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 talk once more and I believe that is very well timed dialog as a result of Castor Oil is actually gaining numerous traction. I see it on social media on a regular basis and I really feel like there’s some essential caveats we’re going to get to delve into once you’re utilizing Castor Oil. However earlier than we get to that subject, I even have a notice out of your bio that you’ve got a gentle well being retreat dependancy and I wish 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 really, since COVID I’ve been exploring the retreat world just because for me, Castor Oil Packs, I obtained into Castor oil packs, as a result of Castor Oil Packs had been what shifted stress for me. And I noticed that in our busy day-to-day life, it’s fairly intense and it’s onerous to generally do what it’s essential to do so as to and study the practices and undertake them right into a every day common ritual.
And I discovered that the adoption of going to retreats really actually helps to try 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 study all these new abilities and also you apply them day-in and day-out. However then once you come again into your regular day-to-day loopy youngsters working round, driving, all that shebang that we now have 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 obtained 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 apply and routine that’s so important for staying wholesome in the long term.
Katie: I adore it. 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 a minimum of, having good relationships with ladies has all the time been just a little little bit of a wrestle. Like, I’ve a couple of very shut buddies, however I’ve been extra reserved in teams of ladies 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 obtained 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 important reset. And so now I’m a giant fan of even for those who’re not going to go to a well being retreat, like curate that have with native buddies or like a bunch of ladies buddies, as a result of I believe that point is so priceless.
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 really a girlfriend of mine and I’ve had an identical life the place it’s been difficult to attach with ladies. However I’m engaged on that. That’s form of considered one of my targets is to get higher ladies buddies. In order that approach 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 obtained 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 business 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 are able to convey a lot to the world after we tune in. After we tune in.
Katie: I agree. And I mentioned that so many instances in several methods on this podcast of I consider mothers particularly, are such a drive of nature and we now have a lot impression in the way in which we’re interacting with the subsequent era. Additionally with the way in which that we now have a lot buying energy inside society and that basically nurturing that connection will be such an impactful instrument for ladies, particularly.
Marisol: One million p.c. Yeah, I’m proper on board there with you, Katie. For certain, 100%.
Katie: I adore it. Nicely, I additionally am actually excited to study extra from you concerning the subject of castor oil. Like I mentioned, this appears to be having an enormous explosion on social media proper now and with good motive. And to begin broad, I might guess most individuals by now have a minimum of heard of it as a result of it’s getting so common. However are you able to stroll us by means of what it’s and what makes it so distinctive from a well being perspective?
Marisol: Superior. Nicely, castor oil for me. I suppose the easiest way that I can clarify this I used to be actually occupied with this, and I’ve all the time considered that is there was a film again, I believe, within the 90s or the early 2000s, which was My Massive Fats Greek Marriage 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 obtained launched to it, it was about 20 years in the past once I was working within the pure well being business. 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 obtained 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 items do? I see it in every single place, however I see it dusty, I see it generally, I see it just a little bit greater, but it surely was all the time 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 obtained the phrase which actually caught to me was that somebody in a well being meals retailer informed me that it was the primary factor that you simply wish to have in your at-home pure pharmacy cupboard. For any form of sprains, strains, boo-boos or accidents or sunburns, mosquito bites throughout 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 residence. 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 really once I was informed about what it really did do, I really felt it was just a little 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 form of an oil. It has so many therapeutic helpful properties, and it’s most well-known within the standard medical area for a laxative. So it was initially prescribed by many docs within the 1900 as a laxative. And it will 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 perhaps 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 all the time often called that. It’s an oil that helps to maneuver by means of muscle, transfer the bowels, transfer the uterus, and put together for beginning. However again within the day, again in Hippocrates, within the outdated, outdated medical texts and again in historic 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 attractive 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 basic wellness, like a terrain drugs, we’d say, to assist the whole lot that you simply do in your pure, wholesome way of life, work higher.
After which quick ahead. We’ve obtained 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 obtained 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 obtained 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 fashionable prophet or one of many first Natural Pure Medical Medical doctors of America, however he was often called a sleeping prophet. And he’s a bit debatable as a result of some camps suppose that he may need been just a little bit into witchery or doing just a little little bit of issues off of the books. However nonetheless, he actually promoted using castor oil plaques frequently. 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 similar to a laxative or a provider oil, these well being selling packs are terrain drugs, so historic drugs at its finest.
