botanicals natural for feet

Botanicals 'just for feet', organic foot balm has been heralded as "a miracle" by diabetic, May Messer from Dunblane.

May has suffered with skin problems on her feet for many years; a common complaint for people with diabetes: "I have tried all sorts of prescribed products, but nothing has been able to help" reported May. "My feet were in a terrible state, dry and cracked, and I've been very worried about getting foot ulcers - which can lead to serious complications."

Beauty therapist, Rosemary McPherson, who has treated May for three years explained: "I was very concerned about May's feet, and recommended Botanicals foot balm, which we now use in all our pedicures. When I next saw May three weeks later, I was amazed! Her feet were transformed. The skin had become soft, with no more cracks".

"I can only call it a 'miracle', added May. I'm so pleased to have found a product that works, that I want to let other people who have similar foot problems know about it".

The foot balm is part of a new range of products launched in 2004 by Botanicals, a small independent company, specialising in completely natural body care products.

Wendy Stirling, Botanicals founder, explained: "Botanicals products are mostly hand-made in small batches, using only natural and organic ingredients. The foot balm contains 100% active ingredients - including shea butter (a natural butter from Africa), and organic cold pressed oils - so it's very skin softening. It also contains pure essential oils - chosen for their natural antiseptic and anti-fungal properties, and natural vitamin E - which is a powerful anti-oxidant.

"What we leave out is equally important" added Wendy. "We don't use chemicals, synthetic additives or petroleum based ingredients in our creams, as these can be drying and irritating to the skin. It's so rewarding to have such fantastic evidence that natural is best - and to reinforce our message that nature really does know best."
