Nature's Cure is an American health and beauty products company founded in 1994 by Amy Baker, who learned about homeopathic treatments while living in Germany.[1] [2] Their first products were two-part acne treatments which became available in 1995. Since then, their catalog of products has evolved to offer a variety of health and beauty products and treatments.[3] Their products use natural ingredients to complement over-the-counter medications and are not tested on animals.

Nature’s Cure is the first company to sponsor and produce a podcast on teen health issues titled: "STR8 Up – Health Talk for Teens" [4]. Hosted by Dr. Robin Miller, M.D. [5], the podcasts have covered topics such as: depression, body piercing, secondhand smoke, mononucleosis, stress, and obesity.

In 2001, the company made the Inc. 500 list [6] and the San Francisco Business Times' "Top 150 fastest-growing privately held companies in the San Francisco Bay Area" [7].

[edit] Acne Treatments

Nature’s Cure’s flagship 2-Part Acne Treatments treat acne both internally and externally. Internally, all-natural, homeopathic tablets stimulate the body’s defenses to help stop acne where it starts. Externally, the Benzoyl Peroxide vanishing cream kills the bacteria that causes acne and also contains aloe and allantoin to prevent the skin from over-drying. Nature’s Cure 2-Part Acne Treatments have specific formulations for males and females. [8]

Nature’s Cure other acne products include Body Acne Treatment Spray, the Anti-Acne Papaya Skin-Care System, and the Anti-Acne Face & Body Shower Kit.

[edit] Feminine Care

Nature's Cure has a line of feminine care products for yeast infections (candidiasis) including: Nature's Cure 1-Day or 3-Day Yeast Infection Convenience Pack with vaginal anti-fungal treatment (using tioconazole or miconazole nitrate, respectively) and all-natural homeopathic tablets, as well as Nature's Cure Yeast Control Capsules. [9] The Convenience Packs treat the symptoms of a yeast infection, and stimulate the body’s defenses to fight yeast overgrowth. The Yeast Control Capsules help the body maintain an internal environment that does not promote yeast proliferation. Like the 2-Part Acne Treatments, Nature’s Cure yeast infection products rely on the Law of Similars, one of the main principles of homeopathy.
