Stoneroot (Collinsonia canadensis) extract is an accepted skin-soothing and anti-itch agent. To counteract irritation that occurs in oxidative disorders, stoneroot is a member of the mint family and has long been used by the American Indians and pioneering settlers as a poultice for bruises, cuts, and sores.
Collinsonia Canadensis leaves and roots were brewed to make medicinal teas and washes, or lotions, for cuts and wounds for generations. The name stoneroot refers either to the plant’s knobby, stone-hard root or to the mountaineers’ use of a tea brewed from the root as a diuretic in the treatment of kidney or bladder stones.
Collinsonia Canadensis Extract contains volatile oils, tannins, and saponins. Stoneroot extract is known to have a mineral and organic content that offers a soothing effect on the skin. It is used in a plant-based antioxidant complex NAB ® GrassRoots Extract that incorporates the protective nutrients of wheatgrass and ricegrass along with the soothing reparative properties of stone root in this botanical blend.
