Marisol: Thanks a lot, Katie. I simply love chatting with you and all of the Wellness Mama Darlings on the market.

Katie: I’m excited to speak once more and I believe that is very well timed dialog as a result of Castor Oil is actually gaining loads of traction. I see it on social media on a regular basis and I really feel like there’s some vital caveats we’re going to get to delve into once you’re utilizing Castor Oil. However earlier than we get to that matter, I even have a notice out of your bio that you’ve got a gentle well being retreat dependancy and I need to hear about this and in addition what’s essentially the most impactful one you’ve ever been to?

Marisol: Superior. Yeah, I’ve been over the previous couple of years truly, since COVID I’ve been exploring the retreat world just because for me, Castor Oil Packs, I acquired into Castor oil packs, as a result of Castor Oil Packs have been what shifted stress for me. And I noticed that in our busy day-to-day life, it’s fairly intense and it’s exhausting to generally do what it’s worthwhile to do so as to and be taught the practices and undertake them right into a each day common ritual.

And I discovered that the adoption of going to retreats truly actually helps to do this since you say take per week and even as much as 4 days, I believe you want a minimal of three to 4 days to go on a reasonably respectable retreat. However you go. After which what finally ends up occurring is you be taught all these new expertise and also you observe them day-in and day-out. However then once you come again into your regular day-to-day loopy youngsters operating round, driving, all that shebang that we have now to do as mother, after which we get again into the swing of issues. However we now are within the swing of issues with these new adopted well being practices. And at the same time as a naturopathic physician, I’m not excellent both and I fall off the bandwagon on a regular basis and I acquired to get again to it. So I simply discover my scheduling in my retreats on a daily quarterly foundation simply actually helps me to have the ability to simply reset and get again into my common observe and routine that’s so important for staying wholesome in the long term.

Katie: I find it irresistible. I went on a ladies’s well being retreat a few years in the past and it was such a enjoyable expertise. I really feel like for me at the very least, having good relationships with ladies has at all times been slightly little bit of a wrestle. Like, I’ve a number of very shut pals, however I’ve been extra reserved in teams of girls and so it was such an incredible group and the curator did an incredible job with that. However there have been additionally all of the well being points concerned and we even one night time made drums with goat pores and skin and acquired to weave the goat pores and skin to make these drums. And it was such a cool, meditative factor that I might have by no means thought to do. However to your level, I really feel prefer it was an incredible reset. And so now I’m a giant fan of even when you’re not going to go to a well being retreat, like curate that have with native pals or like a gaggle of girls pals, as a result of I believe that point is so useful.

Marisol: It’s simply getting again to your self. Proper. And for me, one of the best one that you simply requested me was one in Puerto Vallarta. It was truly a girlfriend of mine and I’ve had the same life the place it’s been difficult to attach with ladies. However I’m engaged on that. That’s type of considered one of my objectives is to get higher ladies pals. In order that means I’ve an superior community and it was a girlfriend who I’d met on a retreat who arrange a retreat and one of many ceremonies was cacao. And so it was a coronary heart opening ceremony and it was simply stunning. And we acquired to open up our hearts with the scrumptious cacao that we created from scratch after which we danced and moved the music of all of the totally different chakras. So once more, it’s about bonding with our fellow ladies who’re additionally throughout the trade or magical as a result of we simply have such energy as ladies. I discover we actually are the earth maidens of the world and we will convey a lot to the world after we tune in. Once we tune in.

Katie: I agree. And I mentioned that so many occasions in numerous methods on this podcast of I consider mothers particularly, are such a pressure of nature and we have now a lot influence in the way in which we’re interacting with the following technology. Additionally with the way in which that we have now a lot buying energy inside society and that basically nurturing that connection may be such an impactful device for ladies, particularly.

Marisol: One million %. Yeah, I’m proper on board there with you, Katie. For certain, 100%.

Katie: I find it irresistible. Effectively, I additionally am actually excited to be taught extra from you in regards to the matter of castor oil. Like I mentioned, this appears to be having an enormous explosion on social media proper now and with good purpose. And to start out broad, I might guess most individuals by now have at the very least heard of it as a result of it’s getting so well-liked. However are you able to stroll us by what it’s and what makes it so distinctive from a well being perspective?

Marisol: Superior. Effectively, castor oil for me. I assume the easiest way that I can clarify this I used to be actually fascinated by this, and I’ve at all times considered that is there was a film again, I believe, within the 90s or the early 2000s, which was My Massive Fats Greek Wedding ceremony. And the daddy would go and take windex and spray windex on each well being boo boo. Or, like, no matter the issue was, spray windex on it. So castor oil, once I first acquired launched to it, it was about 20 years in the past once I was working within the pure well being trade. I used to be going to well being meals retailer, to well being meals retailer, physician’s workplace, to physician’s workplace. And I used to be working with a pure pharmaceutical firm then, and I acquired launched to castor oil, and it was on the backside of each single well being meals retailer shelf. And I used to be like, what does these things do? I see it in all places, however I see it dusty, I see it generally, I see it slightly bit greater, nevertheless it was at all times there it doesn’t matter what.

After which folks began telling me about issues like castor oil packs and even simply utilizing castor oil. After which I acquired the phrase which actually caught to me was that somebody in a well being meals retailer instructed me that it was the primary factor that you simply need to have in your at-home pure pharmacy cupboard. For any type of sprains, strains, boo-boos or accidents or sunburns, mosquito bites through the summertime. Actually like scrapes on the knees, something like that. Dry pores and skin. After which cosmetically as properly too. So it was each good for pharmaceutical, on your pharmacy, like your pure natural pharmacy, and your magnificence cupboard at house. And that to me was like, wow, that’s actually cool. As a result of most issues are like, they do one factor, however castor oil does so many alternative issues that it truly once I was instructed about what it truly did do, I truly felt it was slightly bit unbelievable. I’m like, wow, something that does like jack of all trades, grasp of none.