Katie: It’s so fascinating, and I didn’t even notice it had such a protracted historical past. What are a number of the properties of castor oil like compounds discovered inside it? Or what makes it so in a position to do all of those various things?
Marisol: So nice. Such an important query. Castor oil is I imply, it’s magical. I have a look at the testimonies on our web site and folks simply say, wow, it is 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, for those who’re utilizing, say, important oils, I’m certain numerous Wellness Mama’s love is utilizing their important oils. They’re most frequently informed to make use of issues like candy almond, jojoba oil as a provider oil. However castor oil, I’m shocked 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 preserve it on the highest layer of the pores and skin. However throughout the dermis, you’re entering into the circulation, you’re entering into the Lymphatic system, and also you’re entering into the place the place you really will be altering how the physique is functioning since you’ve obtained 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 bettering collagen, bettering the tissue beneath, like plumping it up, so cosmetically you should utilize it to plump up your tissues, your pores and skin, your lips, your eyes. Whenever you begin to discover, like, darkish circles underneath your eyes, you should utilize Castor Oil there to plump it up.
Different actions of the oil, it’s a pure anti-inflammatory, which is nice, however I imply, numerous 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 adore it 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 adore it, is as a result of it helps with oxygenation to the tissues and wherever there’s extra oxygenation, there’s 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 clever, proper? As a result of if we now have higher oxygenation to our digestive tract, higher oxygenation to our fingers, our toes, our nerves, our coronary heart, our lungs, properly, the whole lot inside our mind, the whole lot 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. Nevertheless it’s costly, it’s not very extremely bioavailable, which implies it’s onerous 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 finest methods, what higher option 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 really additionally promote dopamine, which is a really feel good neurotransmitter. So I imply, the record retains on occurring. 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 rather a lot! On high of it, it’s a well-known, and that is all researched, a well known microbiome balancer. It really breaks down one thing often called biofilm. And biofilm is that nasty layer, like a protecting layer, that dangerous micro organism, dangerous yeasts, parasites which may be inside our gut or our mucosal membranes that they mainly 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 form of covers it.
So pure anti-inflammatory wealthy. In antioxidants, we obtained the biofilm balancer. It helps to maneuver clean muscle to assist induce being pregnant or labor sorry. And transfer these bowels and get our stools transferring. It additionally strikes your circulation and your Lymphatic system and it’s the grasp provider so these are actually, in a nutshell, all the predominant actions of simply castor oil on itself by itself.
Katie: And I’d like to delve into a number of the particular use-cases inside figuring out these advantages as a result of like I mentioned, that is now common. I’ve seen it talked about for thus many alternative makes use of and I might love like a verify or deny, fact versus fable form of breakdown of all these various things and in addition to speak about if there’s any threat or advantages that aren’t talked about extensively on social media. So the primary being, I’ve seen folks suggest placing this, for example, on our eyelids or eyelashes at night time, each for eyelash development. However I even noticed an optometrist explaining that this might help promote the pure tears of the eyes and the wetness once you blink and all this stuff which can be purported to occur. So verify pressing eye, is that this good or dangerous? And suggestions for really doing that.
Marisol: Superior. Confirmed. It’s good. Once more, it has to do with the physiology going beneath of bettering our hair development so you’ll be able to even lengthen it to eyebrows and the hair on the pinnacle, castor oil will enhance circulation to the realm, that’s the nitric oxide impact. After which with the circulation improved to the realm, what’s it going to do, it’s going to convey extra vitamins to the realm 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 wish to an space, however for those who’re not draining what’s poisonous within the space, there’s no good move. And with out good move, you’ll be able to’t develop something it’s essential 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 straight on the eyelashes with a mascara brush we even have arising very quickly, a wonderful mascara brush in glass, all the time in glass and it simply makes it rather a lot 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 wish 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 mainly break up up the areas and also you apply castor oil on the roots and you then do the identical on the ends so as to nourish the dry ends. After which I like to wrap it in like a turbine. Now we have a specifically designed one which goes particularly with castor oil so the castor oil doesn’t get wherever and in order that it really heats up the castor oil in your scalp. As a result of for those who 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 had been massive 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 mainly wrap up your hair with this superior turbine. You mainly 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 all the time challenged to develop my hair previous my shoulders. Now I select to do it as a result of I similar 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 a minimum of as soon as per week, it was very, very efficient for my hair development.
