Scarlet Balm In a Natural Skin Care Product Is Helping People Regain their Healthy Skin

by Valentina Bellocchio

No matter what you call it, Scarlet balm, Oswego tea, bee balm, mountain mint, or bergamot, the flower is one of the most powerful natural medicines throughout history. It can be put in teas and salads to add flavor and used in bath soaps to alleviate anxiety and nervous tension. As if this flower's characteristics weren't enough right there, 100% all natural bergamot can treat stressed skin that is visibly hurt by conditions like dermatitis, rosacea, sensitive skin, and acne.

Scarlet balm has been a piece of American tradition since the settlers first arrived. Scarlet balm was used as a medicinal flower by Native Americans and became such a notable ingredient in tea that hardly anyone was worried about the lack of tea after the Boston Tea Party. The Native Americans held it with such regard that it was admired and had a certain mystique among the new settlers not only for tea and culinary uses, but for its medicinal virtues.

Legend has it that scarlet balm was one of the ways the natives and the settlers first came to share their way of life. The natives taught how to grow the flower which became popular additives in apple jelly, fruit cups, and salads. The entire flower emits a strong smell similar to citrus, which makes it a favorite for bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. The aroma is suitable for use in potpourris and other scented collections. The flavor of scarlet balm is similar to that of citrus with lemon and orange.

Medicinal Values of Scarlet Balm

The medicinal values of scarlet balm are what make it so intriguing to people nowadays who experience stress and skin conditions. When drank in tea form, scarlet balm reduces menstrual cramps, nausea, bronchial problems, and sore throats. Pilgrims learned of the medicinal characteristics of the flower and used it to treat skin eruptions, and inflammations.

Scarlet balm oil is often used in perfumes and in cosmetic treatments, principally those formulated for dry skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis. The oil of scarlet balm also has antiseptic characteristics. Studies have shown scarlet balm to have the following valuable properties:
