Did you know that many, perhaps 75%, of all conventional medications are refinements of herbal medicines? One example of this is the isolation of morphine from opium in 1806. This was the first time that chemical methods were used to extract the active chemical constituents of an herb. The chemical processes used to isolate morphine led to the production of codeine, the widely used cough suppressant. There are countless examples of commonly used medications which come from various plant materials, some of which can often be found right in your own backyard.

Although you should always consult your physician for medical conditions before using any treatment, natural or synthetic, the purpose of this article is to inform you of the various botanically-derived remedies that may be considered for treating some of the most common skin problems. There are many advantages to using herbs rather than the drugs derived from them. A standard medication consists of one, or occasionally two, medically active chemical compounds, plus carrier compounds and a buffer. Herbs and herbal formulas usually contain at least dozens, and in many cases, hundreds, of active ingredients. The many active ingredients act on the body, and on one another, simultaneously.

Finding the cure for wrinkles has been prevalent, especially for women, since Cleopatra’s era. Although many products have been developed and advanced over the past centuries, few if any can actually boast being “the cure” for this natural aging process. Cleopatra credited her youthful skin to her daily use of milk and honey for washing and bathing her skin. Another well-known French beauty from the late 1600’s, Ninon de L’Enclos, was still so physically alluring at the age of 90 years old that young men fell hopelessly in love with her. Her face was as smooth and free of wrinkles at 90 as it had been at 20. Louis XIV declared that she was the marvel of his reign. Paintings of her from ages 50 to 85 show her with youthful, clear, wrinkle free skin. Her secret, which was later revealed around 1710, was a simple balm made from beeswax, lard and onion juice!

Although anti-aging skin treatments from Cleopatra’s and Ninon’s eras, and even the most highly advertised “wrinkle creams” on the market today, cannot stop the natural aging process of the skin, studies have shown several natural and herbal ingredients can certainly slow the process down significantly. I will be covering a few of the most effective of these ingredients a little later.
