Healthwise Clinic Natural Health Blog

I saw a poster on the tube the other day with a smiling child with red “apple” cheeks.  In the ad the child was meant to be a picture of health, but the cheeks looked red and angry and in fact not healthy at all.

I can’t now remember what the ad was for and it may have been retro fact-to-the-50′s.  In those days children’s books were full of pictures of happy children with smiling faces and bright red cheeks (think Mabel Lucie Attwell among others).  Red skin like this needs cooling and probably moisturing .. it needs healthwise Clinic’s Purple Balm!

Our Purple Balm is 100% natural and 90% organic.  All skin is precious – and of course a child’s skin is even more so – and it is important to only put the best products on it: no chemical nonsense with side effects.  Based on sesame oil and beeswax which nourish the skin, purple balm includes cooling herbs like indigo root, bletilla root and groomwell root which cool and calm the skin.  A small child’s red face may not look unhealthy, but it needs calming and moisturing especially in the winter.  urple balm can help any skin suffering from redness including roseacea and acne.
