Neem and Jackass Bitters Soap.

Munchkin.with.UmbrellaHello Everyone!!  We have been making soap…yes, it is raining again so we have decided to do a soap marathon.  The Neem soap is back by popular demand and this time we have added jackass bitters to the formula.  The neem leaves are dried in the shade and then infused in coconut oil which is used in the making of the soap.

Neem is known for its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-helminthic and anti-viral properties.  In Aryuvedic medicine, neem has been used to treat skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.

The jackass bitters plant is a well-known herb of Belize which is used in treating ulcers and cold-sores.

A perfect combination for a gentle soap with soothing properties for problem skin.  It is also a wonderful “everyday” anti-bacterial coconut oil soap. We will put it in The Apothecary once the soaps are cured and ready!  Here are some pictures to entice you.
