About Komehsa Botanical Blends
mehsa Essentials LLC is dedicated to providing products and information that improve your quality of life with a combination of aromatherapy and massage. Aromatherapy is a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modality that uses essential oils to treat disease.
Aromatherapy works in two main methods. The most popular method is inhalation where-by the volatile oils travel to the brain and blood stream via the olfactory system. The second is trans-dermal application where the oils enter the blood stream through the skin using massage.
Essential oils are very volatile and concentrated substances that are produced by plants to facilitate pollination, repel pests, and/or for fragrance. Pure essential oils are collected by a steam distillation process. Each oil certain properties are attributed to it that are based on centuries of use. For example, the essential oil of clove bud is renown for relieving pain and is often used to relieve toothache.
Komehsa Essentials product line takes advantage of the wealth of information and research about essential oils to prepare products that address specific sets of symptoms. Our uniqueness is in the fact that our products contain a blend of 16 essential oils from medicinal plants that are reported to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Therefore, our products can address multi-factoral causes of pain with a multi-faceted approach.
Muscle and joint pain can result from many activities of daily life. Aging, physical exertion, sports injuries and accidents are only a few examples of things that may cause pain. Komehsa Balm relieves pain, simply massage a small amount into the skin until no residue remains.
Pain remedies that must be taken orally. Oral pain remedies are carried from the digestive tract to all parts of the body and may cause undesirable and unexpected side effects over time. By contrast, Komehsa Balm is applied topically, it is massaged directly at the site of pain, therefore the risk of adverse effects is limited.

About Komehsa Balm
ll Komehsa pain relief products contain the Botanical Blend of 16 essential oils. Essential oils are powerfully effective, they are also expensive therefore the rule is that essential oils should be dissolved in carrier oil. The carrier oil that we use in Komehsa Balm is arnica infused olive oil. The petals of the Arnica flowers are immersed in warm olive oil for at least 12 hours. The color of the resulting carrier oil is based on the intensity of the pigmentation of the flowers and the color of the olive oil. Our products are all natural so from year to year, from batch to batch, from harvest to harvest, the color of our products might vary. This may be due to the soil where the plants grew, the amount of Sun or rain that the plants received in the growing season, or the general temperature where the plants grew.
Our ingredients are always natural and as “fresh” as possible therefore the color of the Balm may be slightly more yellow this time and more green next time. The variation means that more fat soluble yellow pigment was present in the Arnica flowers, or that the olive oil contained more green color from the olives. Color variations occur in nature and because our products are natural, colors may vary.

About the Emulsion
Komehsa Emulsion is a rich combination of Aloe Vera juice; Arnica infused Olive oil, Sesame oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Grape Seed Oil, fresh Aloe Vera Gel, Aloe Vera Butter, Emulsifying wax, Bees wax, Vitamins C and E, grapefruit seed oil, zinc oxide. Aloe Vera is widely recognized for the benefit it provides to the skin. Rather than sterile water, we use Aloe Vera juice in this product. Arnica infused olive oil and Sesame oil, both are reported to relieve pain, Sea Buckthorn oil is reported to promote healthy skin and Grape Seed Oil is reported to have an astringent effect. Fresh Aloe Vera gel will oxidize so vitamin C and Vitamin E are added to the formulae to prevent oxidation.
Zinc oxide is a mineral powder that is widely used to treat a variety of skin conditions in products such as baby powder and barrier creams to treat diaper rashes, and antiseptic ointments. Zinc oxide is used in ointments, creams, and lotions to protect against sunburn and other damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet light (see sunscreen). It is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB reflector that is approved for use as a sunscreen by the FDA,[58] When used as an ingredient in sunscreen, zinc oxide remains on the skin’s surface, and it blocks both UVA (320–400 nm) and UVB (280–320 nm) rays of ultraviolet light. It is nonirritating& non-allergenic.
This combination of beneficial carrier oils and protective minerals serves as the carrier for the Botanical Blend of 16 essential oils that are reported to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Komehsa Emulsion is more than a lotion, much, much more! [buy it now]

About Komehsa Bath Salts
son Salt has earned the reputation as a product that “draws” pain and inflammation from the body so it is widely used in soaking baths for aching bodies and feet. Dendritic Salt absorbs more of the botanical blend of essential oils because it is a very fine grain salt with a greater surface area than most salts on the market. It also dissolves quickly and prevents clumping. We use the most aesthetically-perfect all-natural and unrefined Dead Sea salt on the available. It also contains the highest mineral content, making it ideal for use in spa treatments and for therapeutic-grade Dead Sea bath salts and scrubs. To this luxurious 3 salt blend, we add 20% of Komehsa Botanical Blend of essential oils. Wow!
