Ingredients

The Self-Heal Creme is based on the remarkable properties of the Self-Heal herb (Prunella vulgaris). A truly universal plant which can be found growing wild in many parts of the world, it belongs to the Mint family. Every member of this plant family exhibits medicinal, culinary, or aromatic qualities, and it includes such plants as the mints, basil, rosemary, thyme, and lavender. Prunella has been used for centuries as an external application for skin care, as well as an internal tonic in convalescence. It became so renowned for its healing abilities that it was called “Self-Heal” and “Heal-All” by medieval herbalists, and the “Heart of the Earth” in early American herbals.

Self-Heal flower essence is one of the most basic in flower essence therapy. It awakens the confidence and inner vital forces necessary for healing on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. Practitioners report Self-Heal flower essence as supporting many different combinations of essences, helping to positively engage the individual in his or her own recuperative process. Self-Heal essence is also used alone in beginning stages of therapeutic work, for it helps individuals come to terms with inner conflicts about being well, and to become more aware of any attitudes that may be life-denying rather than life-affirming.

Because of Self-Heal’s vigorous health-enhancing properties, many have reported using the flower essence topically in a variety of ways with excellent results. We therefore formulated a Self-Heal Creme, made in a natural hypoallergenic base, specially potentized with Self-Heal flower essence and the Self-Heal fresh plant tincture. This creme can be used in a wide variety of circumstances — on wounds, cuts, rashes, sprains, and other injuries. Moreover, the Self-Heal Creme has been found highly effective for general skin care use. We have received a wide variety of reports from lay persons and practitioners alike who use the creme as a facial skin moistener, as a hand creme, or as a general body creme, and even for infant care. The Self-Heal Creme has such basic therapeutic and regenerative qualities that it can be used by young and old, in clinical situations and in home care. The creme has rapidly become one of our most popular items, and is in demand in many countries throughout the world.

Mixing with Flower Essences

Self-Heal Creme has a universal quality that makes it an excellent matrix for many different flower essence combinations. The wide-mouth glass jar of Self-Heal Creme conveniently supports custom preparations, tailored to your needs.  

We suggest no more than three to four essences in an individualized combination. Be sure to label your jar, as you may want to create several different mixtures. We recommend using 20 drops of flower essence stock per 50 g / 1.7 oz jar of creme (100 drops for the 240 g / 8.5 oz size). It is ideal to stir the mixture with a wooden stick for at least three minutes, alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise motions, and ending with a clockwise motion.

Some suggested combinations

Please note: None of the combinations suggested below are meant to replace qualified treatment of diagnosed medical illness. Flower essences work on a more subtle level, helping to resolve issues within the mental-emotional realm which may also affect the physical body. Although the flower essences are commonly taken internally, they can also be applied topically and absorbed through the skin. Topical application seems to be most effective in those cases where there is a clear mind-body component.

Emergency Situations and All-Purpose Health Care: Add Arnica, Red Clover, and the Healing Herbs Five-Flower Formula to Self-Heal Creme for a highly potent first-aid remedy. Arnica essence summons the forces of the Higher Self, while the Red Clover flower essence dispels the panic and hysteria that often accompanies emergency situations. Supporting these essences is Self-Heal, which works immediately to bring about a strong recuperative response in the etheric body. You may want to make a batch of this creme for your first-aid kit, and a liquid dosage bottle of the same combination, giving you both internal and external emergency aid.  

Sore Joints, Muscle Tension and Cramps: In addition to a good massage with an appropriate oil, you can lightly apply Self-Heal Creme to affected areas. Add Dandelion essence to disperse contracted, overly tense muscles, and Cayenne to bring catalytic warmth to such areas, helping to move "stuck" energy through the body. Add Chamomile essence and Mugwort Flower Oil to this combination for menstrual cramps, and rub over the uterine area.

Using Self-Heal Creme with Essential Oils

Aromatherapists are reporting extraordinary results by mixing the Self-Heal Creme with essential oils. The natural ingredients and neutral aroma of this creme make it an ideal base for creating custom aromatherapeutic applications. The following are a few outstanding uses reported by practitioners. (Amounts given are for the 50 g / 1.7 oz jar of Self-Heal Creme - please extend or modify for more or less creme.) 

Heart Balm: Blend 4-5 drops of pure Rose oil or 12 drops of Rose Oil Blend, and 4 drops of California Wild Rose and Borage flower essences. Apply nightly to the heart area with gentle massage motions. It helps to open the heart, to ease restriction, pain or grief felt within the heart.  

