Leleshwa has a particular affinity for the skin, nails and hair. As a purifying tonic, it can help to rebuild and renew smooth, clear and beautiful skin.  Leleshwa has been proven to be more effective than Tea Tree for helping cleanse the skin. It is a strong antiseptic and is ideal to get under the top layer of the skin and thoroughly clean dirty pores.  Leleshwa has been used with success for soothing sore feet and easing painful chilblains. The anti-fungal properties of Leleshwa make it an excellent remedy for Athletes Foot and other fungal diseases. It is also frequently massaged on to the legs and feet before long journeys.  Useful for abscesses, acne, athlete’s foot, blisters, burns, cold sores, dandruff, herpes, insect bites, oily skin, rashes, spots, warts, and infected wounds.  It is also excellent for treating over-anxiety and head-aches.
