Use in Skin Care and Remedies

Bryophyllum appears to be arrested at the stage of the embryonic and unformed. The small leaf buds shoot up everywhere without restraint, overgrow even the flowers. The plant appears to pour forth its entire energy into vegetative multiplication, it does not restrain itself for more organized forms such as flowers and seeds. This picture finds its parallel in the mental state which manifests as hysterical disorders. The individual breaks away early, his powers of will and fantasy take on a life of their own, are not controlled or refined. Because of this correspondence Bryophyllum is used in anthroposophical medicine as internal medication for hysterical conditions.

Dr.Hauschka Hand Cream, Regenerating Serum, Regenerating Day Cream, Intensive Treatment 02 and Rhythmic Night Conditioner contain the succulent Bryophyllum not only as moisture giver but also because of its wound-healing, refreshing, hemostatic, astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