On the eyebrows and eyelashes, that is actually 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 finest 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 at any time when you might have that pure warmth with the castor oil, it penetrates deeper and it probably prompts the castor oil. I nonetheless haven’t been capable of finding what the warmth does, however I’m certain finally I’ll discover it. I imply, in all probability one other 20 years it’ll take me to search out out all of the little element. Nevertheless it has an impact that improves. It better than simply solely placing on the castor oil. In order that’s why we now have compresses for completely the whole lot.
Now, you mentioned concerning 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 seem within the eye. So in the event that they get a stye, apply castor oil instantly on it. This stye won’t even evolve utterly 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, all the time with the eyes closed for any form of glandular dysfunction. And there’s doubtlessly an impact as properly, too, that it may assist with recycling of the glutathione within the eye, which is essential as a result of the tissue of the attention, the eyeball, is very saturated in glutathione, and as we age, our glutathione ranges lower, and that’s why our eyesight reduces. So it’s tremendous helpful for the eyes. I like this sport.
Katie: Nicely, that’s fascinating. And the hair one particular was my subsequent one to ask about. And it sounds such as you wouldn’t wish to use it, such as you mentioned on your entire hair, but it surely does appear to be lots of people have had good outcomes utilizing it for growing hair development and decreasing 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 guidelines so as to add like a teeny little bit of rosemary or peppermint oil to it to form of stimulate blood move to the scalp. Is that useful as properly?
Marisol: I adore it. 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 can be wonderful. Now we have if anybody desires it, we are able to join them. Just a little 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, and so they 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 develop into 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 all the time simply be cautious on that one. However throughout the hair, the scalp, the eyebrows, it’s superior to mix the medicines. I imply, I adore it 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 better 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 had been going away totally. 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 really actually does work. And it will appear to be this makes it helpful for guys who’ve hair loss as properly, as a result of that very same enzyme is linked to male sample baldness, I believe.
Marisol: You bought it. You bought it. So an important 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 and so they actually day by 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 choice or that or go to mattress with it. However once more, everytime you go to mattress with it, you in all probability wish to both wrap it or as a result of it would 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 really like. So I simply do it merely with castor oil, simply because I discover castor oil actually 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 approach I take just a little little bit of the dust which may be there from the day, as a result of actually, water is the common solvent. So that you begin with that and you then use castor oil. You are taking just a little 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’ve got like, dry areas of your pores and skin, you then take that very same material that you simply steamed, you place it on the water, you steam it once more, and you then wipe off together 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 as if it even works for youngsters who’re zits inclined due to that oil attracts oil precept.
Marisol: Precisely. It’s wonderful. I’ve switched so many sufferers from totally different over-the-counter, like, pharmaceutical model face washes and simply obtained them on this. And it’s simply so easy. It’s inexpensive. The oil lasts a very long time. They get into the apply. And one of the best half, after entering into the apply of it, your pores and skin feels so comfortable at instances, 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 appears like a child’s backside with that oil washing approach. It’s nice.
Katie: That is smart. And it’s additionally used usually as a pure treatment. And also you touched on this just a little bit. I stay 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 type. And also you don’t wish 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 secure, however it’s there any precise backing verify or to disclaim for issues like bug bites or rashes or burns?
Marisol: Affirm. And also you do them. You make it in several methods so it really works nice. You should use it by itself for those who’re in a decent spot and also you haven’t been in a position to make just a little components that I’m going to show you guys learn 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 the case of any form of accidents or like scrapes otherwise you need speedy therapeutic or bug bites, what you wish to do is you wish to make castor oil into your very personal at residence pure pomade. So that you combine baking soda one to 1 with castor oil. It ought to come out like a thick paste, like just a little little bit of a thicker paste. And you may put it I imply, I put it in every kind of little jars after which I carry it round with me. I’ve one in a type 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 additionally the baking soda alkalinizing the realm. So then that approach all of the therapeutic components can work higher as a result of numerous instances if the tissue is just too acidic and it’s extremely injured and extremely infected, the physique can’t heal it and issues don’t reply and so they don’t work. However for those who can alkalinize the tissues after which use the castor oil with it, it really works incredible. It’s my go-to. I all the time have it with me. I by no means go away residence with out my little combination of baking soda. One to 1 with castor oil. Tremendous easy.
