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 numerous traction. I see it on social media on a regular basis and I really feel like there’s some vital caveats we’re going to get to delve into while you’re utilizing Castor Oil. However earlier than we get to that matter, I even have a word out of your bio that you’ve a light well being retreat habit and I wish to hear about this and likewise what’s probably 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 bought into Castor oil packs, as a result of Castor Oil Packs have been what shifted stress for me. And I noticed that in our busy day-to-day life, it’s fairly intense and it’s laborious to generally do what you might want to do with the intention to and study the practices and undertake them right into a day by day common ritual.
And I discovered that the adoption of going to retreats really 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 first rate retreat. However you go. After which what finally ends up taking place is you study all these new expertise and also you apply them day-in and day-out. However then while you come again into your regular day-to-day loopy youngsters operating round, driving, all that shebang that we have now to do as mother, after which we get again into the swing of issues. However we now are within the swing of issues with these new adopted well being practices. And whilst a naturopathic physician, I’m not good both and I fall off the bandwagon on a regular basis and I bought 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 apply 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 no less than, having good relationships with girls has all the time been just a little little bit of a battle. Like, I’ve a couple of very shut mates, however I’ve been extra reserved in teams of girls and so it was such an incredible group and the curator did an incredible job with that. However there have been additionally all of the well being points concerned and we even one evening made drums with goat pores and skin and bought 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 excellent reset. And so now I’m a giant fan of even if you happen to’re not going to go to a well being retreat, like curate that have with native mates or like a bunch of girls mates, as a result of I feel that point is so helpful.
Marisol: It’s simply getting again to your self. Proper. And for me, the perfect 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 girls. However I’m engaged on that. That’s form of certainly one of my objectives is to get higher girls mates. In order that method 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 lovely. And we bought 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 girls who’re additionally inside the business 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 deliver a lot to the world after 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 pressure of nature and we have now a lot affect in the best way we’re interacting with the subsequent technology. Additionally with the best way that we have now a lot buying energy inside society and that actually nurturing that connection will be such an impactful device for girls, particularly.
Marisol: 1,000,000 %. 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 concerning the matter of castor oil. Like I stated, this appears to be having an enormous explosion on social media proper now and with good purpose. And to begin broad, I might guess most individuals by now have no less than heard of it as a result of it’s getting so in style. 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 assume one of the simplest ways 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 feel, within the 90s or the early 2000s, which was My Huge 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 bought launched to it, it was about 20 years in the past after 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 bought 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 every single place, however I see it dusty, I see it generally, I see it just a little bit increased, nevertheless it 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 bought the phrase which actually caught to me was that somebody in a well being meals retailer instructed me that it was the primary factor that you simply wish to have in your at-home pure pharmacy cupboard. For any form of sprains, strains, boo-boos or accidents or sunburns, mosquito bites through the summertime. Actually like scrapes on the knees, something like that. Dry pores and skin. After which cosmetically as properly too. So it was each good for pharmaceutical, to your pharmacy, like your pure natural pharmacy, and your magnificence cupboard at dwelling. 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 various issues that it really after I was instructed 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 discipline 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 possibly making a scrumptious shake with mango or peanut butter or one thing, or frying, I’ve even heard like, folks frying eggs with castor oil to induce labor.
So it was 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 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 identified for her lovely 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 common wellness, like a terrain drugs, we’d say, to assist all the things that you simply do in your pure, wholesome life-style, work higher.
After which quick ahead. We’ve bought even the normal 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 bought 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 bought such an enormous historical past, and other people 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 Docs 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 might need been just a little bit into witchery or doing just a little little bit of issues off of the books. However however, he actually promoted the usage of castor oil plaques repeatedly. 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 additionally as these fantastic well being selling castor oil packs, which are inclined to take it far more than similar to a laxative or a provider oil, these well being selling packs are terrain drugs, so historic drugs at its greatest.
Katie: It’s so fascinating, and I didn’t even notice it had such an extended historical past. What are a few 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 excellent query. Castor oil is I imply, it’s magical. I have a look at the testimonies on our web site and other people 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 a very powerful to spotlight is it’s the grasp provider oil. In order a provider oil, in comparison with the rest, if you happen to’re utilizing, say, important oils, I’m certain plenty of Wellness Mama’s love is utilizing their important oils. They’re most frequently instructed to make use of issues like candy almond, jojoba oil as a provider oil. However castor oil, I’m 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 hold it on the highest layer of the pores and skin. However inside the dermis, you’re stepping into the circulation, you’re stepping into the Lymphatic system, and also you’re stepping into the place the place you really will be altering how the physique is functioning since you’ve bought that matrix that connective tissue in that space the place the collagen is, proper and the place the collagen is. That’s why castor oil helps with cosmetically enhancing collagen, enhancing the tissue beneath, like plumping it up, so cosmetically you need to use it to plump up your tissues, your pores and skin, your lips, your eyes. If you begin to discover, like, darkish circles underneath your eyes, you need to use Castor Oil there to plump it up.
