I have been making all natural cold process soaps to be free from all chemicals that the commercial soaps have. Also I’ve noticed many of my family and friends are suffering from skin problems like eczema, psoriasis and acne so I was looking into what natural ingredients I can put into my soaps to help relieve some of these issues. I know that many Chinese herbalists prescribed herbs to their patients to make soups, teas, ointments, balms or salves to improve their internal & external health, and then I thought to myself “Why not put those herbs into soaps?
