Our New Handmade Natural Medicinal Soaps and Crystal Point Wands http://www.etsy.com/shop/leighswiccanboutique

My dear friend Azzrian Visions http://www.azzrianvisions.blogspot.com/, and I have been working on a few new great products for you to check out and enjoy.
Azzrian has currently completed one brand of her Natural Medicinal Carrot Seed, and Tea Tree Soap in a regular Soap Base formula, which has been listed in Leigh's Wiccan Boutique On Etsy.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/51359804/natural-medicinal-carrot-seed-and-tea

I have to say I really love this soap, and my husband has even taken a liking to it as well.
She is also currently working on several other soap blends, and smudge sticks which I hope to be listing soon for you.

Azzrian has showed, and taught me the technique in soap making.

I as well have now made my own handmade Natural Medicinal Soaps. I have a couple different variety's that are made with a all natural shaving formula infused with goats milk soap which are now listed in my etsy shop.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/leighswiccanboutique?section_id=7183615
I have given away many full bars of soap that I made to family, and friends so I could get their feedback on what they thought.
They all loved it! My mom took a few extra bars to spoil herself with.

I also keep a sample bar of each soap I make, plus I sample Azzrians so I can personally test them and reflect in my listings how well they really do work.

Are you wondering yet which bar out of our creations I like best?
Well there is actually 2 and I cant choose between them.
I like Azzrian Visions Natural Medicinal Carrot Seed, and Tea Tree soap for general hand washing as it is great for repeated, and frequent use. I also like to use it on my face. I have always been one with really oil skin. I have noticed when I use this soap my face oils are controlled. I love the fact that lately my face just hasn't been as oily as it normally is. Plus it dont dry out my skin either which is a big plus in my book.

My other all time favorite to use is my own creation which is the Natural Medicinal Rose Geranium and Rosemary Goats milk shaving soap.
My skin is truly soft, and silky. The natural oils, goats milk, and shaving mixture truly hydrates the skin. The smell from the natural oils is not over powering but stays on your skin. I came out the tub smelling like roses. It is also a great soap to sud up with, and shave all areas of the body. I used it to shave my legs, and underarms the oils absorb into the skin leaving it razor burn free, and enables for a smooth shaving.
I also rubbed it on me right after I shaved for a little extra conditioning to. You wont experience any burning, or razor burn doing this either, because its natural and the oils are good for your skin.

Of course all of the shaving soaps infused with goats milk work just as well I just happen to like the scent of this one the best.

I have also been working on another project as well in between local custom orders, and soap making.
Yes I have been very busy lately.
My newest creation is a bamboo crystal point wand which has been adorned and wrapped with gems going from light to dark. I am hoping to have this listed sometime this week.
With the wand you can either preform your own consecration ritual, or for beginners Azzrian Visions, and I will be offering several different services which will be listed as well with the wands created in the same section.
More info will be posted regarding this new item, and services available soon.

Natural Medicinal Chamomile Cistus and by leighswiccanboutique

Natural Medicinal Chamomile Cistus and by leighswiccanboutique

My sister and I made this Natural Medicinal Shaving Soap together.
I want to give thanks to my good friend Azzrian Visions for teaching me how to make wonderful Medicinal Handmade soaps.

This soap contains All Natural German Chamomile Oil, Cistus Oil, and Rose Otto Oil. Its great for people who has Sensitive Skin, and is in need of some moisture.
It is also good for people with the following conditions: acne, allergies, boils, burns, cuts, eczema, dermatitis, problems of the scalp, rashes, insect bites, infected wounds, skin impurities and more.

The scent of this soap itself reminds me of Lemon Grass, but it leaves behind a normal soap scent to the skin.

No Color has been added to this great medicinal skin soap.
It will leave your skin feeling soft, silky, and moisturized NOT DRY!
I make sure to save a bar for myself to test it out first.
When I bathed with this soap my skin was so soft. It produces a lot of lather! It lathers up just like your store bought Liquid Body wash.

The Shaving Soap Base Contains no detergents, no surfactants, no sulfates, no alcohol, and no sugar solutions. It works Great for shaving, and wonderful for those who like to lather up!

German Chamomile: This has a high level of natural matricin. It is a very strong anti-inflammatory.
German 'Blue' Chamomile Essential Oil has that "deep water’ cooling and enveloping influence which soothes and relieves.
This chamomile has a wide range of healing properties, which are hard to find in comparable strength in any other oils.
This particular oil is of a high alpha-bisabolol chemotype.
It is a great help to the skin because of the anti-inflammatory properties.
The list is extensive: skin inflammations, acne, allergies, boils, burns, cuts, eczema, dermatitis, problems of the scalp, rashes, insect bites, infected wounds, skin impurities sunburn, abscess, allergies, hives and more.

