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 feel that is very well timed dialog as a result of Castor Oil is definitely gaining a number of 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 if you’re utilizing Castor Oil. However earlier than we get to that subject, I even have a be aware out of your bio that you’ve a light well being retreat habit 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 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 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 laborious to typically do what you must do in an effort to and study 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 every week and even as much as 4 days, I feel you want a minimal of three to 4 days to go on a fairly respectable retreat. However you go. After which what finally ends up occurring is you study all these new expertise and also you follow them day-in and day-out. However then if you come again into your regular day-to-day loopy children operating round, driving, all that shebang that we’ve 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 whilst a naturopathic physician, I’m not good 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 an everyday quarterly foundation simply actually helps me to have the ability to simply reset and get again into my common follow and routine that’s so important for staying wholesome in the long term.
Katie: I find it irresistible. I went on a girls’s well being retreat a few years in the past and it was such a enjoyable expertise. I really feel like for me not less than, having good relationships with girls has all the time been somewhat little bit of a battle. Like, I’ve a couple of very shut pals, 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 elements concerned and we even one evening 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’d have by no means thought to do. However to your level, I really feel prefer it was an excellent 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 bunch of ladies pals, as a result of I feel that point is so worthwhile.
Marisol: It’s simply getting again to your self. Proper. And for me, the very best one that you just 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 girls. However I’m engaged on that. That’s form of one in every of my objectives is to get higher girls pals. In order that manner 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 produced from scratch after which we danced and moved the music of all of the completely different chakras. So once more, it’s about bonding with our fellow girls who’re additionally throughout the trade or magical as a result of we simply have such energy as girls. I discover we actually are the earth maidens of the world and we are able to convey a lot to the world once we tune in. Once we tune in.
Katie: I agree. And I stated that so many instances in several methods on this podcast of I consider mothers particularly, are such a drive of nature and we’ve a lot affect in the best way we’re interacting with the following era. Additionally with the best way that we’ve a lot buying energy inside society and that basically nurturing that connection could be such an impactful instrument for ladies, particularly.
Marisol: 1,000,000 p.c. 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 study extra from you in regards to the subject of castor oil. Like I stated, this appears to be having an enormous explosion on social media proper now and with good cause. And to start out broad, I’d guess most individuals by now have not less than heard of it as a result of it’s getting so common. However are you able to stroll us via what it’s and what makes it so distinctive from a well being perspective?
Marisol: Superior. Effectively, castor oil for me. I suppose one of the best ways that I can clarify this I used to be actually interested by this, and I’ve all the time considered that is there was a film again, I feel, 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, after I first acquired launched to it, it was about 20 years in the past after 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 typically, I see it somewhat bit increased, but it surely was all the time there it doesn’t matter what.
After which individuals 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 just 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 nicely too. So it was each good for pharmaceutical, to 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 after I was instructed about what it truly did do, I truly felt it was somewhat 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 typical medical subject for a laxative. So it was initially prescribed by many medical doctors within the 1900 as a laxative. And it could be taking like one teaspoon to 2 teaspoons, as much as like 4 tablespoons to go to the lavatory 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, individuals frying eggs with castor oil to induce labor.
So it was all the time often known as that. It’s an oil that helps to maneuver via 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 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 total common wellness, like a terrain drugs, we might say, to assist every little thing that you just do in your pure, wholesome life-style, work higher.
After which quick ahead. We’ve acquired even the standard Chinese language medical medical doctors 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 fashionable prophet or one of many first Natural Pure Medical Medical doctors of America, however he was often known as a sleeping prophet. And he’s a bit debatable as a result of some camps assume that he may need been somewhat bit into witchery or doing somewhat little bit of issues off of the books. However however, he actually promoted the usage of castor oil plaques often. And I feel 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 in addition as these fantastic well being selling castor oil packs, which are likely to take it rather more than identical to a laxative or a service 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 understand 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 excellent 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, it is a sport changer. That is magical. And it’s due to all of its properties. So, primary, I feel that is crucial to spotlight is it’s the grasp service oil. In order a service oil, in comparison with the rest, when you’re utilizing, say, important oils, I’m certain a lot 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 service oil. However castor oil, I’m stunned when extra individuals aren’t recommending castor oil as a result of castor oil is the grasp service 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 entering into the circulation, you’re entering into the Lymphatic system, and also you’re entering into the place the place you truly could 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 should utilize 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 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, a lot 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, fantastic 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 individuals 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 ageing. So it helps that course of and that’s not solely beauty, but in addition self-care clever, proper? As a result of if we’ve higher oxygenation to our digestive tract, higher oxygenation to our fingers, our toes, our nerves, our coronary heart, our lungs, nicely, every little thing inside our mind, every little thing inside our physique will simply merely work higher. So nitric oxide selling.
