| Frequently Asked Questions | |
| Q:
Is it okay to apply more than one Mobu Herb-dicinal Balm at the same time, or is it necessary to wait and use them separately? A: Since each of the Balms has a different and specific purpose, there is no problem or negative reaction if you mix and match. For instance: you could rub our X-tracting Balm on a pimple, sore, rash or other skin abnormality - then apply the S.O.S. Balm for dry hands and other chapped skin. Another example: you could use the Vitality Balm on pulse points for energy and overall immune system revitalizing, then apply the Women's 35+ on inner thighs and breasts for hormonal rebalancing. You could even use the E-Z Lax rubbed onto the abdomen along with the other two Balms, if also experiencing constipation. Q: How often throughout the day is it safe to apply Mobu Herb-dicinal Balms? A: Although our Herb-dicinal Balms are completely safe and non-toxic, common sense is always a good guideline. Herbs afterall, have natural medicinal properties which is what makes them so effective. The rule of thumb for all therapeutic remedies (both natural and conventional), is that "more is not always better!" Therefore, it is suggested that you adhere to the recommendations on the product label. Waiting approximately 4 hours between applications is a sensible dosage. AM Pain Balm may be applied in shorter intervals as needed, when dealing with a painful injury. Please exercise caution when choosing the appropriate timing to apply the PM Pain Balm and the KavaCalm, as both of these formulations contain calming, relaxing herbs that may make you drowsy. Q: What is the difference between Mobu's X-tracting Balm verses a similar formulation on the market known as Black Salve? A: X-tracting Balm gently pulls impurities from the body. We have heard from many of our customers that the Black Salve can be quite harsh, resulting in severe skin damage. Mobu's X-tracting Balm is much more gentle and healing to the skin, yet is equally as effective. Even though we use the potent detoxifiers Bloodroot and Chaparral (the same as the Black Salve), that's where the similarity ends! We are proud to say that our ingredients are entirely organic and wildcrafted, and also include powerful antibiotic compounds such as Golden Seal, Echinacea, Burdock and Tea Tree Oil, that work synergistically, assisting in the overall healing process. X-tracting Balm is also an excellent formula for severe acne, bug bites, stings, open sores, etc. Q: Do any of Mobu's Herb-dicinal Balms contain sunscreen? A: This is something that we feel very passionately against! We do not add sunscreen of any kind to our products. In addition to the fact that sunscreen ingredients are not organic and actually quite toxic to the body - always remember that our skin is our largest, most absorbent organ and what we put on our skin should be equally as important as what we put in our bodies. A good rule of thumb is, "would you feel comfortable eating each and every ingredient contained in your skincare products" - because in essence, that is precisely what you are doing! Q: How long does it take for E-Z Lax to start working? A: Of course, each person's body is unique, but most people begin experiencing results within the hour. Be sure you rub the E-Z Lax Balm into palms first (to be absorbed by the nerve endings there) and then apply liberally onto abdomen area. If no results within 4 hours, repeat application. |
| Q: What is the method of action that makes the Mobu Herb-dicinal Balms so effective? A: Mobu's Herb-dicinal Balms utilize our proprietary Penetrating Dermal Infusions (PDI™) delivery system to promote rapid, complete absorption of the healing herbs directly into the body without the necessity of the rough transit through the digestive tract and liver (liver metabolism can reduce the bio-availability of the active ingredients by 80-90%.) Mobu's unique PDI delivery system incorporates a double steam-distillation process that allows the herbs to synergize for up to a week, resulting in super-penetrating transdermal infusions. Q: Do the Gourmet Lip Balms contain flavorings? A: No! We are proud to say that the exotic scents and flavor varieties of our Gourmet Lip Balms are made ONLY with organic essential oils! No flavorings (natural or artificial) are ever used in our products. In addition, the ingredients in our Gourmet Lip Balms are 100% organic, and never contain potentially toxic methyl solicylate (wintergreen). Q: What is the full definition of "transdermal" and why it is such an effective delivery system? A: If you were to breakdown the word "transdermal" into two separate words, it could be literally defined as "transport" through the "skin". Dating back 5,000 years to the origins of Homeopathy, till the early part of the 20th Century, a proven method for transporting healing compounds directly into the bloodstream was "transdermally". This efficient, effective, fast acting method has once again risen to the forefront of modern-day science in a multitude of pharmaceutical applications, as well as topical skin patches for weight loss, quitting smoking, birth control, etc. Transdermal delivery systems avoid many inherent variables associated with oral alternatives including fluctuating transit times through the body, interaction with digestive fluids, in addition to overall side effects. Q: Would Mobu Herb-dicinal Balms be classified as "Aromatherapy"? A: "Aromatherapy" is typically defined as "a holistic treatment based on the external use of concentrated essential plant oils, with purported healing properties that promote physical, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing." According to this standard definition, Mobu Herb-dicinal Balms could indeed be considered as aroma-therapeutic, since we do incorporate some aromatherapy oils into our formulations for their supportive healing applications. However, we've taken this timeless, proven science many levels further by synergizing whole herbs for up to a week in organic olive and organic coconut oils, along with the aromatherapy oils, thereby creating an enhanced formulation that rapidly transports these Herb-dicinal plant compounds directly into the bloodstream where they are most effective. Q: What was the inspiration for the Mobu Herb-dicinal formulations and unique PDI delivery system? A: Real life events are always the most potent catalyst for creative endeavors. All of Mobu's formulations were developed by Janell Cole, Naturopathic Doctor and Master Herbalist in response to the many diverse health conditions she has encountered through patients in her practice, many of whom were unable to properly assimilate the herbal remedies she recommended in oral form. Janell's extensive background in both naturopathic healing and herbology provided the experience necessary to successfully develop the perfect solution ~ topical application of the healing compounds through the skin. Today, after many years of proven results with her patients, the Mobu Herb-dicinal Balms are now available to the public. |
