*Our Herbalist is passionate about Target Cream and compliance with the
recommended usage. This product was formulated for a personally debilitating condition.
Designed for those with special concerns, it will help
prevent and control viral (such as Herpes I & II
& Shingles), and bacterial (such as acne) outbreaks, while providing the same exquisite skin care conditioning and recovery as our Hive Isolates TM Line,
which means rapid repair of tissue and avoidance of scarring. This product's lemon balm concentration is the first with
this percentage in the U.S.A. Our Hive Isolates TM (propolis extract) have been combined with organic Lemon Balm and
Echinacea extracts grown and cultivated on Meadowlake
Farm, to create this truly outstanding therapy which
may be used to treat all areas of concern besides the face, including delicate personal skin areas. This
is our first line of defense for those with acutely troubled skin, to be followed with maintenance care using our Prevention
Complex.
Lemon
Balm (Melissa officinalis) is used as a pharmaceutical
in Europe for the treatment of oral and genital herpes, cold sores, canker sores, shingles and chicken pox. It is effective
against bacterial infections of the skin as well. It is the base in the German pharmaceutical product Lomaherpan, which contains a 1% concentration. Our
cream contains a 10% concentration of our own fresh,
organic herbal extract. Backed by extensive European research this herb has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-histamine,
anti-itch, anti-tingling, antiseptic, decreases pain and antioxidant actions. In addition, it is known to soothe bothersome
insect bites and chronic skin inflammation.
Echinacea (Purple Coneflower) is also used in Europe to reduce the severity and duration of viral symptoms.
In 2006 it was approved in Germany as a pharmaceutical skin care treatment for viral and bacterial infections, inflammation
and other skin problems. Clinical trials showed an 85% or greater efficacy rate. In addition, it reduces skin
damage caused by sunlight.
Research shows
honey and propolis effectively deal with these concerns as well, then there is our proprietary Hive Isolates TM...Is it hope
in a jar? It certainly is, in fact, we think it is nothing short of miraculous!

Recently,
our herbalist had the opportunity to discuss concerns regarding cystic acne with one of our customers. Our dear friend, reminded
us of the difficulty she faces with this skin condition. She shared frustrations because cystic acne is a slow healing skin
condition. We encourage you to read this essay under our "Customer Forum" tab. This particular essay expresses Meadowlake
Farm's healing philosophy and how we see our products as one of many tools an individual needs to explore in order to positively
impact healing.