On prime of it, it recycles glutathione. Glutathione is a brilliant costly complement that many take in an effort to anti-age to enhance their liver detoxing, cleaning drainage. However it’s costly, it’s not very extremely bioavailable, which implies it’s laborious to soak up. However in castor oil packs and castor oil, it helps to recycle your naturally produced glutathione, which is among the greatest methods, what higher strategy to get higher detoxing than by recycling what you naturally are already producing? In order that’s wonderful.
The oil, if 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 record retains on occurring. I’m not accomplished. 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 prime of it, it’s a well-known, and that is all researched, a well known microbiome balancer. It truly breaks down one thing often known as biofilm. And biofilm is that nasty layer, like a protecting layer, that dangerous micro organism, dangerous yeasts, parasites that could 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 among the only a few pure biofilm breakdown issues that break down biofilm, which is superior. In order that’s main about it. I feel that form 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 transferring. It additionally strikes your circulation and your Lymphatic system and it’s the grasp service so these are really, in a nutshell, all the essential 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 stated, that is now common. I’ve seen it talked about for therefore many alternative makes use of and I’d love like a verify or deny, reality versus fantasy 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 individuals suggest placing this, as an illustration, on our eyelids or eyelashes at evening, each for eyelash progress. However I even noticed an optometrist explaining that this can assist promote the pure tears of the eyes and the wetness if you blink and all these items which can be imagined to occur. So verify pressing eye, is that this good or dangerous? 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 progress so you may even lengthen it to eyebrows and the hair on the pinnacle, 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 may feed the hair follicle and that’s how the expansion will occur. However past that, it additionally helps with drainage. Lymphatic drainage, you may convey all of the vitamins you wish 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 may’t develop something you must have that good and pure steadiness. And that’s what occurs with castor oil within the eye space positioned on the eyelashes. So I simply place it immediately on the eyelashes with a mascara brush we even have developing very quickly, a fantastic mascara brush in glass, all the time in glass and it simply makes it rather a lot simpler and accomplished on the eyebrows as nicely, too. So simply to maintain it actually easy and clear and simple.
Within the hair, you may undoubtedly put within the hair. It’s completely different since you don’t wish to soak castor oil all in your hair since you might knot your hair up as a result of it’s such a thick oil. With the hair, all you do is you mainly cut up up the areas and also you apply castor oil on the roots and then you definately do the identical on the ends in an effort 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 anyplace and in order that it truly heats up the castor oil in your scalp. As a result of when you keep in mind again within the day, these scorching oil hair remedies, do you keep in mind these, these Vo5 scorching oil hair remedies?
Katie: Oh, yeah, these had been large after 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 to 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 identical to my look. However earlier than, I might by no means develop my hair lengthy with out it splitting and cracking. And with doing that common routine not less than as soon as every week, it was very, very efficient for my hair progress.
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 comply with it up, for greatest impact is to really simply place a watch masks over prime of it as nicely, as a result of then once more, you get that very same impact of the warmth. And at any time when you’ve 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 ultimately I’ll discover it. I imply, most likely one other 20 years it’ll take me to search 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’ve compresses for completely every little thing.
Now, you stated 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 seem within the eye. So in the event that they get a stye, apply castor oil instantly on it. This stye may not even evolve utterly as a result of it’ll simply dissolve. It’s fairly fascinating. After which once more, you may 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 may be probably an impact as nicely, too, that it might 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: Effectively, 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 stated on all your hair, but it surely does seem to be lots of people have had good outcomes utilizing it for rising hair progress 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 information so as to add like a teeny little bit of rosemary or peppermint oil to it to form of stimulate blood circulation to the scalp. Is that useful as nicely?
Marisol: I find it irresistible. There’s seven well-known important oils. I don’t know if I keep 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 glorious. 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 service 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 shedding their hair on their head, but in addition in the event that they discover that they’re having the standard thyroid signal, which is a lateral eyebrow is beginning to turn out to be skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny. Similar 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 may 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 find it irresistible when individuals 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 had been going away fully. 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 could seem to be this makes it helpful for guys who’ve hair loss as nicely, as a result of that very same enzyme is related to male sample baldness, I feel.
Marisol: You bought it. You bought it. So an excellent 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 in any case as a result of they’re going bald. So that they shave all of it down and so they actually every single 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 wish to both wrap it or as a result of it can 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 good, however managed.
Katie: What about I’ve accomplished 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 evening 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 if 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 manner I take somewhat little bit of the dust 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 somewhat dime measurement 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, in case you have like, dry areas of your pores and skin, then you definately take that very same material that you just steamed, you place 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 completely 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 follow. And the very best half, after entering into the follow of it, your pores and skin feels so tender 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 looks 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 somewhat 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 feel additionally it’s useful when children need one thing as a treatment for a bug chunk or for a boo-boo of some kind. 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 children. 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: Verify. And also you do them. You make it in several methods so it truly works nice. You should utilize it by itself when you’re in a good spot and also you haven’t been capable of make somewhat formulation that I’m going to show you guys how you can make proper now. However with dry pores and skin, you may 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 house pure pomade. So that you combine baking soda one to 1 with castor oil. It ought to come out like a thick paste, like somewhat 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 after 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 manner all of the therapeutic elements can work higher as a result of a number of instances 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 and so they don’t work. However when you can alkalinize the tissues after which use the castor oil with it, it really works unbelievable. It’s my go-to. I all the time have it with me. I by no means depart house with out my little combination of baking soda. One to 1 with castor oil. Tremendous easy.
Katie: Yeah, that is perhaps the simplest 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 excellent 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 sure I hyperlink to that one as nicely. However stroll us via what a castor oil pack is and among the use-cases of who would possibly wish to do that.
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 may’t use castor oil packs, however after being pregnant you completely can. In order that’s an excellent 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 mainly an natural cotton material that’s formed in a sure manner in an effort 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 mainly the knees, joints, you title it. Anyplace on the physique, you should utilize the castor oil pack.
Probably the most well-known is the castor oil liver pack. And the castor oil liver pack, I imply, once more, goes again, manner again to the outdated, the primary medical medical doctors, 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 operate higher? And largest difficulty with our well being and our therapeutic is that we’re so pressured, our physique can’t heal. When our physique is pressured, it doesn’t matter what you give it, what dietary supplements you give it, nice meals you give it, medicines, every little thing, they merely simply don’t work very nicely, you don’t soak up them very nicely, you don’t digest them very nicely, and your physique has no means to have the ability to make the most of them the best way that they’re imagined to be utilized.
So, castor oil pack may be very grassroots drugs and it’s terrain drugs, which implies it helps every little thing that you just’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 do this for not less than 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 is perhaps in your tissues, bloatedness, any sort of even extreme weight typically that you just’re carrying, this helps with lymphatic drainage, water retention, all of that.
After which it additionally helps with liver detoxifying. So serving to to steadiness your hormones, steadiness your sleep cycle, steadiness all of the elements of our physique which can be actually, really crucial. Individuals, our commonest testimonial, which I discover is simply wonderful that everybody makes use of the identical phrases, is that folks name the castor oil pack a sport changer. I imply, we’ve a whole lot of testimonials the place individuals 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 probably the most foundational practices like exercising, attempting to eat higher, getting a very good evening’s relaxation. And it helps with all of these issues too, taking your dietary supplements. So it’s so, so foundational. And I take advantage of it throughout the board with each single affected person, particularly after I was in medical follow in pediatrics or with youngsters. I’d use it in the event that they had been pressured, in the event that they weren’t sleeping nicely, if any youngsters that had been on the spectrum as a result of it helped to calm them down, I’d use it. If that they had any tummy aches within the summertime or indigestion, that was probably the most frequent factor that youngsters would come to my medical follow with was that they might be consuming meals and it could trigger them abdomen upset. So getting right into a follow early on of doing these castor oil packs could be nice for youths.
And now my youngsters are grown. I imply, I’ve been in castor oil drugs for over 20 years. My children are 20 and 22 now. And so my children very a lot grew up with castor oil and castor oil packs. So now at any time when my children I keep in mind my daughter, her first yr of College, I used to be speaking to you the way she’s tremendous unbiased and she or he needed to go away from house immediately. And my daughter is so humorous. The primary week she’s in her indoctrination of faculty and so they exit ingesting one evening and she or he overdoes it. And usually she has a fairly good food 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 at any time when she wouldn’t really feel nicely, it’d be the very first thing that she’d placed on.