However the actuality is with castor oil is it simply actually is that type of an oil. It has so many therapeutic useful properties, and it’s most well-known within the typical medical subject for a laxative. So it was initially prescribed by many docs within the 1900 as a laxative. And it might be taking like one teaspoon to 2 teaspoons, as much as like 4 tablespoons to go to the toilet higher, after which additionally midwives and doulas would use it. I’m certain most of the mothers out right here have expertise with taking a few spoonful of castor oil to induce labor or possibly making a scrumptious shake with mango or peanut butter or one thing, or frying, I’ve even heard like, folks frying eggs with castor oil to induce labor.

So it was at all times generally known as that. It’s an oil that helps to maneuver by muscle, transfer the bowels, transfer the uterus, and put together for delivery. However again within the day, again in Hippocrates, within the outdated, outdated medical texts and again in historical Egypt, Cleopatra was utilizing it for all her beauty wants. So she was recognized for her stunning eyes and the whites of her eyes and her beautiful hair and eyebrows. And that was all attributed to castor oil. In order that was the very first use of castor oil cosmetically. After which Hippocrates on the Greek islands, he was recommending castor oil for general common wellness, like a terrain drugs, we’d say, to assist every thing that you simply do in your pure, wholesome life-style, work higher.

After which quick ahead. We’ve acquired even the normal Chinese language medical docs again within the dynasties utilizing castor oil for joint pains and irritation as a castor oil pack. After which we’ve acquired Pliny the Elder, who was treating the Empresses. And with the Empresses, he was primarily particularly treating ovarian issues, uterine issues, fibroid cysts with these castor oil packs. So we’ve simply acquired such an enormous historical past, and folks actually don’t even acknowledge that previous. Once they hear castor oil pack, they consider Edgar Cayce, who’s like the trendy prophet or one of many first Natural Pure Medical Medical doctors of America, however he was generally known as a sleeping prophet. And he’s a bit debatable as a result of some camps suppose that he may need been slightly bit into witchery or doing slightly little bit of issues off of the books. However nonetheless, he actually promoted the usage of castor oil plaques often. And I believe that that was the important thing to castor oil.

So understanding that castor oil has a number of makes use of as an oil all by itself, but additionally as these great well being selling castor oil packs, which are inclined to take it way more than identical to a laxative or a provider oil, these well being selling packs are terrain drugs, so historical drugs at its greatest.

Katie: It’s so fascinating, and I didn’t even notice it had such a protracted historical past. What are among the properties of castor oil like compounds discovered inside it? Or what makes it so capable of do all of those various things?

Marisol: So nice. Such an incredible query. Castor oil is I imply, it’s magical. I take a look at the testimonies on our web site and folks simply say, wow, this can be a sport changer. That is magical. And it’s due to all of its properties. So, primary, I believe that is a very powerful to focus on is it’s the grasp provider oil. In order a provider oil, in comparison with the rest, when you’re utilizing, say, important oils, I’m certain plenty of Wellness Mama’s love is utilizing their important oils. They’re most frequently instructed to make use of issues like candy almond, jojoba oil as a provider oil. However castor oil, I’m stunned when extra folks aren’t recommending castor oil as a result of castor oil is the grasp provider oil and will get the important oils deeper into the dermis.

All different oils maintain it on the highest layer of the pores and skin. However throughout the dermis, you’re stepping into the circulation, you’re stepping into the Lymphatic system, and also you’re stepping into the place the place you truly may be altering how the physique is functioning since you’ve acquired that matrix that connective tissue in that space the place the collagen is, proper and the place the collagen is. That’s why castor oil helps with cosmetically enhancing collagen, enhancing the tissue beneath, like plumping it up, so cosmetically you need to use it to plump up your tissues, your pores and skin, your lips, your eyes. Once you begin to discover, like, darkish circles below your eyes, you need to use Castor Oil there to plump it up.

Different actions of the oil, it’s a pure anti-inflammatory, which is nice, however I imply, plenty of issues are anti-inflammatory, proper? In order that’s not the one factor. It’s wealthy in antioxidants and the antioxidants that it’s wealthy in are Quercetin. Quercetin is an excellent, great polyphenol from the Vitamin C household. And this actually helps, I find it irresistible as a result of it helps with therapeutic of the intestine. And once more, something that has to do with Vitamin C helps with collagen formation. In order that’s including to that impact there.

It additionally helps nitric oxide manufacturing. Nitric oxide is in meals present in beets and beet greens. Now, nitric oxide, why folks find it irresistible, is as a result of it helps with oxygenation to the tissues and wherever there may be extra oxygenation, there may be more healthy cells, there’s much less growing older. So it helps that course of and that’s not solely beauty, but additionally self-care smart, proper? As a result of if we have now higher oxygenation to our digestive tract, higher oxygenation to our fingers, our toes, our nerves, our coronary heart, our lungs, properly, every thing inside our mind, every thing inside our physique will simply merely work higher. So nitric oxide selling.

On high of it, it recycles glutathione. Glutathione is an excellent costly complement that many take so as to anti-age to enhance their liver cleansing, cleaning drainage. However it’s costly, it’s not very extremely bioavailable, which suggests it’s exhausting to soak up. However in castor oil packs and castor oil, it helps to recycle your naturally produced glutathione, which is likely one of the greatest methods, what higher technique to get higher cleansing than by recycling what you naturally are already producing? In order that’s superb.

The oil, once you put it in your pores and skin topically, you truly additionally promote dopamine, which is a really feel good neurotransmitter. So I imply, the listing retains on happening. I’m not carried out. That is what I’m telling you. It appeared to me the primary time that I heard what castor oil did, I used to be like, what? Like actually? All that? That’s lots! On high of it, it’s a well-known, and that is all researched, a widely known microbiome balancer. It truly breaks down one thing generally known as biofilm. And biofilm is that nasty layer, like a protecting layer, that unhealthy micro organism, unhealthy yeasts, parasites that could be inside our gut or our mucosal membranes that they principally create as a protecting mechanism in order that they don’t get taken out of the gut and changed by good and wholesome micro organism that make us really feel higher. So Castor Oil is likely one of the only a few pure biofilm breakdown issues that break down biofilm, which is superior. In order that’s main about it. I believe that type of covers it.

