Not one but two great new skincare options in Only Natural

Najel Aleppo Soap

Based on olive and bay tree oils Aleppo soap is traditionally made in Aleppo in Syria and in France where it’s hugely popular.

1. Key benefits: The primary property of Aleppo soap is to deeply moisturise the skin. Recommended by most dermatologists, thanks to its natural composition, Aleppo soap is suitable for all skin types, whether healthy or problematic. Aleppo soap can help relieve itching for those suffering from psoriasis, acne, and eczema because it will help hydrate the skin. The combination of olive oil and bay laurel oil will help your skin regain suppleness and softness, giving skin a more youthful look. It can also serve as an anti-dandruff shampoo, helping to moisturise the scalp to limit flaking. Placed on the face while allowing it to dry, it makes an excellent mask to minimise imperfections and rejuvenate tired complexions. Finally, Aleppo soap makes a perfect shaving foam because it facilitates the gliding of the razor and hydrates skin that has been subjected to razor burn.

2. Cost: Victim of its own success, Aleppo soap is experiencing a resurgence of counterfeits on the market. These soaps, much less natural than the real Aleppo soap, are generally no longer composed of olive oil and are less concentrated in bay laurel oil: often based on palm oil, they are recognizable by a more uniform color and do not float in water (unlike Aleppo soap). Don’t get caught out, make sure to always check the ingredients of the product you’re buying.For the real deal pop in and try the Najel range today in liquid and solid soaps, shampoos and shower gels.

Natural Remedies for the Sneezing Season

Don’t suffer this summer. If you’re looking for natural hay fever remedies these 4 have been found to be among the most effective.

1. Stinging Nettle. A common herb in natural medicine, stinging nettle, may also be a natural antihistamine. In one study, 58 percent of participants found their symptoms relieved with the use of freeze-dried nettles, and 69 participants rated it better than the placebo. Nettle is commonly used in tincture form.

2. Quercetin. Quercetin is an antioxidant found naturally in onions, apples, and other produce. Research has demonstrated the antihistamine effects of quercetin. One study found that it even lessened the respiratory side effects of allergies in rats by reducing inflammatory response in the airways. It’s commonly taken with supportive nutrients in tablet or capsule form.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]3. Bromelain. Bromelain is a compound most commonly found in pineapples, but you can also find it in supplement form. It’s said to be effective at treating respiratory distress and inflammation associated with allergies. One study suggests taking between 400 to 500 mg three times daily.

4. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an easy-to-find natural antihistamine. It’s prevalent in many fruits and vegetables, and also in supplement form.  Because it’s free of side effects and nontoxic, it’s a safe solution for treating stuffy nose and other unpleasant symptoms of seasonal allergies. Experts suggest taking at least 2 grams (g) per day for the best antihistamine results. Increase your intake with three to five citrus fruits a day.

Don’t suffer all summer, try one or more of these.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”13284″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_outline” border_color=”green”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
