The Power of Lomatium Root.

Each January, I look forward to sharing the results of my annual autumn foray to a steep, remote drainage along Idaho's Salmon River to forage Lomatium dissectum roots.

Lomatium roots, which have always reminded me of earthen hearts, are powerful healers. They are saturated with a thick, pungent resin that has been proven in numerous studies to boost the immune system and fortify the blood. When used topically, Lomatium heals dry skin and helps soothe persistent skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

I make two Lomatium infusions – fresh roots in cane spirits, and dried roots in organic sunflower oil – which cure for four months in order to draw as much beneficial resin as possible from the roots. These infusions are the star ingredients in two essential Anthea wintertime products: Lomatium Root Tincture and Vanilla Healing Cream. The tincture strengthens your immune system and the rich, soothing cream keeps your skin soft and hydrated.

Lomatium products are your strongest allies for winter health and happiness — one to fortify your inner beauty, and one to enhance your outer radiance. Stay healthy, and be well!
