Creating antidotes to modern life, inspired by the healing power of nature.
MUJŌS STORY
After experiencing burnout during the early nineties, Mujō’s founder directed her energy towards holistic therapies, to restore balance of body and mind. This naturally led to the deep study of western and eastern plant medicine.
She holds an Honour’s degree in Phytotherapy (Herbal Medicine), a science based medical practice, weaving together medical skills and knowledge, with a scientific understanding of plants and their effects on the body. It’s roots are steeped in traditional knowledge, using extracts of natural origin for therapeutic purposes, tailoring unique prescriptions for each individual.
Phytotherapy is a holistic, complementary discipline, where four years of high quality training were undertaken, enabling her to become a licensed practitioner. The study of pharmacognosy- the physical, biochemical and biological properties of plants- was undertaken, enabling her to gain a solid understanding and appreciation of therapeutic plants and their constituents. Her studies also included health sciences, clinical medicine, pharmacology and nutrition.
Deborah’s expertise
With a passion for plants that heal, she has mastered combinations for therapeutic plant teas and liquid plant extracts, becoming proficient at formulating and blending with the riches of nature.
With the birth of the 2019 pandemic, a much slower pace of life came into being, where contemplation, research and knowledge were deepened. This led to a range of palm free, traditional artisan soaps to be born. Proving very popular within the local community - who sampled the bars - Mujō’s body and wellness collection slowly came into being, creating holistic, gender-less, natural vegan skincare and well-being preparations. A small selection of organic artisan products make up Mujo’s range, which include natural, handmade soap, bath and body oils, serums, herbal tea blends, body lotions, herbal food supplements (tinctures), massage oils and organic essential oils.
“Mujō’s plant based skincare and well-being collection, is a coming together of all that matters to me; authentic clean beauty, sustainability, highly active and cruelty free. I’ve chosen a few of my favourite formulations to offer you, for body and mind, as I believe that beauty is in the well-being of both. I’m inspired by the connection between the olfactory system and our emotions. I see scent as a simple gateway to beautiful feelings and associations, in every day rituals of self-care. I hope you find something in Mujō’s collection, whether that be based on their healing qualities, or purely for their scents!”