And I like educating children 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 nicely, 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 together with fertility remedies with their typical physician. In the event that they’re doing IVF or no matter they’re doing, it helps every little thing to work higher in that realm, too, which is nice as a result of IVF could 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 may possibly 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 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 she or he’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 put up child. So actually nice alongside the spectrum of life after which girls in menopause or transitioning, proper? Sizzling flashes, evening sweats, people who do castor oil packs have much less severity of menopausal signs, which is sweet as a result of Castor Oil Packs helps them to cleanse higher. And if 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 a very good 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 overlook about it.

Katie: Can important oils be mixed with it at evening or is it beneficial to make use of by itself?
Marisol: I like that. Verify! I find it irresistible when individuals 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 help or in case you have a number of irritation in your physique, perhaps you’d go for like frankincense, somewhat little bit of buzzword that goes a great distance. Or when you 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 may all the time assist me to sleep higher. So completely. If you happen to’re somewhat important oil maven, get these important oils combined along with your pack and put on it in a single day.
Katie: Nice to know. And in addition, I’d guess due to its means, you talked about nitric oxide and blood circulation, that it could possibly be used on websites of like, soreness or damage after exercise as nicely. I’m asking considerably self-centeredly as a result of my daughter has shin splints from doing a number of exercises, and I’m questioning if at evening 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’d be rubbing in and massaging it. Now we have truly a therapeutic massage curler that we use with castor oil. This therapeutic massage curler works actually successfully to simply assist the fibers break via. An ideal little hack along with her shin splints is I’d be 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 which you can with the therapeutic massage curler ball actually successfully get in with castor oil. After which I’d be undoubtedly together with some frankincense oil. With the castor oil all combined 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 individuals utilizing like gulsha on the face for Lymphatic. And I like doing this after 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’d guess then it could possibly be accomplished in an entire 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 nicely too. Like the standard 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 often known as wet-dry brushing. So it’s utilizing a dry brush. So we promote a package as nicely too, as a result of we’ve all of it, make it simple for individuals 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 prime 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. You then go beneath the abdomen and also you pump and also you actually simply faucet the world. You may put somewhat little bit of castor oil in your palms if 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 somewhat 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 measurement 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 measurement, once more, you do the identical form of factor that you just 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 comply with 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 may do away with so many alternative issues in your cupboard that you just don’t actually need anymore. Proper? As a result of castor oil can exchange it, which is sweet, or you should utilize it together. Say you’ve a favourite physique cream that has like wonderful important oils. You possibly can simply put it together with that and then you definately get the very 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 as an illustration, does it make you extra delicate to the solar? Do individuals with sure situations 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 it’s going to replicate and it might trigger to have somewhat 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 therapy. So for individuals who is perhaps 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 may be somewhat contraindication there.
And once more in being pregnant, any open wounds? We don’t sometimes 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 probability with any form of scar she will be able to create a keloid. And keloids turn out to be very unattractive and so they’re simply actually uncomfortable too, and so they block energetics as nicely too of your physique. So the minute that we’ve any form of surgical procedure, even when it’s a microscopic, a small surgical procedure, something making use of castor oil put up 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 evaluate what you select in your life. However any form 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 excellent little hack as nicely too.
Katie: Is smart. And to not use it till it’s truly the pores and skin is closed as a result of I’d guess it additionally as a result of it’s so highly effective, might as an illustration, 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 feel perhaps it’s due to the title 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 accomplished up to now, however you would possibly inform me this isn’t a good suggestion, is to mix castor oil with purple mild, with meditation. Like something I can do all of sudden and maximize the time, good or dangerous, to make use of castor oil with purple mild.
Marisol: I like utilizing castor oil with purple mild. I don’t assume it’s a nasty factor. I feel you wish to watch out with utilizing packs within the sauna, I’d use, say when you did a sauna, use it, put the pack on afterwards and with purple mild I’d put the castor oil on purple mild after which afterwards put the pack just because there may be an out of doors plastic layer on it’s the healthiest model of plastic that we are able to discover. However nonetheless, in an effort 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 wish to have any threat. We’re undecided if the plastic might undergo when you’re heating it up and such. So ideally you do the purple 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 leisure was. After which I used to be lastly capable of get right into a meditation and never go loopy and have a panic assault after I was attempting to do a meditation. So it was among the finest 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 essential high quality issues in the case of castor oil. And identical to all of those advantages could be so useful when you aren’t utilizing a very good supply, it looks like there’s truly some potential threat connected. So if somebody goes to attempt these items, what issues do they should search for in a castor oil to verify they’re getting a secure one?
