"Botanical Topicals Are A Gift From Nature"

"Botanical Topicals Are A Gift From Nature"

In the dense rainforests of Gunung Leuser National Park, Indonesia, an extraordinary event unfolded that has captivated scientists and nature enthusiasts alike. Rakus, a male Sumatran orangutan, showcased an incredible act of self-care by using a medicinal plant to treat a facial wound. This remarkable behavior highlights not only the innate wisdom of our primate cousins but also underscores the healing power of natural remedies—a principle central to our philosophy at Deeply Rooted Organics.

A Lesson from Rakus

Rakus’s choice of Akar Kuning (Fibraurea tinctoria), a plant known locally for its potent medicinal properties, to treat his wound is a testament to the natural world's resourcefulness. Scientists observed Rakus meticulously chewing the plant and applying its juices to his wound, effectively creating a natural poultice that aided in his healing process. Within days, the wound began to close, demonstrating the plant’s antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties.

The Power of Botanicals

Just as Rakus instinctively turned to nature for healing, we too harness the power of botanicals in our natural, organic topicals. Each ingredient in our products is selected for its proven benefits, much like the Akar Kuning used by Rakus. We believe that nature offers the best solutions for our skincare needs, providing gentle yet effective care without the harsh chemicals found in many conventional products.
