At Moon Haven we are seeing more and more cases of acne than ever before.often a mother will bring in a teenage son or daughter to ask for help.
With the advent of so many over the counter acne medicatins we are also finding that people with acneic skin ( and they are not all teens) are often overtreating thier skin.
This gives rise to

Soaping days are so much fun at Moon Haven. We have worked hard at getting our systems down pat to the point where most days we are able to produce a wide variety and volume of beautifully crafted, natural soaps.
The Routine:
Eric, Chris and Leonie arrive at the "Soap Shed" early in the morning...
People ask us how to best look after their Moon Haven soaps., so here are a few guidelines to help get the most out of each bar.
Our soap is fully cured at the time of labelling and does not need to be left to cure further– although there are many Moon Haven soaps out there happily scenting drawers and wardrobes, even cars!
We recommend that Moon Haven soap is used within 12 months of purchase to ensure a refreshing aromatherapy bathing experience.
Moon Haven Soaps do not contain any fillers so you will need less soap to cleanse yourself each bath time. So remember that little soap goes a long way.
Do allow your soap to dry between uses. This will allow the soap to last a long time and not be used up quickly. We highly recommend you use a soap saver to allow your natural soap to dry between uses.
Each soap weighs a minimum of 110 grams at packing (120 g for our new Designer Series soap)—most weigh more. Enjoy…
Calendula for Leg Ulcers
We recently had a surprising phone call from an elderly gent who wanted a jar of our Universal Herbal Ointment ...apparently his leg ulcer was now healing after only two applications whereas for the past 12 months he had been fighting a losing battle with the ulcer and had been in danger of losing his leg.
We knew that 'Universal' was pretty amazing so we decided to look to the scientific community to see what they had to say. We had chosen Calendula as one of the major healing herbs in our ointment so we did a Pub Med search. A 2005 clinical study found that the herb Calendula was more effective in treating leg ulcers than the currently accepted treatment methods.
A new study has shown evidence that what you smell as you sleep influences your dreams as well as the quality of your sleep.
Boris Stuck of University Hospital Mannheim, Germany, exposed 15 sleeping volunteers to chemicals that mimicked the smell of either rotten eggs or roses. Apparently...
Sorry I have been so quiet recently. Actually I have been far from quiet, but I also have been at times far from my computer or far from time to edit anything. It really has been months since I posted. In the meantime, Leonie and I have travelled to...
Blessings to Prof. Turner and Fremantle Hospital! It’s a good thing that the Lu-177 Clement Study has been as beneficial to me as it has been, and had no lasting side effects. I seem to be fully recovered and have a very sustainable energy supply. That is...
