Use in Skin Care and Remedies

The vigorous upward and spreading growth of Kidney Vetch is the expression of its strong vegetative power. It is this power that strengthens the injured human organism. However, Kidney Vetch does not grow rampant but with refined culture. The power that fortifies the wound healing process is therefore not uncontrolled, but balanced and finely regulating. The plant's polymorphism is also an expression of its regulating power. In the same way as it adapts itself to different external circumstances, Kidney Vetch also helps different skin types to develop in the direction of a balanced, healthy skin. The balanced growth of the plant, which is at the same time an expression of the balance between building-up and breaking-down processes, is transferred to the skin, thus strengthening its resistance to destructive environmental influences and slowing down the aging process. The balancing of the building-up and breaking-down processes in the stratum corneum also refines the skin and makes it noticeably softer.

On account of its positive influence on the skin, Kidney Vetch is one of the key plants in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care and is contained in many of the face care products and decorative cosmetics. In summary, it provides a balanced combination of two important components of skin function:

a form-giving, firming and perfusion-promoting component and
a gland-strengthening component

In WALA Acne Fluid* it helps the purulent inflamed skin to regain a balanced complexion.
