Natural, organic skin care remedies can replace most of the cosmetic and pharmaceuticals skin care products we buy and do a better job of protecting and healing skin. The skin is the largest organ of the

body. It is the first line of defense, and is responsible for elimination of fully one quarter of the body's toxins. Conditions such as eczema , psoriasis, and acne reflect imbalance in the body as a whole.Rashes

from poison ivy,sunburns, burns, cuts, flea and insect bites, and just about any skin problem caused by external agents can benefit from many of these herbal treatments as well.