Emotional Release: Blend approximately 8 drops of Chamomile essential oil, 6 drops of Yarrow essential oil and several drops of Orange oil, with about 1/3 ounce of St. John's Wort oil. Massage into the stomach and solar plexus areas nightly with "figure eight" massage strokes. This helps to release excessive emotions stored in the stomach and solar plexus and can be helpful for digestive disturbances also.

I was hammering a nail and hit my thumb. Ouch! I immediately put cold water on it, then the Self-Heal Creme and held the hand over my head for 10 minutes. My thumb didn’t even bruise and was hardly even sore!

A few days later, I burned three of my fingers on the stove top. Again, I repeated the same treatment, and an hour later, the pain was gone. I think that Self-Heal Creme is great!

Self-Heal Creme has been flying off the shelf since our last workshop. We offer an acupressure facial, and the practitioner has been using the Self-Heal Creme in this process. She has used other cremes before and thinks this works really well. After receiving the facial with Self-Heal Creme, my face and lips had such a warm glow – it looked like I’d already put on make-up but I didn’t have any on.

FES Self-Heal Creme basically cured my skin rash from oak [leaf gall] mite bites; the mites have swarmed the Chicago area in the last few weeks. For two weeks my skin has been itching intensely with lots of pain, too, from these mites. The local news reported that emergency rooms and doctors’ offices are swamped with people with these bites and some stores have even run out of hydrocortisone cream.

I tried everything including prescription hydrocortisone, Benadryl cream, antifungals (in case I had a fungus growing), Tea Tree oil, and even Gentian Violet. Nothing worked at all. At a store, I used a sample of the Self-Heal Creme on my painful itchy bite, which was about 2" in diameter. After a moment, the rash basically disappeared. It blanched clear and although the rash came back, there was no pain. I continued to use the crème, and within 24 hours, the rash was almost gone. Conventional medicines could not do for me what Self-Heal Creme could. It is really amazing; thank you FES!

I just wanted to thank you so much for this wonderful
product. My son suffers from terrible eczema and your
Self-Heal Creme has worked wonders. My thirteen
year old has recently been experiencing debilitating
eczema on his hands; they were so cracked and swollen and painful. We had been prescribed a new, popular (and incredibly expensive!) prescription creme that helped only minimally. I was given your Self-Heal from a mom to add to my Pre-School's “boo boo basket,” and I decided to try it on my son's hands. After just a couple of days (2 applications per day) his hands are so much better. I am astounded and so pleased! We just ordered another jar today!
Thank you so very much, from a grateful mom!

I suffer with two herniated discs in the thoracic area of my back (upper back). I've had seven surgeries since 2001, and have used every kind of anti-inflammatory medication, injection, pain block, etc. When I overuse my upper back, my scapula (shoulder blade) becomes swollen and irritated, following which I develop “knots” in the associated muscles. Once the muscular knots set in, I generally get violent headaches. I hate to admit it, but I do have to keep a bottle of prescription pain pills on hand to nab the headache as soon as it starts or else I am incapacitated. Soon after receiving the FES products for my new store, I had a pain episode. When I reached for my pain pills, there were none. I figured, Columbus had to take a chance and try something new, so I reached for a jar of Self-Heal Creme. I rubbed it on my swollen scapula and in less than one minute, the pain was gone. It was amazing!

Also, my black Labrador retriever has had problems with a recurrent skin rash, which has required visits to the veterinarian, medication and/or injections. This last time, I tried the Self-Heal Creme on his skin and the rash dissipated. It's terrific! Being new to the health products retailing field, I am only now beginning to establish trust with my clientele - having first hand experiences like these with your products makes it so much easier for me to make the sale and establish that trusting relationship with my customers.

"Whenever an external application of a flower essence blend is indicated, Self-Heal Skin Creme is always used as the base. The basic makeup of the creme and its texture make it an ideal medium when addressing skin conditions."  

— Dr. Doris Clarke, Rapid City, South Dakota

“Self-Heal Crème is the best skin care product on the market!

I was working in the store one day when a man came in looking for a product to use on his face. He was approximately 50 years old and had very curly hair that caused each of his beard hairs to become ingrown. This condition covered all the areas of his face where hair would grow. He was completely miserable; his face was puffed up, it was sore, and he could not even touch or wash his face. It was the type of skin condition that a dermatologist would typically treat with cortisone or some type of steroid. I sent the man went home with a 10 oz jar of creme with instructions to use it 2 to 3 times a day.

About 4 to 6 weeks later, a man approached me in the store. I just glanced at him and he said, 'You don't remember me, do you?' Then he stuck his chin toward me and I recognized him as the man who'd had the terrible skin condition due to ingrown hairs. His face had completely healed up! He had done nothing but use the Self-Heal Creme. Needless to say, he was back to buy another jar of creme.”

