How did Linden Healing Arts body products come about?
As an acupuncturist who works with people struggling with serious health challenges, I was concerned that the ingredients in most products available today create more challenges for those already compromised in health.
I looked for natural versions of the most fundamental body products we use every day that I could suggest to patients. I quickly realized that most of them were ‘unnatural’ in some way, included toxic ingredients, or were ineffective. I wondered what people of the past used for these basic needs, which led me to the amazing body balm, and then to the others.
I’ve created and tested these products for over two years, and I’m thrilled with how effective and well-received they have become for my patients, friends and family, especially by those who were at first hesitant or skeptical. I’m delighted that I can now offer them to you too.
All of Linden Healing Arts body products are packed with care in glass jars with metal lids, so all of our packaging is non-toxic, gentle on the earth, and can be re-used and recycled.
Body Balm
This versatile balm is a pleasure to use and can be applied to almost any skin condition, such as dry, cracked, calloused or sun-damaged skin, cuticles, rashes, itching, burning, even wrinkles and weathered skin. It can be used as a nourishing facial lotion, preventative skin protection for face and hands in cold, windy weather, as a hand and cuticle lotion, to soften and protect your lips. It can be used to help soothe the itchiness and dryness or itching of rashes, and to help heal burns and scars. You will find many uses for it as it can be used for on both face and body. It penetrates easily and quickly and does not leave a greasy film.
The magic ingredient in this balm is tallow, which is sourced from 100% pasture raised cows. Tallow could be called the original lotion and skin cream, first used centuries ago. What makes grass fed tallow so wonderful is appreciable amounts of vitamins A, D, E and K, conjugated linoleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, and palmitoleic acid, which is anti-microbial.
Simply rub in well wherever it is needed. You don’t need much – a little goes a long way, so even a small jar lasts a long while. Nourishing balm for the whole family. It has also used on pets with great effect.
AVAILABLE SIZES:
1 oz – Perfect for purse or travel.
4 oz – Great for the family.
Tooth Powder
I searched high and low for a toothpaste or powder that would help me clean my teeth extremely well, make my teeth and gums feel great, taste good, and contain no harmful ingredients. I couldn’t find it, even with all the natural tooth products lining the store shelves, so I decided to create my own.
This tooth powder has become quite popular! It is a powerful, yet gentle formula for cleaning and whitening the teeth and caring for the gums. It has a mild, refreshing cinnamon and nutmeg scent and taste.
Both cinnamon and clove are herbs in the Chinese herbal repertoire, and are also known in western herbalism to help with oral tooth and gum health. Components of cinnamon can help freshen breath and keep teeth and gums healthy by encouraging good circulation to the mouth and gums. Clove is well known to reduce tooth pain and helps support a healthy oral microbiome.
Other ingredients provide minerals for strong teeth, mild polishing and whitening effect, and toxin binding and removal.
This tooth powder is mint-free, so will not interfere with homeopathic medicines.
AVAILABLE SIZES:
1 oz – A little goes a long way! Lasts up to 2 months, perfect for travel.
4 oz – Great for the family.
Deodorant
This deodorant is effective and lasts all day, controlling odor even in the hottest weather, and for long duration activities. It allows your underarm pores to remain open and healthy, allowing you to sweat when needed, yet performs like a champ at not allowing any odor! It does not contain any aluminum. It absorbs quickly and will not stain clothing. The organic essential oils help control odor and provide a subtle scent that both men and women appreciate. Only a small amount is needed so there is no need to over-apply.
You may be thinking, deodorant? What’s to get excited about? This one works so well that it has become one of the products I’m most enthusiastic about, and is one of my favorite products in this collection.
AVAILABLE SIZES:
2 or 4 oz
Body Butter
Linden Healing Arts body butter is a decadent blend of three luscious, organic, unrefined butters and jojoba oil blended for incredible softness. It spreads easily for use as a whole body lotion or for after sun care, and has an incredible cocoa butter scent without any added perfume ingredients. This is the one product in my body care line that is not fundamental to every day self care, such as tooth powder or deodorant. It’s simply divine to use and is a fabulous body lotion.
AVAILABLE SIZES:
2 or 4 oz