Katie: Yeah, that could be the simplest DIY recipe ever.
Marisol: It’s. And so practical. I name it just like the Save the Day salve. It actually saves the day everytime you want it.
Katie: That’s an important tip. I’m placing that within the present notes for you guys listening. You additionally talked about castor oil packs a few instances. And I do know we talked about this in our different interview. I’ll be certain that I hyperlink to that one as properly. However stroll us by means of what a castor oil pack is and a number of the use-cases of who would possibly wish to do that.
Marisol: Superior. So castor oil packs are nice for the whole household, besides for those who’re actively pregnant and also you’re not able to pop it out. So for those who’re pregnant, you’ll be able to’t use castor oil packs, however after being pregnant you completely can. In order that’s an important factor, particularly postpartum.
So castor oil packs, for those who look to the. Aspect of me, or for many who are listening, who can’t see. The castor oil pack is mainly an natural cotton material that’s formed in a sure approach 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 all around the physique, over the decrease again, on the hips, for sciatic, simply mainly the knees, joints, you title it. Anyplace on the physique, you should utilize 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, approach 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 difficulty with our well being and our therapeutic is that we’re so confused, our physique can’t heal. When our physique is confused, it doesn’t matter what you give it, what dietary supplements you give it, nice meals you give it, medicines, the whole lot, they merely simply don’t work very properly, you don’t soak up them very properly, you don’t digest them very properly, and your physique has no capability to have the ability to make the most of them the way in which that they’re purported to be utilized.
So, castor oil pack may be very grassroots drugs and it’s terrain drugs, which implies it helps the whole lot 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, all the time 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 try this for a minimum of 1 hour to in a single day. And it’ll assist with cleaning, which implies serving to your bowels to maneuver higher, it’ll assist with lymphatic drainage. So getting all the congestion that could 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 can be actually, actually a very powerful. Individuals, our most typical 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 now have tons 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 commonest 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 actually in all probability some of the foundational practices like exercising, attempting to eat higher, getting 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 medical apply in pediatrics or with youngsters. I might use it in the event that they had been confused, in the event that they weren’t sleeping properly, if any youngsters that had been on the spectrum as a result of it helped to calm them down, I might use it. If they’d any tummy aches within the summertime or indigestion, that was some of the frequent factor that children would come to my medical apply with was that they might be consuming meals and it will trigger them abdomen upset. So getting right into a apply early on of doing these castor oil packs could be nice for teenagers.
And now my youngsters 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 at any time when my youngsters I bear in mind my daughter, her first 12 months of College, I used to be speaking to you ways she’s tremendous impartial and he or she wished to go away from residence straight away. And my daughter is so humorous. The primary week she’s in her indoctrination of faculty and so they exit ingesting one night time and he or she overdoes it. And usually she has a reasonably good weight loss program as a result of she grew up with me, however she overdid it. And he or she referred to 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 at any time when she wouldn’t really feel properly, it’d be the very first thing that she’d placed on.
And I really 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 can assist 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 standard physician. In the event that they’re doing IVF or no matter they’re doing, it helps the whole lot to work higher in that realm, too, which is nice as a result of IVF will be so, so costly. After which postpartum utilizing castor oil packs not on the liver, however really on the pelvic area to assist to reset all of the organs. If a mama has had like a Caesarean scar, it could possibly assist with therapeutic of the Caesarean scar. If organs are all displaced after being pregnant, simply to set issues again quickly. After which, after all, serving to us to breastfeed higher by doing castor oil pack over the pelvic area is essential 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 despair. If we are able to 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 despair. She’ll breastfeed nice and it’ll actually assist her transition into her years after submit 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 smart. And it’s reminder to get again to them frequently. 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 really like that. Affirm! I adore it when folks put important oils. And that basically goes to be depending on what your situations are, what you’re coping with. If you need extra liver assist or when you’ve got numerous irritation in your physique, perhaps you’d go for like frankincense, just a little little bit of buzzword that goes a great distance. Or for those who stress is your factor. For me, stress has all the time been a problem. And so what I all the time mixed it with was issues like lavender or lemon or lemon simply to calm me down and clear my thoughts. And that will all the time assist me to sleep higher. So completely. When you’re just a little important oil maven, get these important oils blended together with your pack and put on it in a single day.
Katie: Nice to know. And likewise, I might guess due to its capability, you talked about nitric oxide and blood move, that it could possibly 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 numerous 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 move to her legs.
