🌵 Chaparral (Larrea tridentata)

Desert Detox Herb — Potent Antioxidant for External Cleansing & Skin Health

Chaparral, also known as Creosote Bush or Greasewood, is a hardy desert plant native to the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Known for its distinct, rain-soaked aroma, this powerful botanical has long been valued for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and skin-supporting properties.

While chaparral is not recommended for internal use due to potential liver and kidney toxicity, it remains a respected herb for topical applications such as salves, tinctures, and ointments designed to support skin health and external detoxification.
