We spent our last night and day in the South Island with our dear friends Dot and Georgia and their three sons. Dot and Georgia grow peonies but not so much for their beautiful flowers but for their roots. Originally, they had decided to plant peonies to export the blooms but on researching the flowers, they found that the roots of the flowers had traditionally been used as a natural solution to skin conditions. Their own sons had really bad eczema so Dot and Georgia decided to try developing their own creams and lotions to see if it would help their sons. And they did, amazingly well. So now they have a thriving business, exporting various creams, lotions and soaps around the world. We can confirm from the personal experience of friends and family, that the products they produce are incredibly effective. So if you know someone who suffers from eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or sensitive skin, we highly recommend that you go to their website at http://www.purepeony.com and check out their products.
Unfortunately, while we were there the flowers had already been harvested, but the property is still beautiful as is their house which is over 100 years old.
