52 EXPAND YOUR RANGE Expand Traditional relief for itchy skin Your Range Oriental Botanicals Dermavital combines Japanese catnip with dong quai from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and burdock from traditional Western herbal medicine. In TCM, Japanese catnip is traditionally used to relieve itchy skin – for example, to relieve symptoms of hives and mild eczema. In Western herbal medicine, burdock is traditionally used to relieve symptoms of mild psoriasis, including dryness and scaling of the skin. It’s traditionally believed to work by supporting the skin’s ability to eliminate waste. Dong quai is traditionally used to support the health of the skin and promote its regeneration in TCM, where it’s believed to work by acting as a blood tonic and relieving skin dryness. It’s also traditionally used to relieve symptoms of hives associated with mild allergies. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, WORSEN OR CHANGE UNEXPECTEDLY, TALK TO YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. RRP: Oriental Botanicals Dermavital 30 vege caps, $30.95, 60 vege caps, $45.95.

SKIN CARE Relief from common skin irritations Australian-owned Dermal Therapy now offers a comprehensive range of clinically-tested products to treat and manage the symptoms associated with eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. Designed to treat flare-ups and symptoms as they occur and help improve and maintain ongoing skin quality, each product has been developed using a carefully blended formulation of ingredients. The Eczema and Dermatitis Lotion takes the place of a daily moisturiser for face and body and can be used on children as young as two years. Suitable for sensitive skin, it is free from nut oils, parabens and petroleum derivatives. Also available now is the Eczema and Dermatitis Cream. The thicker consistency helps with flare-ups on smaller, targeted areas of the skin, and has been tested and proven to relieve itching, swelling and redness. With the advent of Covid-19 and an increase in mask-related irritation to the face, the Face and Eyelid Eczema Cream provides some welcome relief. Easing dryness, redness and irritation without any greasy residue, it can be applied throughout the day as needed. The Psoriasis Cream is specifically formulated for the symptomatic relief of psoriasis and can be used in combination with other psoriasis treatments. It gently removes dead and scaling skin and helps relieve itching and redness. RRP: Eczema and Dermatitis Cream, $19.99; Eczema and Dermatitis Lotion, $16.99; Face and Eyelid Eczema Cream, $18.95; Psoriasis Cream, $19.99. Stockist inquiries: 1300 555 597.
