Skin Care and Simply Divine Botanicals by Dr. Gabriel Cousens MD
Recently, when I was doing a workshop in Las Vegas, I went to visit Barbara Rogers at Simply Divine Botanicals. I was amazed at the energy she created at her place. She seemed like a mother fairy with her little fairies working around her, creating these amazing skin products. Barbara is a healer in her own right, as well as a Master Herbalist. The principle that intrigued me with her work was that she energized all her products with heart-felt love, good intentions, and Reiki. Based on her herbal mastery in the use of aromatic oils, she had also used these principles to activate the acupuncture meridians with her skin products in a way that seemed to create systemic healing as well as activating the skin’s own energies. Barbara had been working on the skin care products in an unusual way, making them without any toxic chemicals or additives. The answer came to her of how to do this through prayer. What she received was how to make skin care products, not only without toxins, but which raise people’s vibrational energy. Sometimes people look askance at the focus on the skin. But it’s helpful to understand the skin is the largest surface area organ on the body, and our work at the Tree of Life, as we look at the skin, is how to create an outer radiance that reflect our inner radiance. I believe that Simply Divine Botanicals, made by this group of “holy fairies,” really achieves that purpose.
We’ve been using the products at the Tree for several years and have been quite pleased with them. Some of the most exciting products include Keeping Abreast of It, which is especially good for the lymphatic system in general, but specifically good for breast lymphatic congestion, and breast cysts. I’ve used it with very good results in women with these kinds of issues. It seems to be good for all lymphatic drainage and circulation and because of its aromatherapeutic effects on the meridians that stimulate lymphatic circulation, I use it for people who have lymphatic congestion any part of the body, as well as the breasts.
Barbara has also developed, with the use of a very rare oil called tamanu oil, from the tamanu berry, some very interesting remedies. She makes very delightful names; one of them is called Pack Your Bags, They're Leaving. Many people suffer from under-eye puffiness, and this is a remedy put under your eyes that really makes the puffiness move away, and also helps strengthen kidney function. She also has a product called Skincredible, made from this tamaru oil, which she finds to be very helpful with herpes, eczema, burns, acne, varicose veins, arthritis, and pain in general. This product has just come out, and it has amazing testimonials. Another interesting product of hers is called Face the Day. It’s a firming seaweed serum that seems to be quite popular and it is exceptionally good for sun-damaged skin. It really comes in two steps: Face the Day, which is a seaweed serum, made from 100% pure brown seaweed extract and essential oils. You follow this up with a dilution of that, called Plump Up The Volume, made of the same things. The French have been very passionate about seaweed therapies for years. It is part of what is called thalassotherapy. Seaweed concentrates all of the ocean’s nutrients in the same perfect balance for humans. According to Dan Fryda, author of Oceans Within, seaweed, “…. whether eaten or applied topically via micronized seaweed products, is virtually a perfect substance for the body and skin providing the richest source of minerals, trace elements, amino acids, anti oxidants, phytohormones, polysaccharides and enzymes found anywhere in nature.” Seaweeds and algae possess super human-friendly protective substances. Some of the benefits include: anti aging skincare; increased skin UV tolerance; cold sore (herpes) infection, possible STD prevention, and weight loss. She has also made a very effective analgesic balm called Hot 4 You.
Barbara’s work has also yielded products for the more traditional skin care approaches, such as the Gypsy Rose tea astringent, which was inspired by a 1500-year old formula made by the Gypsies for the Queen of Hungary. This is a blend that she infuses for six weeks and adds a few additional herbs. The benefits are for all the skin types. It keeps the skin fresh all day long and soothes dry, irritated skin.
The main principle in offering these skin care products is the suggestion that we can honor ourselves by using them, increasing our outer radiance as a reflection for the inner radiance. By developing our outer radiance we build up our inner radiance. It’s a real gift that she’s given to us. Simply Divine Botanicals is of course available at the Awakened Living Shoppe, and online. I encourage you to give yourself a treat by rebalancing your skin energies, and therefore rebalancing your system.
Another advantage of these oils and creams is that they serve a very important Ayurvedic principle of balancing vata, and most people, in the stress of our modern-day life, have a tendency to become vata-deranged. I have found these oils effective for balancing the vata energy, which is reflected in a rough, dry skin and an irritated nervous system. The Ayurvedic principle, which we do detail with our Panchakarma massage and the only live-food Panchakarma seven-day program in the world, is effective for both detoxification and rejuvenation. It is most effective for balancing and healing vata. It’s a whole other way to create calm, peace, and joy in your life.

