The Healing Power of Botanicals

Incorporate the healing power of plants into your daily routine. We’re all aware of the benefits of getting outside for a dose of sunshine and fresh air, but consider bringing nature’s restorative potency indoors to your self-care practices. Mother Nature’s bounty of botanicals rejuvenates mind and body.

Uplift your spirits and soul by exploring the harmonious infusions of plants, flowers, roots and herbs in an abundance of skincare products, herbal teas and aromatherapy. These potent substances offer a treasure-trove of natural curative properties like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients that promote holistic healing and optimal health – from relaxation and skin health to mood enhancement and immune support.

Nature’s beautiful bounty of botanicals has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and in modern applications for supporting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. In today’s age of synthetic chemicals, it’s more important than ever to seek out natural elements and holistic options that reduce our exposure to harmful products and safeguard our health.

Lavender, for example, is used throughout the spa in in aromatherapy, natural skincare products, herbal tea and in soothing spa treatments applied topically. The pretty purple plant is just one of many in nature’s bouquet of botanicals that we use in conjunction with holistic practices like massage therapy to promote deeper relaxation and healing and to harness the innate connection of smell and our emotional and physical health.

Planting the seeds of wellness starts with small steps in our self-care rituals and practices. Skin health thrives on the gentle potency and effectiveness of botanicals: Soothe skin, improve skin tone, enhance moisture retention and battle oxidative stress with plant-derived extracts in natural skincare products. Nourishing ingredients from flower extracts, root and fruit powders, and soothing seed oils, including rosehip, meadowfoam and sunflower, are a testament to Mother Nature’s generosity. Each botanical has its own superpower, including protecting against environmental stressors like pollution, and others boost collagen production.

Our effective Skin Nourishment line, inspired by the bounty and aroma of our spa’s gardens, uses 100% pure botanical ingredients grown without chemicals. Our signature serums, moisturizers, masks and more replenish the skin and soul with nature’s healing hydration. In our Apothecary, botanicals are lovingly transformed into soothing salves, butters and balms, invigorating soaks and scrubs.

Explore the botanical wonders of healing teas. Sip away stress and soothe all your senses with health-promoting herbal elixirs. Sip on calming chamomile tea to unwind, energize with peppermint or detox with an uplifting cup of herbal green tea. Enjoy a cup before a yoga class to enhance relaxation and mindfulness.

Let the aromatic symphony of nature’s rich scents shift your emotional landscape, relaxing your mind and mood. Essential oils extracted from peppermint enhance focus and headache relief, eucalyptus brings clarity, chamomile calms and citrus rejuvenates and invigorates. Embrace the therapeutic potential of aromatherapy – using essential oils in a diffuser to fill the air, add a few drops to bathwater or apply them directly to the skin with a carrier oil.
