Minimizes Stretch Marks Eases Itching Plants & Herbs Calendula | Calendula officinalis Calendula flowers are one of the best all-purpose skin healing herbs and are in most of Motherlove's body care products, including Motherlove Nipple Cream. Calendula softens skin, heals cuts, abscesses, rashes, boils, chapped skin, and eczema. It relieves muscle cramps, painful swellings, hemorrhoids, and the itch of insect bites. Calendula is an easily planted annual with orange and yellow flowers and alternate leaves. The unusual curlicue seedpods easily reseed themselves. The orange and yellow petals of this edible flower are a colorful addition to salads. As a wash on wounds, it can stop bleeding. It can be used in a footbath on swollen feet and eyewash on sore, tired eyes. Chamomile | Matricaria chamomilla Chamomile flowers are in Motherlove's Pregnant Belly Oil and Pregnant Belly Salve to soften skin, allowing it to stretch, as well as to relieve the itch of a growing belly. German chamomile is a highly aromatic herb with finely cut leaves and small, many-rayed white flowers with yellow centers that bloom daily throughout its growing season. Though it is an annual, any fallen flower reseeds itself easily after the first planting. Chamomile flowers are an excellent, gentle herb to drink for its calming effect on children and adults. Drink the tea in the evening to relax and bring on sleep. It also relieves indigestion, gas, and diarrhea. Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties for use on sprains, strains, and sore muscles. Use on sores, rashes, scaly skin, sunburn, and windburn, to soften skin, relieve itching and reduce wrinkles. A chamomile tea hair rinse will bring out blond highlights. Lavender | Lavandula officinalis Lavender flowers are in the Pregnant Belly Oil and Pregnant Belly Salve, and the only herb in birth & baby oil for its gentle skin soothing properties, the ability to prevent scarring, and its lovely scent. Lavender is a perennial that grows up to two feet tall with many branches of gray-green linear leaves. The very aromatic purple flowers, which grow on terminal spikes, are gathered just before opening. Lavender is widely used in cosmetics and aromatherapy for its scent and healing properties. It is in baths, sachets and sleep pillows to relieve headaches, depression, and exhaustion; and promote relaxation and sleep. Its antiseptic qualities make it great for face washes, steams, and toners. And in creams and oils it relieves aches and pains. Marshmallow | Althaea officinalis Marshmallow root is a very emollient herb, which is why we use it in the Pregnant Belly Oil, Pregnant Belly Salve, Nipple Cream, and Green Salve. Its skin softening effect allows a pregnant belly to grow without stretch marks and quickly soothes cracked nursing nipples and chapped skin. Marshmallow grows 1-3 feet tall in moist locations. The alternate, slightly serrated leaves feel soft when rubbed. Small pale flowers bloom in the leaf axils. The young leaves can be eaten raw or slightly cooked; it makes an excellent soup thickener. The roots can be used as a meringue substitute when covered with water and boiled until reduced by half, cooled, and beaten to a froth. The demulcent tea is soothing to mucus membranes, swollen glands, and irritations of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract. Because mallow is so emollient, it soothes skin irritations, rashes, boils, stings, and runny sores. Rose | Rosa Rose hip seed oil helps
