THEMBA* - herbal skin balm
"
A little pot of comfort
", formulated from the fruit of the Kigelia tree.
THEMBA
™ is a
herbal balm
for dry skin conditions such as
eczema
,
psoriasis
and
dermatitis
. Also excellent for
acne
(
spots
),
cold sores
,
verrucas
,
viral warts
, and
athletes foot
, and for
cuts
,
stings
and
burns
.
Kigelia Africana
is a tree found in low-lying altitudes in Southern Africa. It grows well in riverine areas and produces an amazing pod in the shape of a sausage, sometimes as heavy as 10kg (about the same as a one-year old child!).
The Kigelia fruit has been traditionally used for
stubborn dry-skin conditions
, but we are constantly surprised by customer reports of the many other ailments it can be used for, and keep having to update the "
THEMBA™ List of Achievements
"!
THEMBA
™ balm gently nourishes the skin and promotes healing at the same time as tackling skin problems associated with
viruses, bacteria and fungus
. Not only that, but it seems to be suitable for the most sensitive of skins and for the tiniest newborn babies (though a patch test is essential, as with everything that goes onto the skin).
In addition to the
Kigelia extract
we have added to
THEMBA
™ other ingredients beneficial to the skin including:
- Aloe Excelsia
- Calendula
- Wheatgerm Oil
- Lavender
- Vitamin E
Contains NO steroids, NO antibiotics and NO parabens.
Note that colour and consistency may vary slightly as this product is mixed by hand.
We have called our herbal skin cream '
THEMBA™
'
, an African word for 'hope'. We know that hope is something that many sufferers of dry skin condtions lost a long time ago.
We also recommend our new range of natural
Soaps
and
Shampoo Bars
to complement Themba cream
.
Have you read Elise's & Eva's story?
See the
Elise's & Eva's Eczema
page to read the testimonial written by their mother about how
THEMBA
™
and
OSHANA

helped to moisturise Elise's and Eva's skin and as featured in the
Manchester Evening News

.
How to use THEMBA™ herbal skin balm :
Eczema & Psoriasis
:
· Apply twice a day, sparingly, to affected areas.
· Be sure to rub the cream in until it is entirely absorbed by the skin.
·
Persevere
, as response times vary considerably.
· If the psoriasis does not show any sign of response, consider using
SIMBA
™at the same time. The combination has been shown to be very effective on stubborn psoriasis.
·
THEMBA
™ can be used on
childhood
(
atopic
)
eczema
, even on tiny babies.
Acne
(both
Acne vulgaris
and the odd pimple):
· Apply regularly with clean fingers
·
THEMBA
™ will help to lessen any acne scarring
Cold sores
:
· Use when the tingling that precedes the cold sore is first felt.
· If the cold sore develops, apply small amounts every hour throughout the day until the sore heals.
·
THEMBA
™ will help to lessen any scarring that may result.
Verrucas
,
Viral warts
,
Cuts
,
Stings
and
Burns
:
· Apply regularly (at the very least twice a day) and try, if possible, to apply every hour or so until the skin has healed.
We would always recommend a patch test, as with everything that goes onto the skin.