So pure anti-inflammatory wealthy. In antioxidants, we acquired the biofilm balancer. It helps to maneuver easy muscle to assist induce being pregnant or labor sorry. And transfer these bowels and get our stools shifting. It additionally strikes your circulation and your Lymphatic system and it’s the grasp provider so these are really, in a nutshell, all the important actions of simply castor oil on itself by itself.

Katie: And I’d like to delve into among the particular use-cases inside figuring out these advantages as a result of like I mentioned, that is now well-liked. I’ve seen it talked about for therefore many alternative makes use of and I might love like a verify or deny, fact versus delusion type of breakdown of all these various things and in addition to speak about if there’s any danger or advantages that aren’t talked about extensively on social media. So the primary being, I’ve seen folks suggest placing this, as an example, on our eyelids or eyelashes at night time, each for eyelash development. However I even noticed an optometrist explaining that this may help promote the pure tears of the eyes and the wetness once you blink and all this stuff which are presupposed to occur. So verify pressing eye, is that this good or unhealthy? And ideas for truly doing that.

Marisol: Superior. Confirmed. It’s good. Once more, it has to do with the physiology going beneath of enhancing our hair development so you’ll be able to even lengthen it to eyebrows and the hair on the top, castor oil will enhance circulation to the world, that’s the nitric oxide impact. After which with the circulation improved to the world, what’s it going to do, it’s going to convey extra vitamins to the world so you’ll be able to feed the hair follicle and that’s how the expansion will occur. However past that, it additionally helps with drainage. Lymphatic drainage, you’ll be able to convey all of the vitamins you need to an space, however when you’re not draining what’s poisonous within the space, there’s no good circulation. And with out good circulation, you’ll be able to’t develop something it’s worthwhile to have that good and pure stability. And that’s what occurs with castor oil within the eye space positioned on the eyelashes. So I simply place it instantly on the eyelashes with a mascara brush we even have developing very quickly, a stupendous mascara brush in glass, at all times in glass and it simply makes it lots simpler and carried out on the eyebrows as properly, too. So simply to maintain it actually easy and clear and simple.

Within the hair, you’ll be able to undoubtedly put within the hair. It’s totally different since you don’t need to soak castor oil all in your hair since you may knot your hair up as a result of it’s such a thick oil. With the hair, all you do is you principally break up up the areas and also you apply castor oil on the roots and then you definately do the identical on the ends so as to nourish the dry ends. After which I like to wrap it in like a turbine. We’ve got a specifically designed one which goes particularly with castor oil so the castor oil doesn’t get anyplace and in order that it truly heats up the castor oil in your scalp. As a result of when you bear in mind again within the day, these scorching oil hair remedies, do you bear in mind these, these Vo5 scorching oil hair remedies?

Katie: Oh, yeah, these have been large once I was in highschool.

Marisol: Proper? Me too. Me too. So castor oil will do the very same factor. Like, actually, it’s like a Vo5, however pure, not chemical. And it’s superior on your hair. And also you do it with a turbine. So after you place the castor oil within the roots and on the ends, you principally wrap up your hair with this superior turbine. You principally stuff all of it in there and also you sit with it for an hour. After which it’s amazingly how efficient it helps, as a result of I do know for me, that my hair I used to be at all times challenged to develop my hair previous my shoulders. Now I select to do it as a result of I identical to my look. However earlier than, I may by no means develop my hair lengthy with out it splitting and cracking. And with doing that common routine at the very least as soon as per week, it was very, very efficient for my hair development.

On the eyebrows and eyelashes, that is really a nighttime routine. So earlier than you go to mattress, placed on the mascara, put it on the eyebrows, and if you wish to observe it up, for greatest impact is to truly simply place an eye fixed masks over high of it as properly, as a result of then once more, you get that very same impact of the warmth. And each time you may have that pure warmth with the castor oil, it penetrates deeper and it presumably prompts the castor oil. I nonetheless haven’t been capable of finding what the warmth does, however I’m certain ultimately I’ll discover it. I imply, most likely one other 20 years it’ll take me to seek out out all of the little element. However it has an impact that improves. It higher than simply solely placing on the castor oil. In order that’s why we have now compresses for completely every thing.

Now, you mentioned in regards to the optometrist, the meibomian gland, they name that meibomian gland dysfunction, the place meibomian glands or any glands on the eyes get blocked. I imply, clinically for me, I’ve used castor oils with sufferers, the minute a stye begins to look within the eye. So in the event that they get a stye, apply castor oil instantly on it. This stye may not even evolve fully as a result of it’ll simply dissolve. It’s fairly fascinating. After which once more, you’ll be able to put it into the corners of the eyes and across the eyes, at all times with the eyes closed for any type of glandular dysfunction. And there may be probably an impact as properly, too, that it may assist with recycling of the glutathione within the eye, which is vital as a result of the tissue of the attention, the eyeball, is extremely saturated in glutathione, and as we age, our glutathione ranges lower, and that’s why our eyesight reduces. So it’s tremendous useful for the eyes. I like this sport.

Katie: Effectively, that’s fascinating. And the hair one particular was my subsequent one to ask about. And it sounds such as you wouldn’t need to use it, such as you mentioned on your whole hair, nevertheless it does appear to be lots of people have had good outcomes utilizing it for growing hair development and lowering hair fall. And so the tip there could be to apply it to the scalp solely or the ends. What about including I’ve seen the information so as to add like a teeny little bit of rosemary or peppermint oil to it to type of stimulate blood circulation to the scalp. Is that useful as properly?

