TROPICAL FIRST AID
Traditional Melanesian skin care treatments based on the healing qualities
of the Sacred Oil of Tamanu, pure Virgin Coconut Oil and volcanic ash.
Please be aware that pure Tamanu Oil is derived from the nuts of the Tamanu Tree
so if you happen to be allergic to nuts, we recommend that you test the product
on a small area of your skin first.

It's
funny how the world works backwards. Modern society would have us
believe that if we work hard or smart enough, we might one day
accummulate enough money to buy own slice of paradise on a tropical
island. While we seldom reach this elusive goal, the Melanesian people
of Vanuatu already enjoy such a lifestyle & all without working
hard!
|
We
can learn a lot from the Melanesian culture. Their spirituality is
inextricably connected to their ancestral heritage, their ancient land,
age-old traditions and religious/cultural customs. Where modern
medicine fails, traditional health remedies have much to offer. Local
healers (klevas) use their traditional health remedies and tropical
first aid to treat a wide range of aliments from infertility in women,
through to tropical ulcers, cramping, muscular pain and various skin
infections. While modern medicine has come a long way, it still
searches for some answers in the tried and tested methods of ancient
cultures.
Three cornerstones of Vanuatu custom medicine are its Virgin Coconut Oil, Tamanu Oil (also known as
The Sacred Oil of Tamau) and Volcanic Ash. Our TROPICAL FIRST AID is based on these natural
products and is designed for the treatment of troublesome skin conditions.

Volcanic ash has anti-bacterial, and anti-viral qualities. Sulphur, an active Mineral ingredient in the ash, not only helps the body to resist bacteria but actually destroy it.
As such, we have incorporated the use of real volcanic ash in our foot and body scrubs to help guard against a wide variety of skin infections.
Sulphur is FDA-approved for the treatment of acne. It also assists in slowing down the aging process, because of its ability to protect against the toxic effects of pollution and radiation.
