Beauty Scents

nightbalm

Be an Anu Goddess: It makes beauty scents

The Ancient Greeks attributed it to divine origin, the Romans wouldn’t leave for battle without it and the Egyptians were using it in cosmetics more than three thousand years ago. Lavender has proven itself to be more than just a pretty flower that smells good. A field of lavender is a feast for the eyes, whether close up or from a distance, and even after it has been cut and dried, this giving plant continues to share it’s amazing scent.

As far back as records go, lavender has been revered; for cleaning wounds and burns and treating skin ailments; for battling plagues, calming anxious minds and aiding sleep; enticing lovers and smoothing beautiful faces…so it makes sense to combine all lavender’s magical attributes in a multi purpose beauty aid…and we love it! Keep Anu Night by your bedside and apply it absentmindedly while reading, or allow yourself to go into a lavender trance as you massage this beauty balm into your face, neck and décolletage. As you fall into a peaceful sleep, be confident that Anu Night is working to restore and relieve you of the demands of your day.

Have a good night’s sleep, always.

Love…ANU

Anu Night balm is now available at the introductory price of €19.95

Relief for Eczema?

ANUNight Balm

Here at ANU we have always been of the belief that our balms would provide relief for certain skin conditions because of our use of natural ingredients and we are currently conducting clinical trials to assess that impact.
We received this in an email from Sandra Taylor which leads us to believe that we might be on the right track!

 

“Shortly after my son Ben was born he developed chronic eczema.  He was covered from head to toe.  Over the years I have tried various lotions and potions to keep his skin moist.  Since he was old enough to have a mind of his own.. I have found it very difficult to get him to use any cream beyond a day or two of testing it.  Hence his skin, although no longer chronic is still prone to flare-ups from time to time.

I received some samples of the ANU face and night cream through a friend.  I didn’t even have to ask Ben, now 12, to use it.  He started using it himself when he saw it in the bathroom cabinet.  He regimentally puts the face cream on in the morning and when he comes in from school and puts on the night cream before bed.  I was amazed how dedicated he was and was curious why these creams were so different from the others that I had spent a fortune on over the years.

 

So, I asked him why do you use these ANU creams when you never used any of the others I bought.  He simply said ’cause it works’.  I asked was it the simple packaging, the smell and he said ‘no – just ’cause it works’.

 

Ben is also using homeopathic remedies prescribed by a homeopathic doctor so I believe that the ANU creams compliment the homeopathic treatment perfectly.

 

Sandra”

Signs of Life

ANUChickweed

ANU is on the lookout at the moment for signs of life amongst the hedgerows. Some back garden and roadside herbs have stood valiantly throughout the winter, even if this forager didn’t. One particularly hardy plant is Chickweed, or Chicken Wort. Loathed by gardeners, but loved by herbalists, this floppy sprawling plant, described by the herbalist Levy as ‘one of the supreme healers of the herbal kingdom’, has a host of magical properties. Indeed, it might sooth the mood of many a gardener if they knew the power behind the so-called weed, that is so easily pulled up and dumped on the compost heap.

It’s high in vitamins A and C, has a reputation for clearing stubborn skin conditions, such as eczema and varicose veins, has a special affinity for the eyes, lungs and chest – and it’s free and widely available! Externally, it can be used to soothe itches, bites, stings, burns, sore eyes, even sunburn, bruises and splinters – it’s as simple as pulling up a handful and placing it on the affected area, or crush it into a paste in a pestle and mortar. Taken internally, chickweed works well on dry coughs, asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory conditions, blocked kidneys and gallbladder and piles. It is even valued in some quarters as a slimming aid. Whatever you believe, it won’t do you any harm, and you can have year round pesto from it if nothing else!

Chickweed Pesto
Blend together a large handful of chickweed, removing any larger stems, along with a good handful of pine nuts (walnuts also work well), a clove or two of garlic and enough olive oil to make it into a good pesto constituency. Serve it on pasta, baked potatoes or add some vinegar to make a salad dressing.

ANU The Goddess

ANU treesANU
Described as the Mother of the Gods of Ireland, Anu was the Earth Mother Goddess of ancient times, If you ever find yourself in County Kerry, in the south of Ireland, you will have a chance to visit the Paps of Anu, two breast shaped hills, believed to have been used in the rituals of prehistory. On each hilltop sits a cairn, thought to have once been passage graves. A line of stones connects the two cairns and archeologists believe that this was once a processional route. To the ancients, the hills were a visual reminder that the Earth was a motherly body.

The worship of Anu, also known as Danu, was brought to Ireland by the Tuatha De Danaan (the tribe of the people of Danu), who arrived, it is said, in a mist and that they came through the air to Ireland. They brought with them all their treasures and magical skills, and won the land from the Fir Bolg in a bloody battle. Anu, who is attributed to both the land and the sea, offered fertility, abundance, regeneration and nurturing – which makes her the perfect patron for us!