I have never ever written a thank you letter or any kind of review to a skin care company before; I've never felt the need to before. I am still ordering your sample size products to determine which ones I like the best, but so far I'm am surpisingly pleased. I actually came across your link on the one lucky duck website. I was looking at the Raw Food book on the web site & noticed that she, the author, had several "recommended products" listed at the bottom. Your products were listed & I was intrigued by the descriptions of your products.
Let me start back at the beginning. I was blessed growing up to have a clear and smooth complexion. I rarely ever got a zit and people always told me what beautiful skin I had. After I had my first child my skin looked even better! But, after my second child was born it wasn't quite as smooth as it once was. I started to get breakouts, my pores looked clogged, and the texture of my skin wasn't as even & just looked ruddier. After my third child my skin only got worse. As soon as I got one breakout to clear up I got another. I now have light acne scarring. I have tried products for combination skin, oily skin, dry & sensitive, & normal skin. I have seen mild improvements but they never last. My breakouts are always worse right before that time of the month starts. I have watched my skin age dramatically in just a few short years because of all my skin breakouts. Nothing has worked. I've tried proactive & just as soon as it would start working, my skin would start flaking & peeling. If I used something to try and counter act the dryness then my skin just seemed to break out even more. I've tried cheap products, mid-range, and even a few expensive products. I've tried multiple organic skin care lines & traditional OTC skin care lines too. Nothing has worked. Now I have also gained weight over my last two pregnancies & don't drink as much water or exercise as much as I know I should. I know that is some of the problem, but I eat very healthy. I have started to drink more water & am slowly getting back into an exercise routine. Those things are only a small part of the solution. I have been struggling over the past 5 years to find something that works on the outside too to help give me back the glowing skin I once had.
I've lost count of all the times I've broken down into tears over the condition of my skin. I never used to have to wear makeup and was always a little grossed out when I saw a woman who was wearing too much makeup. Now I am one of those women. I get breakouts that are so bad that I have to cake on the makeup. The worst part of it is is that the makeup doesn't cover up the breakouts. Not even close. You can still see the breakouts and the poor condition of my skin, but walking around w/ too much makeup is still an improvement to walking around showing all my acne scars and current breakout. Anyways, I ordered my first round of your sample sizes a couple of weeks ago. I got the can't zit here cleanser, the tea toner, the amazing face, honey I shrunk your pores, & the pack your bags eye treatment. Let me say WOW!!! Nothing I have ever tried has worked this well this fast. When my first order arrived it was right before that time of the month. Usually I get an array of new zits on my chin & jaw line & my pores look dirtier around that time too. This time while using your products, I only got a tiny little break out, 3 pimples, which healed very quickly. Even those new zits that I got while using your products didn't look they were infected and ready to explode. They were manageable & looked decent under my makeup. Also, the rest of my skin tone has evened out again & some of my old natural glow has returned! My pores no longer look clogged and nasty. My skin overall looks clearer & healthier.
To be honest, I'm trying not to get too excited too soon. I have always been disappointed in the past. But I am hopeful. I just orders some of your sandalwood elixir for scarring & the other face scrub and the creme de rose moisturizer. I still have samples of the cleanser & toner left. I'm excited to find out if my skin keeps improving. I wanted to write now just to say thank you. Your products have provided me with more relief from my skin in 2 weeks than anything I've ever used before! If your products continue to work than I will be forever thankful!! -- Gabriella

"I read the letters from your clients and hoped that I would follow in their footsteps in gratitude. Well, here I am, 50ishhhhhh! For the last year I have noticed the bags, (more on top of my cheek bone) were becoming constant companions. I became depressed about facing the day with my face. I have a young spirit and fairly youthful overall appearance, but; these bags were really affecting my feeling of well being. I ordered "Pack Your Bags They're leaving, 5 days ago. They were here in 2 days, (WoW) and I have used the product morning and night for 3 days.
This morning I kept looking in the mirror from all light perspectives and found I was smiling at myself. The bags have diminished by about 75% and I am GRATEFULL! Please note, I also watched my diet and drank water in an effort to Colon-Liver-Kidney Cleanse.
I am back on the web site and am going to order the Seaweed Sample Pack.
I have never written a review, With Love and Gratitude", E. Alexandra, Whistler, Canada

I've tried every remedy. Most only made things WORSE! The results from Pack Your Bags initially was visible, but the marked difference came when I put Pack Your Bags on before bedtime. For 6 months now, when I wake, my eyes are super puffy. This makes me want to cry but the only reason I don't is that it will only make things worse! Vanity prevents me from shedding bitter tears!!! This morning, after putting Pack Your Bags on the night before, I awoke to eyes that were almost considered normal! I jumped for joy that, finally, a product kept it's promise. Pack Your Bags should be in every woman's beauty arsenal.

"I'm a new user of your products. My sister, Shannon Sprague turned me on to them when I was recently diagnosed with Rosacea. The dermatologist gave some perceptive face wash and topical cream and it just made my Rosacea worse. I've always had beautiful skin and have never had to wear makeup. I've been having to wear makeup for the last 6 months because my skin was so bad. I've been using your products for a month now and I can't tell you how grateful I am to you and your products. Today is the first day in 6 months that I've been able to walk out the door with NO MAKEUP!! Thank you so much for giving me my confidence back!!"
