ABOUT

I have always had an interest in growing herbs and healing plants. I completed a Holistic Herbalist Diploma, and in 2017 began to grow specific herbs to blend my first balm. It was initially just for me, to use as a hand balm and to treat my dry hands and cuticles, but I also had success when sharing it with friends, for a number of skin issues. They too noticed distinct benefits from using it. One friend called it a miracle balm, so I adopted the name.

Skip forward many years, and I now have four therapeutic, natural balms available, to remedy a range of health & skin concerns: Lovely Balm, Munda Wunda Balm, Bush Balm and ‘Miracle’ Balm.

I use a range of herbs, flowers and weeds in my Balms, infused over time under the warm Sun, and then blended with therapeutic oils and Bees Wax. I have listed a few below: –

Bay Leaf (Laurus Nobilis) natural astringent, treats open wounds, sores and skin conditions

Bush Mint (Clinopodium Vimineum) soothing and uplifting, promotes concentration and alertness, is antibacterial and offers immune support.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) – antimicrobial, repairs damaged or broken skin

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – anti-fungal, reparative, calms itchy or splotchy skin

Comfrey (Symphytumofficinale) – root or leaf; for itchy skin or eczema, repairs skin, anti-inflammatory

Dandelion Flowers (Taraxacum officinale) – for chapped or cracked dry skin; historical use for maintaining health and treating illness

Echinacea (E. purpurea; purple coneflower) – anti-inflammatory, tones skin

Eucalyptus Leaves (Eucalyptus Globulus) – alleviates allergies, bronchitis, coughs, colds, influenza hay fever, and general fever, clears congestion

Frankincense (Boswellia Carterii) – has powerful healing properties, encouraging minor wounds and skin infections to heal – I purchase this oil from Australian Wholesale Oils, and add this to my balms.

I also invite you to view the Information page for details of the healing qualities of some herbs (a listing to be increased over time), and also for: –

In 2022 I completed a Diploma in Holistic Counselling, and I created these exercises to help with anxiety and stress related issues. Many people, of all ages, within my community networks were experiencing self-care, health and wellbeing concerns. These exercises were created in response to proactively and positively address these issues, and may be used in conjunction with my body balms for optimum results.
