Phytotherapy plays a big role in the creation and customization of the skincare products Yon-Ka Paris offers, and that many of you have come to know and love. But what does “phytotherapy” really mean and how does it benefit you?
Today, we’re going to help you learn about phytotherapy and how it plays a role in the Yon-Ka products you incorporate into your daily skincare routine.
Phytotherapy is a science-based practice that originated with a French physician named Henri Leclerc. He first coined this term back in 1913 and it’s known as the “use of plant-derived medications in the treatment and prevention of disease.”
While many of us are used to pharmaceutical drugs as our conventional medication, plant-based medicines have been used successfully for hundreds of years in a variety of European and Asian cultures. In fact, many of the medications available today are derived from plants and plant extracts.
One well-known example of phytotherapy is the use of St. John’s Wort. Some turn to this instead of antidepressants because it has been shown to provide relief for some without unpleasant side effects. Of course, it is important to consult with a doctor before treating yourself with any herbs! You can find St. John’s Wort in a variety of different Yon-Ka products, including Guarana Scrub and Crème 15 due to its ability to boost blood flow to the skin and regenerate.
Another phytotherapy extract used is moringa. Known as the “tree of life”, moringa tree seeds are used to purify water to make it drinkable without using synthetic chemicals. Yon-Ka features moringa peptides, obtained from the seeds, in Vital Defense as an anti-pollution and purifying ingredient that fights environmental pollution.
Aromatherapy is a highly specialized subcategory of phytotherapy, and plays an important role in the development of Yon-Ka’s “Quintessence”, a synergistic expression of 5 aromatic essential oils.
Each one serves a distinct purpose and provides a unique benefit in providing healthy, glowing skin. If you’ve tried any Yon-Ka products before, then you’re probably pretty familiar with our Quintessence. But if you haven’t, you might be wondering what’s inside…