Marisol: I find it irresistible. There’s seven well-known important oils. I don’t know if I bear in mind them off the highest of my head, however I do know ylang-ylang, peppermint, rosemary, lavender, and I consider there’s a lemon one and a pair extra which are glorious. We’ve got if anybody needs it, we will join them. A bit of recipe, however it’s distinctive. And I imply, once more, castor oil being that grasp provider oil, rosemary is, in particular, very efficient for ladies who’ve Hashimoto’s, as a result of rosmarinic acid helps to unblock an enzyme that’s attacking the hair follicles. And so this goes not just for the scalp of the hair, for these with thyroid issues, they usually discover that they’re dropping their hair on their head, but additionally in the event that they discover that they’re having the standard thyroid signal, which is a lateral eyebrow is beginning to grow to be skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny. Identical deal. Utilizing a mixture of castor oil with rosmarinic acid on the eyebrows can actually, actually assist. Simply watch out to not apply important oils close to the attention as a result of they might burn. So at all times simply be cautious on that one. However throughout the hair, the scalp, the eyebrows, it’s superior to mix the medicines. I imply, I find it irresistible when folks counsel that, as a result of that’s what our drugs is about. It’s about combining for synergy that makes it even work higher than it does by itself.

Katie: And I’ve that have with my eyebrows. I don’t have thyroid points anymore, however from overplucking and thyroid points, I felt like they have been going away solely. And now I really feel like I even have to chop them as a result of they develop a lot. So I’ll second that, that it truly actually does work. And it might appear to be this makes it useful for guys who’ve hair loss as properly, as a result of that very same enzyme is related to male sample baldness, I believe.

Marisol: You bought it. You bought it. So an incredible recipe for males is simply easy castor oil with rosemary important oil due to that rosmarinic acid. And I’ve even had male sufferers use it as gel, like they’ve quick hair anyhow as a result of they’re going bald. So that they shave all of it down they usually actually each day, simply to work, they’ll put on their castor oil with a little bit of rosemary oil, and it leaves a pleasant shine and it’s a pure possibility or that or go to mattress with it. However once more, everytime you go to mattress with it, you most likely need to both wrap it or as a result of it is going to messy castor oil. The factor with Castor Oil is, it’s messy. And that’s why we love Queen of the Thrones pack, as a result of it simply retains that mess managed. By no means excellent, however managed.

Katie: What about I’ve carried out this earlier than and I’ve seen this now floating round social media utilizing castor oil by itself or together with different oils as a facial cleanser at night time with like an oil cleaning methodology.

Marisol: Yeah. This I like. So I simply do it merely with castor oil, simply because I discover castor oil really like, for me, it’s simply an inexpensive oil. And also you want so little once you simply use castor oil and also you mix with water and steam. So I’ll take a pleasant, stunning material, natural, ideally an natural cotton material. I’ll activate my faucet, pour scorching water on it, steam it, after which I’ll put that on my face and I’ll blot it and gently wipe. So then that means I take slightly little bit of the filth that could be there from the day, as a result of really, water is the common solvent. So that you begin with that and then you definately use castor oil. You’re taking slightly dime dimension of castor oil, a dime to 1 / 4, and also you blot it inside your palms and also you actually blot this in your face like that. That’s all you do. It’s so, so easy. So that you blot the oil and the oil, oil attracts oil. So something that’s oily that should come out that’s in extra or balancing, when you have like, dry areas of your pores and skin, then you definately take that very same material that you simply steamed, you set it on the water, you steam it once more, and then you definately wipe off along with your face. And that’s it. It’s so, so quick for a magnificence routine and cleanser.

Katie: Yeah, that’s undoubtedly a easy one. And it looks like it even works for youngsters who’re pimples inclined due to that oil attracts oil precept.

Marisol: Precisely. It’s glorious. I’ve switched so many sufferers from totally different over-the-counter, like, pharmaceutical model face washes and simply acquired them on this. And it’s simply so easy. It’s inexpensive. The oil lasts a very long time. They get into the observe. And one of the best half, after stepping into the observe of it, your pores and skin feels so delicate at occasions, you don’t even want a moisturizer anymore. Such as you wouldn’t want a nighttime moisturizer, even a daytime moisturizer, as a result of your face actually seems like a child’s backside with that oil washing method. It’s nice.

Katie: That is sensible. And it’s additionally used usually as a pure treatment. And also you touched on this slightly bit. I reside in a spot with heaps and many bugs, so I’ve realized that this actually is useful on bug bites. And I believe additionally it’s useful when youngsters need one thing as a treatment for a bug chew or for a boo-boo of some kind. And also you don’t need to put one thing like that’s poisonous on them. And infrequently simply the psychological placing one thing on it. I really feel like is 80% of the battle with youngsters. And so that’s actually useful and we all know it’s protected, however it’s there any precise backing verify or to disclaim for issues like bug bites or rashes or burns?

Marisol: Verify. And also you do them. You make it in numerous methods so it truly works nice. You should use it by itself when you’re in a decent spot and also you haven’t been capable of make slightly system that I’m going to show you guys find out how to make proper now. However with dry pores and skin, you’ll be able to go simply castor oil on it. Sunburns, simply castor oil as it’s. They work nice in terms of any type of accidents or like scrapes otherwise you need fast therapeutic or bug bites, what you need to do is you need to make castor oil into your very personal at house pure pomade. So that you combine baking soda one to at least one with castor oil. It ought to come out like a thick paste, like slightly little bit of a thicker paste. And you may put it I imply, I put it in all types of little jars after which I carry it round with me. I’ve one in a kind of silicone journey tubes for once I journey and that combination heals quickly. Bug bites, boo-boos, cuts, scrapes. Whether or not has to do the castor oil, all the advantages of castor oil is an anti-inflammatory, nutrient wealthy, all these nice, that nice stuff that Castor oil does. But in addition the baking soda alkalinizing the world. So then that means all of the therapeutic elements can work higher as a result of loads of occasions if the tissue is simply too acidic and it’s extremely injured and extremely infected, the physique can’t heal it and issues don’t reply they usually don’t work. However when you can alkalinize the tissues after which use the castor oil with it, it really works incredible. It’s my go-to. I at all times have it with me. I by no means depart house with out my little combination of baking soda. One to at least one with castor oil. Tremendous easy.