Marisol: Good. 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 highest 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 will discover it on Amazon or on all these completely different locations pottled in plastic. However the issue with castor oil and plastic is that castor oil, keep in mind, is that magical, the perfect service oil that exists. So it carries every little 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 in an effort to management it even additional. As a result of I take advantage of castor oil a lot in my life, for me, for my pals, for my household, and for all your pals and your loved ones. We’re good pals. I don’t wish to ever do something that isn’t good for individuals.
So it completely requires to be in glass in any respect deadlines, 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 explanation it’s no good is as a result of plastic are hormone disruptors. Plastic sometimes 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 acquired to watch out as a result of there’s so many in the marketplace that use natural bamboo, which feels like it could 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 fantastic 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 in an effort to break down metal, think about what sort of chemical substances you bought to make use of in an effort to break down metal. And since bamboo is eco-friendly, they use much less water to scrub it. So you may 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 truly bamboo fibers combined with rayon, which is plastic and rayon. So as to make it softer, they use phthalate sprayed on it. So it may possibly turn out to be an actual poisonous load that you just’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 a doubt about it.
And also you’re in search of 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 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 combined in along with your castor oil, simply easy castor oil. That’s it.
Katie: And with castor oil packs utilizing all of these items, like we simply talked about, how usually does it have to be washed and are there any particular issues for that? Can it’s used a number of instances earlier than washing or is that this in each single use you must wash it?
Marisol: I like that. So you should utilize it a number of instances with out washing it. And ideally, you exchange the castor oil pack after about two months of standard utilization. So when you’re utilizing it every single 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 assume individuals are very used to eliminating a chunk of fabric 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 ensure that 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 take advantage of my pack for not less than a month with out having to do something with it and typically 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 ready to do this. So if you need to, you may 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. It’s also possible to 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 strategy to clear it out as nicely too. It’s by no means good although, after you wash it and ultimately you’re going to wish to exchange it. In order that’s most likely the very best factor to know.
After which the one different aspect be aware 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 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 a number of various things and also you wish to form of maintain it for every space and it’s additionally scientifically designed to suit the world 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 completely different location of the physique.
Katie: Good to know. And I do know you’ve assets, 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’ve associated to that, in addition to to all these specifics of the place to search out every little thing. 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 e book or variety of books which have profoundly impacted your life and in that case, what they’re and why life.
Marisol: Oh wow, there’s so many books, we might be right here without end. However I’m going to start out with most likely crucial after I was a affected person, sorry, not a affected person, after I was in my first yr of medical follow, one in every of my sufferers got here and she or he was a stunning woman who regarded like she was about 20, however she was truly like 60. And he or she stated to me, I owe it to castor oil, which was I already beloved her proper off the bat, however she had instructed me that every little thing that you must find out about well being and therapeutic is within the Bible. And on the time I wasn’t very spiritual 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 wonderful issues which you can reap out of the Bible, together with glorious issues to stay by, like reap what you sow, all these completely different fantastic metaphors that you just get within the Bible.
After that I’d say Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching. It’s simply once more, historical, outdated ideas 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 tremendously. And one other e book could be The Sport 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 girls to actually convey it to life exterior of religious circles. So I actually love her e book, The Sport 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 overlook this from our final episode. You might be very multi-lingual as nicely. That’s unimaginable and spectacular. I’ll hyperlink to these as nicely within the present notes for you guys listening. Every thing 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 feel most likely crucial factor to say is simply to remind individuals that you just’ve acquired to make use of a pack to do a castor oil pack. In my occupation, so many practitioners are typically 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 important drive working. So I feel that’s most likely crucial factor in regards to the castor oil packs.
After which secondly, as with every little thing, it’s simply follow and about being mild with your self when you’re practising. 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’d 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 reality, the extra that I journeyed in these stunning, sort phrases and the extra that I stated 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 just’re going to tackle, I do hope it’s a castor oil pack in your follow is simply to take action. And achieve this with the intent to follow and the intent to be mild with oneself.
