  What man or woman doesn't love the spa treatment? Admit it. We all love being pampered. Feeling naturally beautiful is pleasurable to the senses. Quality herbal ingredients can also help nourish and relax the mind and spirit. We can enjoy this special therapy right in the privacy of our own home with  Lustrous Henna® Face Pack and Body Mask.

Two herbal ingredients that can nourish and heal the skin are Tulsi and Sweet Indrajao.These flowering plants have been used topically and medicinally for centuries in Ayurveda.   

Tulsi 

The botanical name for Tulsi is: Ocimum tenuiflorum (in the Lamiaceae family). It is a small flowering plant with a strong aroma. There three main types of tulsi cultivated in India. The green-leaved variety (Sri or Lakshmi tulsi, a purple-leaved variety (Krishna tulsi) and Karpoora Tulsi.  

In ayurvedic medicine the essential oil from Karpoora Tulsi is used medicinally, in skin preparations due to it’s anti-bacterial activity. It’s also used in herbal cosmetics.  It is also believed to be a sort of  ‘elixir of life’, promoting longevity.  

Sweet Indrajao  

The botanical name for Indrajao (also spelled: Indrajau) is Holarrhena pubescens  (in the Apocynaceae or Oleander family).  Much larger than Tulsi, Indrajao is a deciduous shrub or small tree that can grow up to 10 ft. high.  The stem is short with several branches. The flowers are white and are quite beautiful each with five oblong petals that turn a creamy yellow as they mature.  

The bark is used externally in ayurvedic medicine to heal skin problems. The herb is also used due to the belief that it can help relieve arthritis pain.

Tulsi and Indrajao are just two of the fine herbal ingredients that make Lustrous Henna® Face Pack and Body Mask  so unique. Please read the preceding article to learn more about this fantastic herbal skin treatment.

Testimonial about Lustrous Henna®  for Hair:

Thank you for ths excellent product.  I have been using henna for years, as I have a severe allergy to hair dye.  I have never had such good coverage and had the color last for so long.  Because the texture of the henna is creamier, it is easier to use and less messy.  I get complimented on my hair color frequently.
Thanks again,
Debra F. Bush, NY