Different actions of the oil, it’s a pure anti-inflammatory, which is nice, however I imply, plenty of issues are anti-inflammatory, proper? In order that’s not the one factor. It’s wealthy in antioxidants and the antioxidants that it’s wealthy in are Quercetin. Quercetin is an excellent, 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 folks find it irresistible, is as a result of it helps with oxygenation to the tissues and wherever there may be extra oxygenation, there may be more healthy cells, there’s much less growing older. So it helps that course of and that’s not solely beauty, but additionally self-care sensible, proper? As a result of if we have now higher oxygenation to our digestive tract, higher oxygenation to our fingers, our toes, our nerves, our coronary heart, our lungs, properly, all the things inside our mind, all the things inside our physique will simply merely work higher. So nitric oxide selling.
On high of it, it recycles glutathione. Glutathione is a brilliant costly complement that many take with the intention to anti-age to enhance their liver cleansing, cleaning drainage. However it’s costly, it’s not very extremely bioavailable, which suggests it’s laborious to soak up. However in castor oil packs and castor oil, it helps to recycle your naturally produced glutathione, which is likely one of the greatest methods, what higher option to get higher cleansing than by recycling what you naturally are already producing? In order that’s superb.
The oil, while 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 listing retains on occurring. I’m not achieved. That is what I’m telling you. It appeared to me the primary time that I heard what castor oil did, I used to be like, what? Like actually? All that? That’s lots! On high of it, it’s a well-known, and that is all researched, a widely known microbiome balancer. It really 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 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 feel that form of covers it.
So pure anti-inflammatory wealthy. In antioxidants, we bought 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 really, in a nutshell, all the most important actions of simply castor oil on itself by itself.
Katie: And I’d like to delve into a few of the particular use-cases inside figuring out these advantages as a result of like I stated, that is now in style. I’ve seen it talked about for therefore many various makes use of and I might love like a affirm or deny, fact versus fantasy form of breakdown of all these various things and likewise to speak about if there’s any danger or advantages that aren’t talked about broadly on social media. So the primary being, I’ve seen folks advocate placing this, as an example, on our eyelids or eyelashes at evening, each for eyelash progress. However I even noticed an optometrist explaining that this might help promote the pure tears of the eyes and the wetness while you blink and all this stuff which can be imagined to occur. So affirm pressing eye, is that this good or dangerous? And ideas for really 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 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 deliver extra vitamins to the realm 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 deliver all of the vitamins you wish to an space, however if you happen to’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 might want 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 immediately on the eyelashes with a mascara brush we even have arising very quickly, an attractive mascara brush in glass, all the time in glass and it simply makes it lots simpler and achieved on the eyebrows as properly, too. So simply to maintain it actually easy and clear and simple.
Within the hair, you may positively 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 then you definitely do the identical on the ends with the intention 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 really heats up the castor oil in your scalp. As a result of if you happen to bear in mind again within the day, these sizzling oil hair therapies, do you bear in mind these, these Vo5 sizzling oil hair therapies?
Katie: Oh, yeah, these have been huge 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 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 no 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 observe it up, for greatest impact is to truly simply place an eye fixed masks over high of it as properly, as a result of then once more, you get that very same impact of the warmth. And each time you’ve gotten 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, 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 better than simply solely placing on the castor oil. In order that’s why we have now compresses for completely all the things.
Now, you stated 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 look within the eye. So in the event that they get a stye, apply castor oil instantly on it. This stye may not even evolve 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 properly, too, that it may assist with recycling of the glutathione within the eye, which is vital as a result of the tissue of the attention, the eyeball, is extremely saturated in glutathione, and as we age, our glutathione ranges lower, and that’s why our eyesight reduces. So it’s tremendous 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 your whole hair, nevertheless it does look like lots of people have had good outcomes utilizing it for growing 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 properly?
