Beauty & Dittany of Crete...
As a therapeutic and healing herb, Dittany of Crete is a very useful herb to aid health and well being. But this "miracle cure all" need not just be confined to the medicine cabinet. It has been used since ancient times here on the Greek Island of Crete as a beauty aid. Even the Greek goddess of beauty and love, Aphrodite used Dittany!
And today thousands of years later great interest has been shown in the natural beauty remedies made using Dittany coming out of Crete. The rejuvenating anti ageing facial treatments and anti-cellulite body creams are proving to be the newest, groundbreaking and talked about innovative beauty products.
The herb Dittany of Crete is known locally here on the Greek Island of Crete as Diktamo or Diktamos.
Diktamos has been scientifically tested as an effective treatment for skin conditions and is both anti-ageing and helps with cellulite. Diktamos is also a good stress reliever. We all know that a stressful, demanding and worrying lifestyle leads to premature ageing so it makes sense to try to reduce stress.
Try these natural beauty remedies all using Diktamos.
Stress Reliever
Throw a handful of dried Diktamos or a few drops of Dittany of Crete essential oil into a warm bath. The powerful, healing properties of Diktamos should be absorbed through the skin as you soak and leave you feeling relaxed and de-stressed.
Relaxing Massage
Have a relaxing, stress relieving aromatherapy massage using Dittany of Crete essential oil.
Cellulite Reducer
A top tip for cellulite reduction is using Diktamos as a scrub. To make a good homemade cellulite reducing scrub grind Diktamos dried leaves and mix in with ground oatmeal, add some olive oil to form a paste. Use each day before showering to tackle stubborn cellulite.
Skin Freshener
Make an infusion of Diktamos by steeping the herb in boiling water and leaving for several hours. Strain out the herb material and use as a toner or skin freshener before moisturising.
Anti Wrinkle Treatment
Add a couple of drops of Dittany of Crete essential oil to your normal facial moisturiser to help with wrinkles and fine lines.
