See Ashley's lovely Review! Ooh la la lashes

Developed from our bestselling Hairloss Serum, it is a highly concentrated serum to get healthy eyelashes which grow longer. 100% natural & the safe, the ingredients use a chemotype (species) of Camellia oil.

Traditionally used by the Geisha for long and luxurious hair, this species of Camellia is a plant identified by texture of leaves & smell by traditional healers out of other chemotypes.

It has been effectively used by African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics & other races, and many times shows results in 3-4 uses for scanty eyelashes & eyebrows.

Initially formulated for a baby with eczema which made her eyelashes sparser, this serum is safe for children and babies.



How do EyeLash Lengtheners in the market work

Hair, eyelashes, etc have 2 phases: Active & Resting phases. Active phase when eyelashes are growing, & Resting when they dont. Eyelashes grow very very slowly.
Lash Lengtheners work by increasing the Active phase.

Some eyelash enhancing products use prostoglandins, which are hormones and have serious side effects.

The difference between synthetic ones and HolisticSerums Lash Lengtheners is:
1)100% Natural ingredients
2) Uses the oils natural properties of strengthening hair follicles- which is why we also have a Natural Hairgrow Serum. If the other Lash Lengtheners strengthen hair, then they could have a hairgrowth product too!
3) Have no hormones added or changed- they simply promote health to the hair, and in the case of Hairgrow Serum, to the scalp.

And healthy hair grows!
Although eyelashes grow only by a little, because they are eyelashes, it seems to be a lot!


A great investment for those long fluttering lashes.

Plai for Pain Relief + Product Review

The Traditional Thai Herb Ball used in Thai massage contains a blend of herbs : plai, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric and cumin all wrapped in Thai cotton. When applied to the body with heat and pressure, the essential oils from these herbs are transfered to the skin which reduces muscular tension and increases blood circulation.


In recent times, the essential oil of Plai is being researched for its multiple benefits. Plai, of the ginger family, is extremely helpful to inflamed areas, be they joints and muscles or kidneys and lungs, to a degree that others do not reach.


On inflamed joints, undiluted Plai eases pain over 18 hours, which other oils cannot do, however skin sensitization is a possibility. On joints inflamed due to injury, Plai was best combined with oils such as black pepper, lemon or neroli, cedarwood and orange .


Our own Sports Injury Relief Synergy is a combination of Plai with Ginger, Marjoram, Bergamot and Orange Oils and provides substantial relief, especially to sports related injuries like a catch in back, neck and shoulder strain due to sudden activity, and any other musculo-skeletal pain. It is well liked by Soccer and Baseball coaches, especially those who aren't in regular training!





Plai is also used in post operative blend on knees ,shoulders and through the process of hip-replacement. It is also able to relieve arthritis pain and increase mobility





Some research has been done suggesting using Plai for asthma (exercise and allergy induced), with tarragon or rosemary and cypress, causes the attacks to diminish in intensity.even though aroma is a little overwhelming at first, even just smelling the blend causes the attack to reduce.