"Here's a testimonial for you — your new Self Heal Creme really works wonders. I have a skin condition that has been called 'pre-cancerous' by the doctors I've seen. For over 20 years I have been taking a steroid-based cream recommended by the doctors, with little result. My brother lent me some of your new creme and it was just magical. It has softened my skin, and eliminated the redness and soreness."

— Michael Madigan, Berkeley CA

"I am a huge fan of the Self-Heal Cream. People love it. I may have them put a few drops of an essence in the cream and use it that way. Anytime there is a need for skin improvement with an energy disturbance I always use the Self-Heal Cream. The arthritis clients I work on find it extremely helpful."

— Paul Wyman, massage therapist, Denver, CO

"In about one month of using the creme the disturbed child I was treating no longer had eczema. The Self-Heal Creme had nourished and healed his soul - the soul that was expressed on the surface of the skin.

— Dr. Michael Weinraub, Seattle, Washington

"After trying practically all cremes and moisturizing lotions at health food stores I was still not satisfied.... Finally, thanks to your creme, my skin feels soft and moist, but without that oily look."

— M.L., Brooklyn, New York

"The new formulation of the Self-Heal Creme has been just short of miraculous in terms of the benefit to my skin. Immediately soothing, the improvement in my skin overnight was also almost startling. Now five days after I first started using it, one would hardly know there had been pretty nasty rashes covering almost my entire left and right arms just one week ago."

A healing story...

Luci D., a mother in her late 40’s, is using Seasons of the Soul oils after a third lumpectomy. They have helped her skin tissue heal remarkably well. She writes, “the first two lumpectomy incisions (2/00, right & 10/00, left-benign) are barely visible, and the last two (8/17/01, left- benign) are remarkable compared to just 10 days ago. I received 6.5 weeks of radiation after the first surgery. The surgeon, 6 months later, could find no radiated tissue symptoms (hard tissue, discoloration, etc.). He questioned that I had even received any radiation.” Luci hopes many other women will be able to benefit from these “wonderful products” as well. “Your oils and flower essences were, and continue to be, a large part of my return to health. Thank you.”

The SOS oils that Luci used are Dandelion Dynamo, St. John’s Shield and Calendula Caress. “Each morning I would hold them up to the light and ask for divine guidance as to what I should use,” Luci said. “Whichever I chose would be massaged 2-3 times a day. I also applied hot castor oil packs.” Luci applied the oil massages to the areas where there had been surgery as well as to joints and tired muscles. Before each of her surgeries, Luci said she took Self-Heal flower essence and Yarrow Special Formula with her into the treatment room and applied the essences to her pulse points, or would put the drops in a glass of water, and sip it.

After the surgeries, she took the essences under her tongue from the stock bottle. Luci also has used other essences throughout her treatment periods-Star of Bethlehem, Five-Flower Formula, Pretty Face, Blackberry, and Violet among them. Luci chooses essences by consulting with a local massage therapist (a friend) she knows, by her own intuition, and by reading the Flower Essence Repertory.

Luci said she also took the homeopathic “Detox Formula” during this same time period. “I took essences and used your oils all through my radiation,” she explained. “Your Self-Heal Creme, too. Your products are just the best. As I explained in my first report to you, the surgeon who examined me 6 months later doubted I ever had any radiation treatments at all because my blood count was ‘too normal’ and there were no other symptoms. He checked my file and saw that I did, truly, undergo radiation, and he was baffled. I tried to explain to him about the oils and the essences, and the other natural alternatives I had been taking, but frankly, he didn’t want to hear about it.”

Luci never combines products, however. For example, she doesn't put essences and oils into Self-Heal Creme and apply it topically. She said she prefers using the products one at a time, making it part of a personal healing ritual; recognizing the special blessing involved in each component part of her healing treatments.

Carolyn Franklin works as a massage therapist, part-time out of her home and part-time at the Body Therapy Center in Palo Alto, California. In early September (2001), Carolyn worked with a 29-year old woman who had just undergone radiation treatment for cancer of the salivary glands.

"The woman's face and jaw 'had been burned to a crisp' by the radiation. Her facial skin was all seared and dry, like a very bad sunburn, and she couldn't move her jaw,” Carolyn said. “I raced back home and grabbed a jar of Self-Heal Creme and a bottle of Yarrow Special Formula (YSF), and some brochures. I had her take the YSF internally. I showed her how to gently massage the Self-Heal Creme onto her face.

"After 2 days there was a noticeable improvement. The dry skin was gently flaking off and she could move her jaw enough to take in liquids—a good thing as this woman is thin and needs her nourishment. The skin was looking much less red. Feelings of nausea were not as prevalent.”
