FAQs Simply Flower Power Cream
Q. Who can benefit from using Simply Flower Power Cream?
A. People of all ages may and do use this cream. It has been observed to alleviate pain in both mild and severe conditions and the active ingredients are totally natural.
Q. Can Simply Flower Power Cream be used during pregnancy?
A. Yes, if you are pregnant you may use the cream on your back ache or any other ache or pain. It is one of the few pain relieving creams that is not contra-indicated during pregnancy. If in doubt, show the list of ingredients (article 9) to your doctor and ask him for his advice.
Q. Can Simply Flower Power Cream be used on babies?
A. Yes, you may use the cream on your baby. As with anything else you use for the first time on your baby, try it on a small area of skin first and watch for any reaction. If there is no adverse effect, you could massage the cream gently on to your baby's feet to calm him/her down, or over his/her spine and whole back. The cream may also help relieve the tummy pain of colic - massage it gently over the tummy in a clockwise direction. Some parents use it for nappy rash but make sure you have washed the baby's bottom first with a mild soap, and try it on a small area first.
Q. Can Simply Flower Power help with the pain of Crohn's disease and Multiple Sclerosis?
A. Simply Flower Power Cream is not directed at any specific type of pain. It simply returns the area of the body experiencing pain to the best state of health it possibly can be in at any specific time. The effect this has is to reduce or eliminate pain. The abdominal cramps experienced by patients with Crohn's disease do respond to an application of this cream as several of my clients have asserted to me. The same applies to the severe pain suffered by people with Multiple Sclerosis. I have been told that the pain becomes more tolerable and helps the person reduce their reliance on pain killers. So the answer, yes, I would definitely recommend you try Simply Flower Power Cream to reduce the pain of Crohn's disease and Multiple Sclerosis.
Q. What are the ingredients in Simply Flower Power Cream?
A. The active ingredients are flower essences and St John's Wort in homeopathic form (in homeopathic form there are no contraindications to the use of St John's Wort, unlike in the oil or herbal form). The cream base is a natural moisturising cream. It contains no sodium lauryl sulphate, parabeens, artificial colours or perfumes. There are also no animal derived ingredients and the cream is listed as Cruelty Free/Vegan with the Cruelty Free Association. A full list of all the ingredients is on the Articles page. Go to: Article 9.
Q. The colour of the cream in different batches seems to vary from white, to pale yellow, to slightly pink. Is this normal?
A. Yes, this is absolutely normal. The oils used in the cream are all natural and in nature, colours vary. So sometimes one oil may be slightly darker and this can give a slight variation in the final colour of the cream. Also, with age, the oils do change colour slightly. This does not affect the efficacy of the cream in any way whatsoever.
Q. How often should I apply Simply Flower Power Cream?
A. You can use the cream as often as you need to until you obtain relief of your pain or discomfort. If your pain is very severe, you could apply it every five minutes until the pain has considerably lessened and then use it every half hour to one hour as required. For milder pain, apply the cream whenever the pain is present. One or two applications each time may be sufficient. You can't really overuse it.
Q. How fast can I expect to feel pain relief?
A. Depending on the severity of the pain, the relief could be immediate (this is often the case if you have only just hurt yourself) or it could take a few applications over a period of half an hour to one hour for substantial relief to be obtained. Long standing conditions may take longer but most people are really surprised and impressed at how fast the cream works.
Many people comment on how they don't feel the pain going away, it just isn't there anymore after a while (short or longer while as stated above) and they only realize that their pain or discomfort has gone away in hindsight.
When I was first asking patients in my clinic to trial my pain relief creams, they would often look at me with a strange look when I asked them if it had helped them and they would then say:" I don't really know but the pain has gone!" I believe this is because the cream does not suppress the pain, it actually helps the body return to a state of harmony. For example, we are not aware of 'not being in pain' when our body is in functioning well, and this is the state that the cream returns you to. For example, are we really aware of 'not having toothache'? No, but when we do have a toothache, it's the only thing we are aware of! Take the toothache away, and we just feel 'normal'. The cream returns us to a state of 'normal' and it does this so gently that we don't have a strong awareness of this happening.
Q. Are there any contra-indications to the use of Simply Flower Power Cream?
A. We have had no complaints in the nearly ten years of the cream being on the market regarding allergic reactions as the active ingredients are all natural and the cream base is also made to a very natural formula with no irritating ingredients.
If you are very allergic to lavender whether as a plant or an oil, then try the cream first before you buy. Many stores have tester jars or you may email us and ask for a sample to be sent to you. As there is only a very small amount of lavender oil in each jar and the oil used is 100% essential oil of lavender of high quality, it is very rare for any allergic reaction to occur. A jar of cream without lavender oil can be made on special request. Send us an enquiry if you are interested in this option. Go to Contact us page for our details.
If you have a serious known allergy, we advise you to check the ingredients list (Article 9) to see if there is anything there that you might be sensitive to.
If you are taking arthritic medication or blood thinners, Simply Flower Power Cream is usually safe to use. Many of our customers tell us that they take medication for arthritis. If in doubt, please take the list of ingredients to your medical practitioner and let him/her advise you.
Q. Can Simply Flower Power Cream help my arthritic pain?
A. Many of our customers suffering from arthritis tell us that using our cream has really helped them. Where there is a lot of bone degeneration, as sometimes happens in knee or hip joints, there may be less or no pain relief due to the action of 'bone rubbing on bone'. Other than that, the response as been generally positive. We have many loyal customers who like to have a spare jar in the cupboard to avoid running out.
Q. What other conditions has Simply Flower Power helped?
A. Our testimonials will give you a good idea of the many varied uses our customers have for our cream. Go to 7.Simply Flower Power Pain Relief & Moisturising Cream Testimonials on the Articles page for more details. Our customers use our cream for bumps and bruises, sprains and muscular aches, tennis elbow, neck and back pain, headaches, tummy aches, foot pain. Many people also like to use it as a skin moisturiser and relaxant.
Q. Can Simply Flower Power Cream help skin problems such as dry skin, acne, eczema and psoriasis?
A. Dry skin: elderly people love our cream as it not only takes away pain but takes the dry feeling in their skin away as well. It is also an excellent moisturiser which can be worn under make up on a daily basis and applied last thing at night as a skin relaxing cream. It also an excellent hand cream.
Acne: We have had several customers tell us that the cream has helped their acne (both juvenile and mature). They say that it doesn't stop the spots from appearing but the cream seems to help the spots heal faster, making 'spot free' times longer.
Eczema, and psoriasis: the cream seems to help stop the itchiness of these conditions. In this way, it tends to prevent children as well as adults from scratching so much, so the condition doesn't get as severe. Dr Read recommends you see a naturopath to see how your digestion system is working as many people suffering from skin conditions sometimes have an underlying digestive problem as well.
Q. Does Simply Flower Power Cream have a strong scent?
A. No, the cream does not have a strong scent. We have purposely kept it that way. The lavender oil has a very mild perfume which is undetectable once the cream has penetrated the skin.
Q. Is Simply Flower Power Cream oily?
A. No, the cream does not feel oily. You will find that it rubs into the skin very easily and leaves it feeling soft but not oily.