Katie: Yeah, that may be the best DIY recipe ever.

Marisol: It’s. And so purposeful. I name it just like the Save the Day salve. It actually saves the day everytime you want it.

Katie: That’s an incredible tip. I’m placing that within the present notes for you guys listening. You additionally talked about castor oil packs a few occasions. And I do know we talked about this in our different interview. I’ll be certain I hyperlink to that one as properly. However stroll us by what a castor oil pack is and among the use-cases of who would possibly need to do this.

Marisol: Superior. So castor oil packs are nice for the whole household, besides when you’re actively pregnant and also you’re not able to pop it out. So when you’re pregnant, you’ll be able to’t use castor oil packs, however after being pregnant you completely can. In order that’s an incredible factor, particularly postpartum.

So castor oil packs, when you look to the. Aspect of me, or for individuals who are listening, who can’t see. The castor oil pack is principally an natural cotton material that’s formed in a sure means so as to be worn over the liver or over the pelvic area. It may be worn over the thyroid, over the eyes. It’s used everywhere in the physique, over the decrease again, on the hips, for sciatic, simply principally the knees, joints, you identify it. Anyplace on the physique, you need to use the castor oil pack.

Essentially the most well-known is the castor oil liver pack. And the castor oil liver pack, I imply, once more, goes again, means again to the outdated, the primary medical docs, Hippocrates and all them utilizing the pack to assist with terrain. So the idea of terrain is that how do you assist the entire physique to do its perform higher? And largest challenge with our well being and our therapeutic is that we’re so harassed, our physique can’t heal. When our physique is harassed, it doesn’t matter what you give it, what dietary supplements you give it, nice meals you give it, medicines, every thing, they merely simply don’t work very properly, you don’t take in them very properly, you don’t digest them very properly, and your physique has no means to have the ability to make the most of them the way in which that they’re presupposed to be utilized.

So, castor oil pack could be very grassroots drugs and it’s terrain drugs, which suggests it helps every thing that you simply’re doing work higher after which some. So that you placed on a pack by merely inserting one to 2 tablespoons of castor oil, natural castor oil, at all times in glass, on a pack, on our natural cotton flannel or natural cotton wool. And also you place it on the liver and also you ideally do this for at the very least 1 hour to in a single day. And it’ll assist with cleaning, which suggests serving to your bowels to maneuver higher, it’ll assist with lymphatic drainage. So getting all the congestion that may be in your tissues, bloatedness, any sort of even extreme weight generally that you simply’re carrying, this helps with lymphatic drainage, water retention, all of that.

After which it additionally helps with liver detoxifying. So serving to to stability your hormones, stability your sleep cycle, stability all of the points of our physique which are actually, really a very powerful. Folks, our commonest testimonial, which I discover is simply superb that everybody makes use of the identical phrases, is that folks name the castor oil pack a sport changer. I imply, we have now lots of of testimonials the place persons are like, I’ve been doing all of the dietary supplements, all of the routines, all of this and all of that. And what modified the sport for me was beginning a castor oil pack.

And the most typical phrases that folks say is it helped me to sleep higher, it helped me to poop higher, and it helped me to really feel higher as a result of it balances your temper, your hormones, all of those various things. So it’s really most likely some of the foundational practices like exercising, attempting to eat higher, getting a superb night time’s relaxation. And it helps with all of these issues too, taking your dietary supplements. So it’s so, so foundational. And I exploit it throughout the board with each single affected person, particularly once I was in scientific observe in pediatrics or with kids. I might use it in the event that they have been harassed, in the event that they weren’t sleeping properly, if any kids that have been on the spectrum as a result of it helped to calm them down, I might use it. If that they had any tummy aches within the summertime or indigestion, that was some of the widespread factor that children would come to my scientific observe with was that they might be consuming meals and it might trigger them abdomen upset. So getting right into a observe early on of doing these castor oil packs could be nice for teenagers.

And now my kids are grown. I imply, I’ve been in castor oil drugs for over 20 years. My youngsters are 20 and 22 now. And so my youngsters very a lot grew up with castor oil and castor oil packs. So now each time my youngsters I bear in mind my daughter, her first yr of College, I used to be speaking to you the way she’s tremendous unbiased and he or she wished to go away from house immediately. And my daughter is so humorous. The primary week she’s in her indoctrination of faculty they usually exit consuming one night time and he or she overdoes it. And usually she has a reasonably good weight loss plan as a result of she grew up with me, however she overdid it. And he or she known as me the very first thing within the morning. She’s like, Mother, I forgot my castor oil pack. It’s the very first thing, the one factor I forgot, as a result of she would use it on a regular basis each time she wouldn’t really feel properly, it’d be the very first thing that she’d placed on.

And I like instructing youngsters that early on, as a result of in the event that they know that early on, they’re set for all times as a result of castor oil pack it’s that go-to that will help you really feel higher in your physique on a regular basis after which postpartum it really works properly, let’s go earlier than that.

Fertility issues, castor oil packs can be utilized for fertility issues. I’ve had sufferers enhance their fertility over a interval of couple of months along with fertility remedies with their typical physician. In the event that they’re doing IVF or no matter they’re doing, it helps every thing to work higher in that realm, too, which is nice as a result of IVF may be so, so costly. After which postpartum utilizing castor oil packs not on the liver, however truly on the pelvic area to assist to reset all of the organs. If a mama has had like a Caesarean scar, it will probably assist with therapeutic of the Caesarean scar. If organs are all displaced after being pregnant, simply to set issues again quickly. After which, in fact, serving to us to breastfeed higher by doing castor oil pack over the pelvic area is vital as a result of once more, it’s going to assist your ovaries to reset themselves in a pleasant, wholesome method. And that hypothalamic adrenal ovarian entry that will get disbalanced throughout being pregnant and after being pregnant. And that’s one of many main causes of postpartum melancholy. If we will get a mama to place the pack on fairly instantly after the scar is healed on the pelvic area, she’s going to rock it and he or she’ll do very well. She gained’t be as a lot in danger for postpartum melancholy. She’ll breastfeed nice and it’ll actually assist her transition into her years after publish child. So actually nice alongside the spectrum of life after which ladies in menopause or transitioning, proper? Scorching flashes, night time sweats, those who do castor oil packs have much less severity of menopausal signs, which is good as a result of Castor Oil Packs helps them to cleanse higher. And once you transfer into that stage of life, you cease having one of many ways in which you cleanse and detox, which is thru a menstrual interval.