Cistus: is a small, sticky shrub native to the Mediterranean and Middle East. The essential oil is produced by steam distillation of the leaves. It is pale yellow-orange with a strong, sweet, dry-herbaceous aroma. Its odor effect is generally perceived as warming and restorative. Cistus oil is used in many skin care blends. Blend with German Chamomile to treat chronic slow healing skin disorders like psoriasis, eczema, infected and inflamed skin conditions of all sorts. It is excellent for mature skin care for firming and toning.
Traditionally has been used as a skin rejuvenator, treating infected wounds, skin ulcers, bronchitis, coughs, colds and1 flu, as a fumigant when infectious illness is around, as an ambient aroma to facilitate meditation. May be helpful during convalescence or when suffering from nervous exhaustion.

Rose Otto: Rose essential oil, or Rose Otto: Steam distilled essential oil of rose petals is a great luxury. Otto is the term used to differentiate the steam distilled variety from the 'Absolute'. It is from the Bulgarian 'damask' Rose, cultivated since the 16th century, which is considered to produce the finest quality essence. Because Roses are such a wonderful part of the Bulgarian culture, the government actually gets involved to ensure purity of Rose essential oils!
Some consider that even fractions of a percent can do wonders. This is the oil of love, that has many psychological and physiological applications.
There is perhaps no better essential oil for women and men than Rose oil for use in treating conditions of the reproductive system. It is highly valued in formulas for mature, dry and sensitive skin, and its tonic action on the heart appears to help relieve cardiac congestion, improve sluggish circulation, and tone the capillaries.
Rose makes a great skin oil for all skin types, and especially for dry, sensitive, or aging skin. Rose otto is also considered strongly anti-viral due to its high citronellol content (similar to Melissa), and has been used successfully to treat herpes legions.
The scent is sweet, rich, and floral - exclusive to the extract of history's most revered flower. Though the rose is renown for its fragrance, the flower actually contains very little aromatic oil by weight. Some 60,000 roses are needed to distill a single ounce of oil, or about 60 roses PER DROP, a fact which brings the seemly high cost of rose oil into perspective.

Natural Medicinal Lavender and Ylang Ylang by leighswiccanboutique

Natural Medicinal Lavender and Ylang Ylang by leighswiccanboutique

My 10 year old Son and I made this Lovely scented Natural Medicinal Goats Milk Shaving Soap together.
I want to give thanks to my good friend Azzrian Visions for teaching me how to make wonderful Medicinal Handmade soaps.

I currently have 2 different types of this soap One that is only the Goats Milk Soap which is Pink, and White. There is only 2 bars of this left as my family loved it and snagged it up.
The other one is the Shaving Soap Infused with Goats Milk, which is Blue, and Pink. There is a total of 6 bars of this.

Please indicate which one you would prefer at time of purchase.

This soap contains All Natural Lavender oil & Ylang Ylang Oil.
It balance's the oil in your skin, and helps Tissue Regeneration.

It will leave your skin feeling soft and silky NOT DRY!
When I bathed with this soap my skin was so soft, and had a unique lovely floral scent. It produces a lot of lather! It lathers up just like your store bought Liquid Body wash.

It is colored with food coloring to keep it all natural. Color does not come off on the skin as there is not much color added just enough to give it a unique look.

The Shaving Soap Base Contains no detergents, no surfactants, no sulfates, no alcohol, and no sugar solutions. Great for shaving with or for those who like to lather up!
It is infused with Goats milk soap made with liquid Vitamin D Goat's Milk. Goat's milk is known for it's delicate moisturizing properties for dry or problem skin. These moisturizing properties soften and nourish the skin.

Lavender Oil, High Elevation: High Alpine Lavender essential oil, produced from flowers naturally grown in the mountain regions of France, is considered the most exquisite of this variety.
Lavender is one of the few oils still listed in the British Pharmacopoeia; it is highly regarded for it's ability to promote tissue regeneration and speed wound healing in some cases. This oil truly began the modern essential oil revolution. It was in the middle of the last century that the term 'Aromatherapy' was coined by French cosmetic chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse.
Dr. Gattefosse discovered the healing properties of Lavender when, after burning his hands in a laboratory accident, he submersed them in the flower's essential oil. His amazingly speedy recovery prompted him to write his book 'Aromatherapy' in 1937.
Lavender has a very healing effect on skin as well; it seems the same soothing it brings to the mind and emotions also happens to the skin.
Lavender essential oil is also highly regarded for its relaxing effect on the nervous system, with an overall balancing effect on the mind and the emotions. Besides being versatile, its lightly floral and soothing scent is one that most people find appealing.

