MATERIA MEDICA:  SACRED LOTUS 荷花 - YINA

 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the entire lotus plant, seen and unseen parts, is used to treat various issues - root (stops bleeding), leaves (clears summer heat), seeds (tonifies and binds Spleen), and flower (clears Heart fire).

Biomedical research shows that extracts from Lotus have many health promoting activities particularly - anti-oxidant, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anticancer, and photoprotective activities. The lotus is a revered plant for a good reason.


We formulate with Lotus leaves and flowers. Rich in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, lotus leaf extracts help balance sebum production, soothe irritations, and rejuvenate the skin. Calming and soothing, lotus flowers help connect the mind with the heart.