Katie: That is sensible. And it’s a superb reminder to get again to them often. And I’m glad you talked about they can be utilized in a single day as a result of that makes it much less work. You simply put it on and neglect about it.

Katie: Can important oils be mixed with it at night time or is it beneficial to make use of by itself?

Marisol: I like that. Verify! I find it irresistible when folks put important oils. And that basically goes to be depending on what your circumstances are, what you’re coping with. In order for you extra liver assist or when you have loads of irritation in your physique, possibly you’d go for like frankincense, slightly little bit of buzzword that goes a great distance. Or when you stress is your factor. For me, stress has at all times been a problem. And so what I at all times mixed it with was issues like lavender or lemon or lemon simply to calm me down and clear my thoughts. And that might at all times assist me to sleep higher. So completely. Should you’re slightly important oil maven, get these important oils blended along with your pack and put on it in a single day.

Katie: Nice to know. And likewise, I might guess due to its means, you talked about nitric oxide and blood circulation, that it might be used on websites of like, soreness or damage after exercise as properly. I’m asking considerably self-centeredly as a result of my daughter has shin splints from doing loads of exercises, and I’m questioning if at night time this might assist her shin splints simply by the character of bringing extra consciousness and blood circulation to her legs.

Marisol: You bought it. Completely. Like, I might be rubbing in and massaging it. We’ve got truly a therapeutic massage curler that we use with castor oil. This therapeutic massage curler works actually successfully to simply assist the fibers break by. An incredible little hack together with her shin splints is I might be taking a look at her beneath her sole and doing massages of the underside of her foot after which again into her calf muscle as a result of there’s some set off factors in there that you would be able to with the therapeutic massage curler ball actually successfully get in with castor oil. After which I might be undoubtedly together with some frankincense oil. With the castor oil all blended in collectively, it makes an superior, superior little protocol.

Katie: I find it irresistible. And so, talking of therapeutic massage, and we’ve talked about Lymphatic drainage fairly a bit. I’ve additionally seen this mixed with folks utilizing like gulsha on the face for Lymphatic. And I like doing this once I wash my face as a result of my face already has the oil on it and so there’s no friction on the pores and skin. However I might guess then it might be carried out in a complete physique Lymphatic therapeutic massage sort scenario. However do you suggest this?

Marisol: Sure. So I find it irresistible. So for certain, cosmetically with gulsha, completely. Even with cups, anybody utilizing the beauty cups, they’ll use that as properly too. Like the normal do the cupping remedy for facial and beauty. The way in which that I like to make use of it for common Lymphatic is definitely one thing generally known as wet-dry brushing. So it’s utilizing a dry brush. So we promote a package as properly too, as a result of we have now all of it, make it simple for folks to get all of the entry to the instruments.

So what you do is you do the standard Lymphatic opening motion. So that you begin by opening up the Lymphatic zones. So once more, that’s like proper right here on the collarbone, on high of the collarbone, in behind of the ears, you’re wanting on the fringe of the mandible. So proper on the backside of the chin, beneath the armpits into the pectoral area. Then you definitely go beneath the abdomen and also you pump and also you actually simply faucet the world. You possibly can put slightly little bit of castor oil in your palms once you’re rubbing and massaging these areas. Then once more, abdomen into the pelvic area known as the Inguinal canal by your pubic space. After which in behind within the knees.

So that you begin by simply gently pumping with slightly little bit of castor oil in your palms. And then you definately do what’s known as a moist brush. Moist brushing is simply brushing along with your palms. And once more, you’re taking like 1 / 4 dimension quantity of castor oil. Much less is extra with castor oil. There’s no must go like loopy and saturate. Much less is at all times extra. So quarter dimension, once more, you do the identical type of factor that you simply did along with your facial washing is you rub it between your palms and then you definately begin from the within, going outward. So along with your arm, you’d begin like on the shoulder and you sweep with the castor oil upwards in the direction of your coronary heart. And also you do that first with castor oil and also you do that throughout your physique.

And then you definately observe it up with the dry brushing half. So you’re taking your dry brush and also you do the very same factor. So then you definately dry brush internally. And this primary makes dry brushing extra tolerable as a result of it feels higher in your pores and skin. Your pores and skin feels smoother afterwards and it simply helps your pores and skin. Like, once more, changing physique moisturizer. Like with castor oil, you’ll be able to do away with so many alternative issues in your cupboard that you simply don’t really want anymore. Proper? As a result of castor oil can substitute it, which is good, or you need to use it together. Say you may have a favourite physique cream that has like superb important oils. You’ll be able to simply put it together with that and then you definately get one of the best of each worlds.

Katie: And are there any danger or issues to concentrate on with castor oil contraindications or occasions that shouldn’t be used apart from we talked about being pregnant. However like as an example, does it make you extra delicate to the solar? Do folks with sure circumstances must keep away from it? Any particular issues?

Marisol: I like that. So like all oils, when you’re going to be baking out within the solar, in fact you recognize it’s going to mirror and it may trigger to have slightly burn. So it’d be higher to make use of castor oil post-sun care and never pre-sun care. The opposite warning, there could be radiation remedy. So for individuals who may be utilizing castor oil to lymphatic drain across the breast space, I’d be cautious with utilizing castor oil or any type of oil for that matter earlier than radiation. So that might be slightly contraindication there.