Linalool is considered the sweet component of Lavender's aroma. There have been many studies produced describing the anti-anxiety effects of Linalool -- even a study showing it can significantly lower aggression in animals, and more than likely humans as well. And besides aggression, its an excellent choice for helping kids calm down, and just generally 'taking the edge off'. This High Alpine variety is really a very nice oil. Many folks consider it their favorite Lavender.
Linalool, the primary natural constituent of Lavender essential oil has recently been the subject of a study for anti-cancer activity. Linalool was shown to have potent anti-tumorial effects on a commonly studied Liver cancer cell line. The results were summarized thusly: Linalool was the most potent and HepG2 cells the most sensitive. A 50% and 100% decrease in the viability of HepG2 was obtained at 0.4muM and 2muM linalool, respectively. This is a VERY low concentration of linalool -- while this does not describe a protocol of the use of Lavender essential oil for anti-cancer applications, it does show the as yet untapped potential of essential oils as medicine.

Ylang Ylang Extra Oil: Is distilled from a small tree which grows in Indonesia, the Philippines, Madagascar and Reunion Islands. It means 'flowers of flowers' and you can find pink, mauve and yellow flowered varieties. The best oil comes from the yellow flowers, which are picked very early in the day, in early summer.
The oil is produced by steam distillation. The flowers may be distilled several times, and the oil varies in quality, depending on the distillation. This oil is from the very first minutes of the distillation, the Ylang Ylang 'fraction' called 'Extra'. It is considered the very finest quality of Ylang Ylang, sought after by natural perfumers and aromatherapists alike. Ylang Ylang Oil is good for any skin as it balances the natural oil production. It has a sweet, heavy, distinctive fragrance.
Ylang Ylang is beautifully uplifting emotionally and relaxing. The calming effect of this oil may be the reason it is considered an aphrodisiac as using it would lessen tensions or anxieties. Ylang Ylang can help balance male and female energies, reducing internal conflict between these seeming opposites. In this manner, the aroma of the oil may positively influence sexual relationships, and help restore confidence.
It has been traditionally used as an aphrodisiac, and to calm overexcited physiological states. Used in hair preparations to promote thick and shiny hair, also to add luster to skin.
Ylang Ylang essential oil can be supportive for conditions of over-excitation and temper.

Natural Medicinal Rose Geranium and by leighswiccanboutique

Natural Medicinal Rose Geranium and by leighswiccanboutique

My Niece and I made this Lovely scented Natural Medicinal Goats Milk Shaving Soap together when she visited.
I want to give thanks to my good friend Azzrian Visions for teaching me how to make wonderful Medicinal Handmade soaps.

This soap contains All Natural Rose Geranium Oil, and Rosemary Oil.
Great for Sensitive Skin, and Tissue Regenerating.

It will leave your skin feeling soft and silky NOT DRY!
When I bathed with this soap my skin was so soft and smelled of roses for hours. It produces a lot of lather! It lathers up just like your store bought Liquid Body wash.

I have 2 types available 1 with no colorant's, and One colored with food coloring to keep it all natural. Color does not come off on the skin as there is not much color added just enough to give it a unique look.

The Shaving Soap Base Contains no detergents, no surfactants, no sulfates, no alcohol, and no sugar solutions. Great for shaving with or for those who like to lather up!
It is infused with Goats milk soap made with liquid Vitamin D Goat's Milk. Goat's milk is known for it's delicate moisturizing properties for dry or problem skin. These moisturizing properties soften and nourish the skin.

Rose Geranium Oil: Is a toner of great amplitude and strength. This particular certified organic oil has a great breadth of aroma with a fantastic smooth and sweet floral scent. Geranium may be particularly capable of revitalizing female energies, especially during menopause. A special noteworthy property of Geranium is to help in cases of edema for some individuals.
Therapeutic grade Rose Geranium essential oil's touted ability to interfere positively with fat metabolism makes it a good possible choice against cellulite. Known as astringent, detoxifying and regenerative, Geranium oil may be one of the best oils for diverse skin problems, such as oily or congested skin, inflammations, eczema, broken capillaries, varicose veins, dermatitis and is possibly effective to prevent premature aging skin.

Rosemary Verbenone: Due to its lower camphor and higher verbenone and tissue-regenterating ketone content, this chemotype of Rosemary is better suited for skin care and hair care.
Rosemary is an excellent tonic for the body’s yang energy making it one of the most valuable and invigorating of essences. By promoting the circulation of both Qi-energy and blood, Rosemary is an excellent tonic for the muscles and can be used to relieve stiffness, cramping, and pain. The warming action of Rosemary helps to relieve both mental and physical fatigue and to benefit those with low blood pressure as well as cold hands and feet. Expectorant in action, Rosemary may be used for cold, catarrhal coughs and bronchitis.
