Aloe Vera Gel has softening, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its moisturizing ability is its most widely recognized characteristic. Aloe vera penetrates the skin, supplying moisture directly to the tissue.

Evening Primrose (oenothera biennis) oil, one of natures richest source of gamma linolic acid (GLA) and is very important for the integrity of the dermal cells. GLA is known to help prevent hardening of the arteries and PMS symptoms.

Grape seed extract. (Actvin) One of the most powerful anti oxidant agents known. Also included because of its natural preservative characteristics.

When these disorders are treated naturally, we attempt to substitute a combination of the herbs Cactus Grandiflorus and Crataegus Oxyeantha in place of digitalis. The cactus-crataegus combination is the sovereign heart remedy of the natural physician. It isn't as strong or as rapid as digitalis and won't help in emergencies, but used by itself in mild muscular weaknesses it will do all that digitalis does without the cumulative effect or toxic side effects. Also, cactus crataegus may be used for an extended period without fear of any possible difficulties. In fact, this combination seems to overcome certain organic difficulties with continued and regular use.

In severe cases of heart muscle weakness in which digitalis and/or diuretics are being used, cactus crataegus can also be used. Even in these cases, considerable improvement is usually experienced when cactus-crataegus is used in addition to the orthodox therapy. I have never experienced any conflicts from these remedies used together.
