the skin’s natural healing process and naturally nourish and protect it.

The significance of the skin
The skin is the body’s largest organ and the most important sensory organ. With an area of 1.5 to 2.0 m² for adults and one-sixth of body weight (on average, 10 to 15 kg), it covers us from head to toe. The skin draws boundaries and invites contact at the same time. Approx. 2 billion cells enable it to fulfill a wide range of tasks. Its vast number of functions reflects the skin’s important to us and our body. It protects us against environmental hazards, heat, cold, UV radiation, pressure, impact and friction, chemical damage, and microorganisms. Our skin also regulates the body’s heat and fluid balance, supporting the metabolic process at the same time. When one of the functions is no longer adequately carried out, this often has something to do with another one of our body systems. After all, the skin has a close connection with the lungs, gut, and psyche. Accordingly, skin disorders often have multiple causes.