Marisol: You bought it. Completely. Like, I might be rubbing in and massaging it. Now we have really a therapeutic massage curler that we use with castor oil. This therapeutic massage curler works actually successfully to simply assist the fibers break by means of. A terrific little hack along 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 may 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 adore it. 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 really 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 could possibly be carried out in an entire physique Lymphatic therapeutic massage sort scenario. However do you suggest this?
Marisol: Sure. So I adore it. 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 really like to make use of it for basic Lymphatic is definitely one thing often called wet-dry brushing. So it’s utilizing a dry brush. So we promote a package as properly too, as a result of we now have all of it, make it straightforward 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 definately go beneath the abdomen and also you pump and also you actually simply faucet the realm. You possibly can put just a little little bit of castor oil in your fingers once you’re rubbing and massaging these areas. Then once more, abdomen into the pelvic area referred to as the Inguinal canal by your pubic space. After which in behind within the knees.
So that you begin by simply gently pumping with just a little little bit of castor oil in your fingers. And you then do what’s referred to as a moist brush. Moist brushing is simply brushing together with your fingers. 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 all the time extra. So quarter dimension, once more, you do the identical form of factor that you simply did together with your facial washing is you rub it between your fingers and you then begin from the within, going outward. So together with your arm, you’d begin like on the shoulder and you sweep with the castor oil upwards in direction of your coronary heart. And also you do that first with castor oil and also you do that throughout your physique.
And you then observe it up with the dry brushing half. So you’re taking your dry brush and also you do the very same factor. So you then 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 eliminate so many alternative issues in your cupboard that you simply don’t really want anymore. Proper? As a result of castor oil can change it, which is good, or you should utilize it together. Say you might have a favourite physique cream that has like superb important oils. You may simply put it together with that and you then get one of the best of each worlds.
Katie: And are there any threat or issues to concentrate on with castor oil contraindications or instances that shouldn’t be used aside from we talked about being pregnant. However like for example, does it make you extra delicate to the solar? Do folks with sure situations must keep away from it? Any particular issues?
Marisol: I really like that. So like all oils, for those who’re going to be baking out within the solar, after all it’s going to mirror and it may trigger to have just a little 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 many who could be utilizing castor oil to lymphatic drain across the breast space, I’d be cautious with utilizing castor oil or any form of oil for that matter earlier than radiation. So that will be just a little 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 wish 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 chance with any form of scar she will be able to create a keloid. And keloids develop into very unattractive and so they’re simply actually uncomfortable too, and so they block energetics as properly too of your physique. So the minute that we now have any form of surgical procedure, even when it’s a microscopic, a small surgical procedure, something making use of castor oil submit surgical procedure, it could possibly 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 form of surgical procedure, making use of castor oil can simply assist with lymphatic move and therapeutic of any scars afterwards. In order that’s an important little hack as properly too.
Katie: Is smart. And to not use it till it’s really 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 for example, dissolve surgical glue or one thing like that. So that you wouldn’t wish to use it.
Marisol: Okay, yeah, you bought it. It’s so highly effective. I believe perhaps it’s due to the title of castor oil. Castor oil is named the palm of Christ oil. I simply discover that to be in all probability 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 prior 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 abruptly and maximize the time, good or dangerous, 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 wish to watch out with utilizing packs within the sauna, I might use, say for those who 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’s an outdoor plastic layer on it’s the healthiest model of plastic that we are able to discover. However nonetheless, so as to make the packs much less messy, we’ve obtained 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 wish to have any threat. We’re undecided if the plastic may undergo for those who’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 in a position to 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 probably the greatest issues for me to once more, and I really 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 essential high quality issues in the case of castor oil. And similar to all of those advantages will be so useful for those who aren’t utilizing supply, it looks as if there’s really some potential threat connected. So if somebody goes to strive this stuff, what issues do they should search for in a castor oil to ensure they’re getting a secure 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 best high quality and finest supply of oil and pack. And the reason is is that we do it together with your well being in thoughts as a result of the oil primary, you could 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 easiest provider oil that exists. So it carries the whole lot into the physique. And for those who’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 really 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 buddies, for my household, and for your entire buddies and your loved ones. We’re good buddies. I don’t wish to ever do something that isn’t good for folks.
