Caster Oil

Natural detoxification is occurring all the time through our liver, skin, colon and kidneys however we are being so inadvertently drowned in poisons that it is important to make an extra special effort to become aware of how we can mitigate this threatening state.

Personally I try to do the following:

Drink 8-10 glasses of pure water a day (not in plastic bottles), to flush my kidneys

I have a home filtration system at the source to provide clean water.

I sweat in an infra red sauna at least twice a week and dry brush my skin followed by a cold shower.

I eat only clean, unprocessed, organic food

I eat fiber in the form of green and coloured vegetables and take a binder at night to help eliminate toxins through my colon

I exercise every day, building muscle and cardiovascular training to help my lymphatic system flush toxins

I user only water, vinegar and eucalyptus oil when cleaning my house

I avoid the dry cleaner

I try not to connect with printer ink and leave my receipts behind at the store

I try to use clean personal care which brings me to the amazing benefits of caster oil.

Castor oil has a variety of health and cosmetic benefits. It is a vegetable oil that comes from the castor bean plant, rich in ricinoleic acid—a type of fatty acid with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties.

Using castor oil as a natural remedy dates back thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, castor oil was used to soothe dry eyes and relieve constipation. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine castor oil has been used to improve arthritis pain and treat skin conditions and dissolve cysts.

It can be taken orally or applied directly to the skin.

Rich in fatty acids, castor oil has moisturizing qualities however, it is thick, so I dilute it with a carrier oil such as almond, or sesame oil and then I add a concoction of all the other oils that I have recently collected.

There is no right nor wrong blend; use your intuition and sense of smell to create a luxurious oil blend that will nourish your face and body. 

Other oils that I add:

Frankincense essential oil, a few drops helps to reduce fine lines and tighten lose skin

Black seed oil which is a potent anti-oxidant.

Dewey Cacao oil also rich in antioxidants

Black Gram oil tightens crepey skin

Helychrisum strengthens blood vessels and reduces redness

Slather yourself after your shower and watch your skin flourish.