And once more in being pregnant, any open wounds? We don’t usually use castor oil over open wounds. Additionally, say if a mama has had a caesarean part, we simply wait till that heals properly after which is the time. And we do completely need to use castor oil for scars as a result of it helps to forestall keloids. The extra infected {that a} mom is or a lady is, the extra probability with any type of scar she will create a keloid. And keloids grow to be very unattractive they usually’re simply actually uncomfortable too, they usually block energetics as properly too of your physique. So the minute that we have now any type of surgical procedure, even when it’s a microscopic, a small surgical procedure, something making use of castor oil publish surgical procedure, it might be additionally like a breast discount or eradicating your breast implants, or getting breast implants for that matter, no matter could also be your fancy. I’m not right here to guage what you select in your life. However any type of surgical procedure, making use of castor oil can simply assist with lymphatic circulation and therapeutic of any scars afterwards. In order that’s an incredible little hack as properly too.

Katie: Is sensible. And to not use it till it’s truly the pores and skin is closed as a result of I might guess it additionally as a result of it’s so highly effective, may as an example, dissolve surgical glue or one thing like that. So that you wouldn’t need to use it.

Marisol: Okay, yeah, you bought it. It’s so highly effective. I believe possibly it’s due to the identify of castor oil. Castor oil is known as the palm of Christ oil. I simply discover that to be most likely very telling of what castor oil does. Like, it’s simply beautifully highly effective.

Katie: And I’m additionally a giant fan of behavior stacking so one factor I’ve carried out up to now, however you would possibly inform me this isn’t a good suggestion, is to mix castor oil with pink mild, with meditation. Like something I can do all of sudden and maximize the time, good or unhealthy, to make use of castor oil with pink mild.

Marisol: I like utilizing castor oil with pink mild. I don’t suppose it’s a nasty factor. I believe you need to watch out with utilizing packs within the sauna, I might use, say when you did a sauna, use it, put the pack on afterwards and with pink mild I might put the castor oil on pink mild after which afterwards put the pack just because there may be an outdoor plastic layer on it’s the healthiest model of plastic that we will discover. However nonetheless, so as to make the packs much less messy, we’ve acquired to place one thing on the skin. What’s touching your pores and skin is natural cotton, which is essential. However I simply don’t need to have any danger. We’re unsure if the plastic may undergo when you’re heating it up and such. So ideally you do the pink mild remedy with castor oil after which after the remedy, plop on the pack and go to mattress and make it easy.

And meditation. I couldn’t meditate for the lifetime of me as a result of stress once more again within the day was what was difficult my well being time and time once more. And it wasn’t till I did my first castor oil pack that I lastly knew what rest was. After which I used to be lastly capable of get right into a meditation and never go loopy and have a panic assault once I was attempting to do a meditation. So it was among the best issues for me to once more, and I like behavior stacking too, in order that helped me enormously. So if anybody out there was challenged with meditation, this may be one of many methods to facilitate and make it easy.

Katie: Nice to know. After which I do know that there’s additionally vital high quality issues in terms of castor oil. And identical to all of those advantages may be so useful when you aren’t utilizing a superb supply, it looks like there’s truly some potential danger hooked up. So if somebody goes to strive this stuff, what issues do they should search for in a castor oil to verify they’re getting a protected one?

Marisol: Excellent. I’ve studied castor oil and castor oil packs for over 20 years and we’re actively researching and finding out and seeing and ensuring that we’re utilizing the very best quality. And I do know that Queen of the thrones is the very best high quality and greatest supply of oil and pack. And the reason is is that we do it along with your well being in thoughts as a result of the oil primary, you’ll find it on Amazon or on all these totally different locations pottled in plastic. However the issue with castor oil and plastic is that castor oil, bear in mind, is that magical, the perfect provider oil that exists. So it carries every thing into the physique. And when you’re packaging castor oil in plastic in any portion of the provision chain, ours oil by no means touches plastic. That’s my assure. I imply, we go to the provision chain, we’re even going to be beginning to truly develop castor oil so as to management it even additional. As a result of I exploit castor oil a lot in my life, for me, for my pals, for my household, and for your whole pals and your loved ones. We’re good pals. I don’t need to ever do something that isn’t good for folks.

So it completely requires to be in glass in any respect closing dates, even when you’re utilizing a mascara tube. Like, don’t go put castor oil in glass after which put it right into a plastic mascara tube, as a result of once more, it’s going to be absorbing that. After which that’s what you’re going to be absorbing is extra of the plastic than truly getting the advantages of the castor oil and plastic and castor oil, the rationale it’s no good is as a result of plastic are hormone disruptors. Plastic usually is mixed with phthalates, that are well-known hormone disruptors. And in terms of the castor oil pack, the device, the pack itself, we’ve acquired to watch out as a result of there’s so many in the marketplace that use natural bamboo, which feels like it might be actually good for you, however natural bamboo is definitely fairly poisonous when you take a look at the manufacturing of natural bamboo. Natural bamboo is natural, proper? Like, it’s great as a result of it’s a plant and it grows, and that’s what makes it natural.

However to take that plant that’s bamboo is utilized in heavy building as a result of it’s as sturdy as metal. And so so as to break down metal, think about what sort of chemical compounds you bought to make use of so as to break down metal. And since bamboo is eco-friendly, they use much less water to clean it. So you’ll be able to think about that bamboo now could be going to be having chemical compounds with it. After which more often than not, bamboo isn’t simply bamboo fibers. The cellulose from bamboo, it’s truly bamboo fibers blended with rayon, which is plastic and rayon. As a way to make it softer, they use phthalate sprayed on it. So it will probably grow to be an actual poisonous load that you simply’re going to be absorbing. By doing a castor oil pack with bamboo, it completely requires the layer that’s subsequent to your pores and skin, completely have to be natural cotton. There isn’t any doubt about it.

And also you’re on the lookout for flannel. You don’t desire a velour as a result of natural cotton velour is mixed with, once more, plastic fibers. There’s so many issues in terms of materials, so it completely have to be natural cotton, flannel, like, little doubt about it. And natural castor oil in glass, at all times. And processing of castor oil must be expeller, pressed, and hexane free and pure. You don’t need something blended in along with your castor oil, simply easy castor oil. That’s it.

