a mile from us produces kosher oils & organic lavender oil propogated
from an original english lavender and the dill, spearmint, parsely &
peppermint mitcham are all produced using minimal amounts of
herbicides. We also source Hampshire grown and distilled chamomile
roman (english) which we believe is superior in aroma to the norfolk
grown english chamomile. This chamomile mixed blended with either
coconut oil or our lotion base makes an excellent eczema blend - it
halts the scratch itch cycle which is caused by the bacteria. As
chamomile is both bactericidal and soothing it helps to calm the skin.