Marisol: I find it irresistible. There’s seven well-known important oils. I don’t know if I bear in mind them off the highest of my head, however I do know ylang-ylang, peppermint, rosemary, lavender, and I consider there’s a lemon one and a pair extra which can be wonderful. Now we have if anybody needs 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 girls who’ve Hashimoto’s, as a result of rosmarinic acid helps to unblock an enzyme that’s attacking the hair follicles. And so this goes not just for the scalp of the hair, for these with thyroid issues, they usually discover that they’re dropping their hair on their head, but additionally in the event that they discover that they’re having the standard thyroid signal, which is a lateral eyebrow is beginning to change into 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 might burn. So all the time simply be cautious on that one. However inside the hair, the scalp, the eyebrows, it’s superior to mix the medicines. I imply, I find it irresistible when folks recommend that, as a result of that’s what our medication 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 have been going away completely. 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 could look like this makes it helpful for guys who’ve hair loss as properly, 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 they usually actually on daily basis, 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 most likely 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 good, however managed.
Katie: What about I’ve achieved 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 really like. So I simply do it merely with castor oil, simply because I discover castor oil really like, for me, it’s simply an reasonably priced oil. And also you want so little while you simply use castor oil and also you mix with water and steam. So I’ll take a pleasant, lovely material, natural, ideally an natural cotton material. I’ll activate my faucet, pour sizzling 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 method I take just a little little bit of the filth which may be there from the day, as a result of really, water is the common solvent. So that you begin with that and then you definitely use castor oil. You’re taking just a little 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, when you have like, dry areas of your pores and skin, then you definitely take that very same material that you simply steamed, you set it on the water, you steam it once more, and then you definitely 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 positively 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 bought them on this. And it’s simply so easy. It’s reasonably priced. The oil lasts a very long time. They get into the apply. And the perfect half, after stepping into the apply of it, your pores and skin feels so smooth 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 dwell in a spot with tons and many bugs, so I’ve discovered that this actually is useful on bug bites. And I feel additionally it’s useful when youngsters 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 youngsters. And so that’s actually useful and we all know it’s secure, however it’s there any precise backing affirm 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 really works nice. You need to use it by itself if you happen to’re in a decent spot and also you haven’t been in a position to make just a little method 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 relating to any form of accidents or like scrapes otherwise you need fast therapeutic or bug bites, what you wish to do is you wish to make castor oil into your very personal at dwelling 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 all types of little jars after which I carry it round with me. I’ve one in a kind 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 realm. So then that method all of the therapeutic elements can work higher as a result of numerous 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 they usually don’t work. However if you happen to can alkalinize the tissues after which use the castor oil with it, it really works improbable. It’s my go-to. I all the time have it with me. I by no means go away dwelling with out my little combination of baking soda. One to 1 with castor oil. Tremendous easy.
Katie: Yeah, that is likely to be the best DIY recipe ever.
Marisol: It’s. And so useful. 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 ensure that I hyperlink to that one as properly. However stroll us via what a castor oil pack is and a few of the use-cases of who may wish to do that.
Marisol: Superior. So castor oil packs are nice for your complete household, besides if you happen to’re actively pregnant and also you’re not able to pop it out. So if you happen to’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, if you happen to 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 method with the intention 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 identify it. Anywhere on the physique, you need to use the castor oil pack.
Essentially the most well-known is the castor oil liver pack. And the castor oil liver pack, I imply, once more, goes again, method 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 harassed, our physique can’t heal. When our physique is harassed, it doesn’t matter what you give it, what dietary supplements you give it, nice meals you give it, medicines, all the things, 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 skill to have the ability to make the most of them the best way that they’re imagined to be utilized.
So, castor oil pack could be very grassroots drugs and it’s terrain drugs, which suggests it helps all the things 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 no less than 1 hour to in a single day. And it’ll assist with cleaning, which suggests serving to your bowels to maneuver higher, it’ll assist with lymphatic drainage. So getting all the congestion that is likely to 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, really a very powerful. Folks, our commonest testimonial, which I discover is simply superb that everybody makes use of the identical phrases, is that individuals name the castor oil pack a sport changer. I imply, we have now lots of 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 individuals say is it helped me to sleep higher, it helped me to poop higher, and it helped me to really feel higher as a result of it balances your temper, your hormones, all of those various things. So it’s really most likely some of the foundational practices like exercising, making an attempt to eat higher, getting evening’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 after I was in scientific apply in pediatrics or with youngsters. I might use it in the event that they have been harassed, in the event that they weren’t sleeping properly, if any youngsters that have 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 widespread factor that children would come to my scientific apply with was that they might be consuming meals and it could 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 each time 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 unbiased and she or he needed to go away from dwelling immediately. And my daughter is so humorous. The primary week she’s in her indoctrination of faculty they usually exit consuming one evening and she or he overdoes it. And usually she has a fairly good weight-reduction plan as a result of she grew up with me, however she overdid it. And he or she known as me the very first thing within the morning. She’s like, Mother, I forgot my castor oil pack. It’s the very first thing, the one factor I forgot, as a result of she would use it on a regular basis each time she wouldn’t really feel properly, it’d be the very first thing that she’d placed on.