Katie: And with castor oil packs utilizing all of this stuff, like we simply talked about, how usually does it have to be washed and are there any particular concerns for that? Can or not it’s used a number of occasions earlier than washing or is that this in each single use it’s worthwhile to wash it?

Marisol: I like that. So you need to use it a number of occasions with out washing it. And ideally, you substitute the castor oil pack after about two months of standard utilization. So when you’re utilizing it each day so 60 remedies, you need to get a brand new pack. It nonetheless could be very inexpensive in comparison with most of the dietary supplements in the marketplace, however as a result of I don’t suppose persons are very used to eliminating a chunk of fabric or materials, however you do must as a result of we’re unsure. Once more, castor oil carries issues out and in, so there’s a possible that castor oil would possibly carry stuff from the physique into the pack. So we simply need to make it possible for we don’t do this.

The opposite factor too is that I can get away when you use the pack correctly and solely use two tablespoons the primary time after which one tablespoon of castor oil each time after that. I imply, I exploit my pack for at the very least a month with out having to do something with it and generally I’m going two months as a result of so long as you retain it within the heart of the pack, it’s meant to have the ability to do this. However not everybody is in a position to do this. So if you must, you’ll be able to wash it and then you definately merely wash it with scorching soak it in scorching water and baking soda in a single day after which rinse it with good clear cleaning soap and lay it flat to dry. You may also put it into your dishwasher. I do some hack the place I put mine into my dishwasher and I do this with like clear dish cleaning soap after which that’s a fast, simple technique to clear it out as properly too. It’s by no means excellent although, after you wash it and ultimately you’re going to need to substitute it. In order that’s most likely one of the best factor to know.

After which the one different aspect notice on that’s if you’re doing like a hormone protocol. Hormone protocols could be like the place you do a liver pack from bleed from menstruation to your ovulation and then you definately’re switching over to a pelvic pack over your ovaries. Don’t use a liver pack over your ovaries as a result of once more, the liver is processing loads of various things and also you need to type of maintain it for every space and it’s additionally scientifically designed to suit the world and to take care of the dermatomes and the visceral reflexes which are coming from the pores and skin. So there are packs for that, for every totally different location of the physique.

Katie: Good to know. And I do know you may have assets, clarify in depth all of those various things past what we will cowl in a 1 hour podcast episode. So I’ll hyperlink to a few of my favourite content material you may have associated to that, in addition to to all these specifics of the place to seek out every thing. However within the curiosity of time, I at all times like to ask a number of questions on the finish of interviews. The primary being if there’s a e-book or variety of books which have profoundly impacted your life and if that’s the case, what they’re and why life.

Marisol: Oh wow, there’s so many books, we’d be right here without end. However I’m going to start out with most likely a very powerful once I was a affected person, sorry, not a affected person, once I was in my first yr of scientific observe, considered one of my sufferers got here and he or she was a beautiful woman who appeared like she was about 20, however she was truly like 60. And he or she mentioned to me, I owe it to castor oil, which was I already cherished her proper off the bat, however she had instructed me that every thing that it’s worthwhile to learn about well being and therapeutic is within the Bible. And on the time I wasn’t very non secular and wasn’t actually studying the Bible, however she inspired me to learn the Bible and really I discovered it to be a really large inspiration for therapeutic and protocols and all various things like Genesis is a good seven day cleanse. There’s so many alternative superb issues that you would be able to reap out of the Bible, together with glorious issues to reside by, like reap what you sow, all these totally different great metaphors that you simply get within the Bible.

After that I might say Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching. It’s simply once more, historical, outdated rules from conventional Chinese language again within the day of the Chinese language empires and simply understanding the philosophies like be like water to circulation, that impacted me vastly. And one other e-book could be The Recreation of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. Once more, it’s early nineteenth century. She was a beautiful lady. Most likely one of many first lady metaphysicians, which signifies that she would work throughout the phrase and throughout the therapeutic, as a result of our phrase heals our physique and our soul and our thoughts. And a lot that we are saying what we are saying has magic and energy. And he or she was most likely one of many first ladies to essentially convey it to life outdoors of religious circles. So I actually love her e-book, The Recreation of Life. It’s a wonderful learn and I’ve learn it in each language, as with the Bible, Spanish, Italian, French, German and now I’m engaged on studying some Portuguese.

Katie: I neglect this from our final episode. You might be very multi-lingual as properly. That’s unbelievable and spectacular. I’ll hyperlink to these as properly within the present notes for you guys listening. Every little thing is at wellnessmama.fm. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners that might be associated to castor oil or might be unrelated life recommendation that’s been useful to you.

Marisol: Superior. I believe most likely a very powerful factor to say is simply to remind folks that you simply’ve acquired to make use of a pack to do a castor oil pack. In my occupation, so many practitioners are generally simply recommending to simply rub the oil on the physique to get the impact. It gained’t be the identical factor. The castor oil pack is rather like a bandaid. When your child has a boo-boo, you set a bandaid on it to place consideration and draw the eye there and get the physique its personal therapeutic and important pressure working. So I believe that’s most likely a very powerful factor in regards to the castor oil packs.

After which secondly, as with every thing, it’s simply observe and about being mild with your self whilst you’re training. As a result of if I look again to myself, earlier on in my life, I used to be so vital. I used to be simply so imply to myself. The issues that I might say to myself, I wouldn’t even say to a greatest pal. I wouldn’t say that to anyone, however I used to be saying it to myself. And I noticed that the extra that I used to be identical to, love and acceptance and pleasure and coming from my coronary heart and talking my fact, the extra that I journeyed in these stunning, sort phrases and the extra that I mentioned these phrases to myself. And the extra that I practiced it, the higher that I felt and the higher that I acquired in my well being.

So no matter it’s that you simply’re going to tackle, I do hope it’s a castor oil pack in your observe is simply to take action. And accomplish that with the intent to observe and the intent to be mild with oneself.
