A former Londoner is returning home to the UK to launch an organic ‘healing’ oil range following successful launches in the United States, Australia and Jamaica.
During a trip to Jamaica from the US in 2008, Sandra Gustard, better known as Lady English, founder of Fountain Pimento Oil, discovered the healing benefits of the island’s hot mineral springs and the lowly pimento. Suffering from a herniated disc and pinched nerve she found almost immediate pain relief after applying pimento oil to her body.
On her return home to New York, the London-born entrepreneur came up with the idea of launching Fountain Pimento Oil for people suffering from arthritis and other rheumatic ailments. Pimento, which is better known as allspice in some countries, has long since been recognised as having many health benefits and is used for a multitude of ailments. Indigenous to the Caribbean Islands, pimento is believed to be the only spice which is grown solely in the western hemisphere.
“When I first brought Fountain Pimento Oil out I would give free massages at nursing homes and churches. Now through word of mouth and promotion, we have customers all over the world, from Dubai, through to Australia, and USA,” says Lady English.
“I am now ready to introduce it to Europe, starting with my home, the UK,” she continues. “As a daughter of London, it is fitting that finally my company has the opportunity to come home”.
Sandra will be launching the full range of “Fountain” brand at this year’s Afro Hair & Beauty LIVE event on May 24th-25th in London. Afro Hair & Beauty LIVE is probably the UK’s oldest and longest running Black hair and beauty exhibition.