And I really like educating 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 side fertility therapies with their standard physician. In the event that they’re doing IVF or no matter they’re doing, it helps all the things 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 will probably assist with therapeutic of the Caesarean scar. If organs are all displaced after being pregnant, simply to set issues again quickly. After which, after all, serving to us to breastfeed higher by doing castor oil pack over the pelvic area is vital as a result of once more, it’s going to assist your ovaries to reset themselves in a pleasant, wholesome method. And that hypothalamic adrenal ovarian entry that will get disbalanced throughout being pregnant and after being pregnant. And that’s one of many main causes of postpartum 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 rather 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? Scorching flashes, evening sweats, those 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 while 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 repeatedly. 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 evening or is it beneficial to make use of by itself?
Marisol: I really like that. Verify! I find it irresistible when folks put important oils. And that actually goes to be depending on what your situations are, what you’re coping with. If you need extra liver assist or when you have numerous irritation in your physique, possibly you’ll go for like frankincense, just a little little bit of buzzword that goes a good distance. Or if you happen to 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 might all the time assist me to sleep higher. So completely. Should 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 skill, you talked about nitric oxide and blood circulation, that it could possibly be used on websites of like, soreness or harm 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 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 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 via. An important little hack along with her shin splints is I might 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 you could with the therapeutic massage curler ball actually successfully get in with castor oil. After which I might be positively together with some frankincense oil. With the castor oil all blended in collectively, it makes an superior, superior little protocol.
Katie: I find it irresistible. And so, talking of therapeutic massage, and we’ve talked about Lymphatic drainage fairly a bit. I’ve additionally seen this mixed with folks utilizing like gulsha on the face for Lymphatic. And I really 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 might guess then it could possibly be achieved in an entire physique Lymphatic therapeutic massage sort scenario. However do you advocate this?
Marisol: Sure. So I find it irresistible. So for certain, cosmetically with gulsha, completely. Even with cups, anybody utilizing the beauty cups, they’ll use that as properly too. Like the normal do the cupping remedy for facial and beauty. The best way that I really 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 equipment as properly too, as a result of we have now all of it, make it simple for folks to get all of the entry to the instruments.
So what you do is you do the standard Lymphatic opening motion. So that you begin by opening up the Lymphatic zones. So once more, that’s like proper right here on the collarbone, on high of the collarbone, in behind of the ears, you’re trying 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 realm. You can put just a little little bit of castor oil in your arms while 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 just a little little bit of castor oil in your arms. And then you definitely do what’s known as a moist brush. Moist brushing is simply brushing together with your arms. 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 simply did together with your facial washing is you rub it between your arms and then you definitely begin from the within, going outward. So together with your arm, you’ll 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 then you definitely observe it up with the dry brushing half. So you’re taking your dry brush and also you do the very same factor. So then you definitely 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 eliminate so many various issues in your cupboard that you simply don’t really want anymore. Proper? As a result of castor oil can substitute it, which is sweet, or you need to use it together. Say you’ve gotten a favourite physique cream that has like superb important oils. You possibly can simply put it together with that and then you definitely get the perfect of each worlds.
Katie: And are there any danger or issues to pay attention to with castor oil contraindications or instances that shouldn’t be used aside from we talked about being pregnant. However like as an example, does it make you extra delicate to the solar? Do folks with sure situations must keep away from it? Any particular considerations?
Marisol: I really like that. So like all oils, if you happen to’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 individuals who is likely to 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 might be just a little 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 change into very unattractive they usually’re simply actually uncomfortable too, they usually block energetics as properly too of your physique. So the minute that we have now any 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 properly too.
Katie: Is sensible. 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 as an 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 feel possibly it’s due to the identify of castor oil. Castor oil is known as the palm of Christ oil. I simply discover that to be most likely very telling of what castor oil does. Like, it’s simply beautifully highly effective.
