The beautiful benefits of buchu

Buchu is a small, shrubby plant that is native to South Africa. It has been used for centuries by the region's indigenous people for its medicinal properties. Buchu has a strong, aromatic scent and is commonly used as an herbal remedy for digestive issues. It is also known to help relieve inflammation and muscle pain. The buchu leaf can be consumed in tea form or applied topically as an essential oil.

In recent years, buchu has gained popularity as an ingredient in natural skin care products such as soaps and lotions. Thanks to its unique properties, buchu is an effective way to support overall health and wellbeing.

  • BuchuVida natural products are crafted with sensitive skin at the forefront of our development process and intended to reduce any pre-existing irritation.

  • No, one of the reasons we created our natural deodorant was to get away from potentially harmful antiperspirants. Sweating is an essential body function, but it doesn't have to stink. This is where the buchu comes in. Its natural anti-bacterial properties allow you to sweat while keeping you odor-free.