So it completely requires to be in glass in any respect cut-off dates, even for those who’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 really getting the advantages of the castor oil and plastic and castor oil, the explanation 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 the case of the castor oil pack, the instrument, the pack itself, we’ve obtained to watch out as a result of there’s so many in the marketplace that use natural bamboo, which feels like it will be actually good for you, however natural bamboo is definitely fairly poisonous for those who have 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 development as a result of it’s as robust as metal. And so so as to break down metal, think about what sort of chemical substances you bought to make use of so as to break down metal. And since bamboo is eco-friendly, they use much less water to scrub it. So you’ll be able to think about that bamboo now’s going to be having chemical substances with it. After which more often than not, bamboo isn’t simply bamboo fibers. The cellulose from bamboo, it’s really bamboo fibers blended with rayon, which is plastic and rayon. In an effort to make it softer, they use phthalate sprayed on it. So it could possibly develop into 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 is no such thing as a doubt about it.
And also you’re in search of flannel. You don’t need a velour as a result of natural cotton velour is mixed with, once more, plastic fibers. There’s so many issues in the case of materials, so it completely have to be natural cotton, flannel, like, little question about it. And natural castor oil in glass, all the time. And processing of castor oil must be expeller, pressed, and hexane free and pure. You don’t need something blended in together 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 it’s used a number of instances earlier than washing or is that this in each single use it’s essential to wash it?
Marisol: I really like that. So you should utilize it a number of instances with out washing it. And ideally, you change the castor oil pack after about two months of normal utilization. So for those who’re utilizing it day by day so 60 remedies, you wish to get a brand new pack. It nonetheless may 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 bit of material or materials, however you do must as a result of we’re undecided. 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 wish to be sure that we don’t try this.
The opposite factor too is that I can get away for those who 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 a minimum of 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 middle of the pack, it’s meant to have the ability to try this. However not everybody is in a position to try this. So if you need to, you’ll be able to wash it and you then 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 too can put it into your dishwasher. I do some hack the place I put mine into my dishwasher and I try this with like clear dish cleaning soap after which that’s a fast, straightforward option to clear it out as properly too. It’s by no means excellent although, after you wash it and finally you’re going to wish to change it. In order that’s in all probability one of the best factor to know.
After which the one different facet notice on that’s in case you are 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 you then’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 numerous various things and also you wish to form of preserve it for every space and it’s additionally scientifically designed to suit the realm and to cope with the dermatomes and the visceral reflexes which can be 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 might have sources, clarify in depth all of those various things past what we are able to cowl in a 1 hour podcast episode. So I’ll hyperlink to a few of my favourite content material you might have associated to that, in addition to to all these specifics of the place to search out the whole lot. However within the curiosity of time, I all the time like to ask a couple of questions on the finish of interviews. The primary being if there’s a guide 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 begin with in all probability a very powerful once I was a affected person, sorry, not a affected person, once I was in my first 12 months of medical apply, considered one of my sufferers got here and he or she was a beautiful girl who regarded like she was about 20, however she was really 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 informed me that the whole lot that it’s essential to find out 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 actually I discovered it to be a really massive 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 may reap out of the Bible, together with wonderful issues to stay 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, historic, 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 move, that impacted me significantly. And one other guide could be The Recreation of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. Once more, it’s early nineteenth century. She was an exquisite lady. In all probability 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 in all probability one of many first ladies to actually convey it to life exterior of religious circles. So I actually love her guide, The Recreation of Life. It’s a superb 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’re very multi-lingual as properly. That’s unimaginable and spectacular. I’ll hyperlink to these as properly within the present notes for you guys listening. The whole lot is at wellnessmama.fm. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners that could possibly be associated to castor oil or could possibly be unrelated life recommendation that’s been useful to you.
Marisol: Superior. I believe in all probability a very powerful factor to say is simply to remind folks that you simply’ve obtained 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 place a bandaid on it to place consideration and draw the eye there and get the physique its personal therapeutic and very important drive working. So I believe that’s in all probability a very powerful factor concerning the castor oil packs.
After which secondly, as with the whole lot, it’s simply apply 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 crucial. I used to be simply so imply to myself. The issues that I might say to myself, I wouldn’t even say to a finest buddy. 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 similar to, love and acceptance and pleasure and coming from my coronary heart and talking my fact, the extra that I journeyed in these stunning, form 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 obtained 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 apply is simply to take action.