Katie: And I’m additionally a giant fan of behavior stacking so one factor I’ve achieved previously, however you may inform me this isn’t a good suggestion, is to mix castor oil with pink mild, with meditation. Like something I can do suddenly 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 assume it’s a nasty factor. I feel you wish to watch out with utilizing packs within the sauna, I might use, say if you happen to did a sauna, use it, put the pack on afterwards and with pink mild I might put the castor oil on pink mild after which afterwards put the pack just because there may be an outdoor plastic layer on it’s the healthiest model of plastic that we are able to discover. However nonetheless, with the intention to make the packs much less messy, we’ve bought 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 danger. We’re unsure if the plastic may undergo if you happen to’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 after I was making an attempt 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 vital high quality considerations relating to castor oil. And similar to all of those advantages will be so useful if you happen to aren’t utilizing supply, it looks as if there’s really some potential danger hooked up. So if somebody goes to attempt 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 learning 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 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 all the things into the physique. And if you happen to’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 with the intention to management it even additional. As a result of I exploit castor oil a lot in my life, for me, for my mates, for my household, and for your whole mates and your loved ones. We’re good mates. 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 deadlines, even if you happen to’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 rationale 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 relating to the castor oil pack, the device, the pack itself, we’ve bought 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 if you happen to have 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 with the intention to break down metal, think about what sort of chemical compounds you bought to make use of with the intention 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 compounds 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. With a purpose to make it softer, they use phthalate sprayed on it. So it will probably change 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 on the lookout for flannel. You don’t desire a velour as a result of natural cotton velour is mixed with, once more, plastic fibers. There’s so many issues relating to materials, so it completely have to be natural cotton, flannel, like, little doubt 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 must be washed and are there any particular issues for that? Can or not it’s used a number of instances earlier than washing or is that this in each single use you might want to wash it?
Marisol: I really like that. So you need to use it a number of instances with out washing it. And ideally, you substitute the castor oil pack after about two months of normal utilization. So if you happen to’re utilizing it on daily basis so 60 therapies, you wish to get a brand new pack. It nonetheless could be very reasonably priced 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 material or materials, however you do must as a result of we’re unsure. Once more, castor oil carries issues out and in, so there’s a possible that castor oil may 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 if you happen to 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 no less than a month with out having to do something with it and generally I am 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 ready to do this. So if you need to, you may wash it and then you definitely merely wash it with sizzling soak it in sizzling water and baking soda in a single day after which rinse it with good clear cleaning soap and lay it flat to dry. You can too put it into your dishwasher. I perform a little 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, simple option to clear it out as properly too. It’s by no means good although, after you wash it and finally you’re going to wish to substitute it. In order that’s most likely the perfect factor to know.
After which the one different aspect word on that’s if you’re doing like a hormone protocol. Hormone protocols could be like the place you do a liver pack from bleed from menstruation to your ovulation and then you definitely’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 hold 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’ve gotten 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’ve gotten associated to that, in addition to to all these specifics of the place to search out all the things. 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 eternally. However I’m going to begin with most likely a very powerful after I was a affected person, sorry, not a affected person, after I was in my first 12 months of scientific apply, certainly one of my sufferers got here and she or he was a stunning girl who appeared like she was about 20, however she was really like 60. And he or she stated to me, I owe it to castor oil, which was I already cherished her proper off the bat, however she had instructed me that all the things that you might want to learn 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 huge inspiration for therapeutic and protocols and all various things like Genesis is a superb seven day cleanse. There’s so many various superb issues you could reap out of the Bible, together with wonderful issues to dwell by, like reap what you sow, all these totally different fantastic 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 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 drastically. 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 girl. In all probability one of many first girl metaphysicians, which implies that she would work inside the phrase and inside 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 deliver it to life outdoors of non secular circles. So I actually love her guide, The Recreation of Life. It’s a wonderful learn and I’ve learn it in each language, as with the Bible, Spanish, Italian, French, German and now I’m engaged on studying some Portuguese.
Katie: I neglect this from our final episode. You might be very multi-lingual as properly. That’s unbelievable and spectacular. I’ll hyperlink to these as properly within the present notes for you guys listening. All the pieces 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 a very powerful factor to say is simply to remind folks that you simply’ve bought to make use of a pack to do a castor oil pack. In my career, so many practitioners are generally simply recommending to simply rub the oil on the physique to get the impact. It gained’t be the identical factor. The castor oil pack is rather like a bandaid. When your child has a boo-boo, you set a bandaid on it to place consideration and draw the eye there and get the physique its personal therapeutic and very important pressure working. So I feel that’s most likely a very powerful factor concerning the castor oil packs.
After which secondly, as with all the things, it’s simply apply and about being light with your self whilst 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 might say to myself, I wouldn’t even say to a greatest good friend. 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 lovely, type 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 bought 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. And accomplish that with the intent to apply and the intent to be light with oneself.
