Herb a Day Campaign: Kallawalla | Polypodium leucotomos

Herb a day Campaign : Kallawalla. Love the skin you’re in! There’s a lot of different spellings for this herb: Kalawalla and Calaguala included. Man o man, what this herb can do for the skin. This pretty little fern has the ability to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Or some of those rays anyways. It reduces sunburn severity. It’s been used extensively for Vitiligo. (I’ve seen this with my own two great hazel eyes). Some people say it decreases the overgrowth of skin cells in cases of keloid scarring. It protects against sun induced skin damage. Kallawalla is also a beast when it comes to modulating the immune system. This seems most prominent in cases of auto immune disorders. Of course there’s always a person by person thing that goes on with healing. In general I love this herb. It’s anti inflammatory effects have also helped people with psoriasis. Really almost anyone could benefit from this herbs in cases where the skin needs to be protected and healed. I’ve used it in conjunction with lots of herbs. Cat’s Claw, Turmeric, Frankincense and Yucca. This herb really deserves for you to pay attention to it and do some more research if you feel like it might benefit you. #herbs #kallawalla #kalawalla #calaguala #herbslist #herbadaycampaign #healing #skin #psoriasis #keloids #spf #sun #masterherbalist #naturespharmacy #knowledge #knowbetterdobetter
