of sugar in honey kills bacteria by plasmolysis. Natural airborne yeasts cannot
become active in it because the moisture content is too low. Honey has been used
for hundreds of years to treat deep wounds, including bed sores and battle
wounds. It is still used in some hospitals for treating bed sores and other deep
wounds, resulting in muscle tissue re-growth and very little
scarring.

Notes Angelina harvests wild
horsetail on the banks of some of the cleanest rivers in the U.S. Every spring,
she heads out on several "horsetail jogs", running along the beautiful rivers
looking for thick, healthy stands of the young spring shoots. Carefully
gathering just a few sprigs from each stand, never taking more than 10% of a
population. We then dry the plants in a cool, dark room and store for use in our
Hairgasm Texturizing Mist.
History Horsetail is a member
of the Equisetaceae family; the sole survivor of a line of plants going back
three hundred million years. It is a descendant of ancient plants that grew as
tall as trees during the carboniferous period of prehistoric times and members
of this family gave rise to many of our coal deposits. Since being recommended
by the Roman physician Galen, several cultures have employed horsetail as a folk
remedy for kidney and bladder troubles, arthritis, bleeding ulcers, and
tuberculosis. The Chinese use it to cool fevers and as a remedy for eye
inflammations such as conjunctivitis and corneal disorders, dysentery, flu,
swellings and haemorrhoids. Because of its content of silica, this plant is
recommended when it is necessary for the body to repair bony tissues that are in
not well condition, as a result of some traumatism or because of their own
corporal decalcification. Silica helps to fix calcium, so that the body can
store more quantity of this mineral and it is able to form stronger hair, bones
or tendons.
Constituents~ Silica, silicic acid,
equisetic acid
