Body Wash Trifecta

We have three great new products in our store this week. Leap Organics brings us three body washes, each harnessing a unique ingredient to give your skin a different feel. The products are USDA organic and utilize 100% recycled materials for its packaging. They use organic coconut, olive, and jojoba oils that are proven to give your skin a clean rinse while leaving it soft and smooth. Coconut oil is great for your skin as it is an effective moisturizer and prevents flaking and dry skin. It also helps in treating various skin problems like eczema and psoriasis. Olive oil also has a lot of benefits for your skin including anti-inflammatory properties as well as anti-aging and anti-wrinkle. It can also be used to exfoliate your skin as well as moisturizing it. Jojoba oil is also a great moisturizer as well as being used in many acne treatments and for skin infections. These three great base ingredients team up with a different ingredient for each body wash to give your skin a plethora of options:

Eucalyptus Body Wash

Eucalyptus Body Wash: Eucalyptus serves as not only being a great aroma for any shower or bath but also for giving your skin numerous benefits. It is effective in treating a number of respiratory problems like colds, coughs, and nasal congestion. Its germicidal properties make it great for applying to wounds, burns, cuts, as well as insect bites and stings. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it perfect for muscle pain. The ingredient has been known to reduce body temperature and therefore can help with fevers. The many health benefits of eucalyptus make it great for infusing into a body wash. This organic product can not only give your body a great wash, but it will leave you refreshed and healthy.

Lavender Body Wash

Lavender Body Wash: Lavender oil is another ingredient used in our new products this week. Its natural scent is very calming and is helpful in treating migraines, headaches, anxiety, and releases nerves while stimulating mental activity. Applying lavender to your skin is great for sore joints, muscle aches, and sprains. Like Eucalyptus, Lavender can also be used to treat respiratory problems such as sinus congestion, asthma, bronchitis, and the flu. It is also great for improving blood circulation and for lowering blood pressure. It also contains anti-septic and anti-fungal properties which make it great for skin care. And regular use of lavender can provide resistance to may diseases. Another great product used for body washes, lavender will also give your skin a great feeling as well as benefits down the road. This product is sure to give you a great shower or bath experience and get you ready for either a great night sleep or to take on your day, depending on the time of you day you cleanse your body.

Lemongrass Body Wash: Lemongrass is the third different product used in the new body washes in the store. It too can be used to release nerves and has been known to be an anti-depressant. The ingredient is also good for relieving muscle tension and can reduce pain and inflammation. It inhibits bacterial infections and can be used as an anti-septic for treating wounds and cuts. One of it more popular uses is as a sedative. It has wonderful soothing and calming effects and can relieve tension and itching fo the skin.

Arnica Oil

Arnica belongs to the sunflower family

Arnica Oil is the ingredient of the week. The main purpose for the oil is on arthritis pain or inflammation, sore or painful joints, bruised tissue, sprains, sore muscles, and swelling. Arnica stimulates blood circulation as well as white blood cell activity, making it perfect to be included in many different ointments.

There are many uses for products with arnica oil, and every one of them benefits your body in the long run. Ice and rest are key for your muscles and joints, but soothing your sore areas with arnica will help heal faster and more naturally. It is extremely helpful to apply ointment on your body right before bed, so that during your sleep cycle your muscles and joints are recuperating with help from arnica's healing properties. Sleep is a vital element to healing, but arnica is sleep's right hand man.

Here is an info-graphic regarding sleep and recovery. As you can see tissue growth and repair happens only in the 5th stage of sleep, the "Very Deep Sleep" stage. To take advantage of that short period of time, arnica is able to help with the repair and growth part of recovery, and have you feeling refreshed and energetic in the morning. After a nice workout be sure to eat a hearty meal with lots of protein, but don't forget to apply arnica to those aching muscles.
