The Prophetic Healing Balm combines lamb tallow with Moringa Oil and Violet Leaf Oil, two botanical oils with deep roots in Islamic medicine and traditional healing.
All three ingredients were used historically in the wider tradition of Tibb al-Nabawi and classical Islamic medicine. Each brings a different function to the formula.
Moringa Oil — Ben Tree Oil
Moringa, historically known as the Ben tree, was valued in traditional Islamic medicine for its nourishing oil. Moringa Oil is naturally rich in oleic acid, plant sterols and antioxidant compounds. Within this balm, it helps nourish dry and damaged-looking skin, soften rough areas and support a smoother, more even-looking complexion. Its naturally occurring antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds also complement the tallow base in skin that is dry, irritated or sensitive.
Violet Leaf Oil — Duhn al-Banafsaj
Duhn al-Banafsaj, or violet oil, has a long history of use in Islamic and Unani medicine. Classical physicians used violet preparations for their cooling and soothing properties, including for irritated skin and areas of inflammation.
Violet Leaf Oil also contains naturally occurring salicylate-like compounds and has traditionally been used topically to soothe inflamed, irritated, itchy and uncomfortable skin. Within this formula it gives the balm an additional soothing component for skin prone to inflammation, redness, sensitivity and discomfort.
