Marisol: Thanks a lot, Katie. I simply love chatting with you and all of the Wellness Mama Darlings on the market.
Katie: I’m excited to speak once more and I believe that is very well timed dialog as a result of Castor Oil is definitely gaining quite a lot of traction. I see it on social media on a regular basis and I really feel like there’s some necessary caveats we’re going to get to delve into once you’re utilizing Castor Oil. However earlier than we get to that subject, I even have a notice out of your bio that you’ve a gentle well being retreat dependancy and I wish to hear about this and in addition 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 received into Castor oil packs, as a result of Castor Oil Packs had been what shifted stress for me. And I spotted that in our busy day-to-day life, it’s fairly intense and it’s laborious to typically do what you have to do to be able to and be taught the practices and undertake them right into a every day common ritual.
And I discovered that the adoption of going to retreats really actually helps to do this since you say take per week and even as much as 4 days, I believe you want a minimal of three to 4 days to go on a fairly first rate retreat. However you go. After which what finally ends up taking place is you be taught all these new abilities and also you observe them day-in and day-out. However then once you come again into your regular day-to-day loopy youngsters operating round, driving, all that shebang that we now have to do as mother, after which we get again into the swing of issues. However we now are within the swing of issues with these new adopted well being practices. And whilst a naturopathic physician, I’m not excellent both and I fall off the bandwagon on a regular basis and I received 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 observe and routine that’s so important for staying wholesome in the long term.
Katie: I adore it. 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 wrestle. Like, I’ve just a few very shut mates, however I’ve been extra reserved in teams of girls and so it was such a tremendous group and the curator did a tremendous job with that. However there have been additionally all of the well being elements concerned and we even one night time made drums with goat pores and skin and received 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 awesome reset. And so now I’m an enormous fan of even in case you’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 believe that point is so precious.
Marisol: It’s simply getting again to your self. Proper. And for me, one of the best one that you just requested me was one in Puerto Vallarta. It was really a girlfriend of mine and I’ve had an analogous life the place it’s been difficult to attach with girls. However I’m engaged on that. That’s type of certainly one of my targets is to get higher girls mates. 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 received to open up our hearts with the scrumptious cacao that we constructed 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 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 will deliver a lot to the world once we tune in. After we tune in.
Katie: I agree. And I stated that so many occasions in several methods on this podcast of I consider mothers particularly, are such a drive of nature and we now have a lot impression in the best way we’re interacting with the following era. Additionally with the best way that we now have a lot buying energy inside society and that actually nurturing that connection may be such an impactful instrument for girls, particularly.
Marisol: One million p.c. Yeah, I’m proper on board there with you, Katie. For certain, 100%.
Katie: I adore it. Nicely, I additionally am actually excited to be taught 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 motive. And to begin broad, I might guess most individuals by now have not less than heard of it as a result of it’s getting so widespread. However are you able to stroll us by what it’s and what makes it so distinctive from a well being perspective?
Marisol: Superior. Nicely, castor oil for me. I assume one of the best ways that I can clarify this I used to be actually serious about this, and I’ve all the time considered that is there was a film again, I believe, within the 90s or the early 2000s, which was My Large 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 received 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 received launched to castor oil, and it was on the backside of each single well being meals retailer shelf. And I used to be like, what does these items do? I see it all over the place, however I see it dusty, I see it typically, I see it somewhat bit greater, however it 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 received the phrase which actually caught to me was that somebody in a well being meals retailer advised me that it was the primary factor that you just wish to have in your at-home pure pharmacy cupboard. For any type of sprains, strains, boo-boos or accidents or sunburns, mosquito bites in the course of the summertime. Actually like scrapes on the knees, something like that. Dry pores and skin. After which cosmetically as effectively too. So it was each good for pharmaceutical, in 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 really after I was advised about what it really did do, I really 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 type of an oil. It has so many therapeutic helpful properties, and it’s most well-known within the standard medical area for a laxative. So it was initially prescribed by many docs within the 1900 as a laxative. And it will be taking like one teaspoon to 2 teaspoons, as much as like 4 tablespoons to go to the toilet higher, after which additionally midwives and doulas would use it. I’m certain most of the mothers out right here have expertise with taking a few spoonful of castor oil to induce labor or perhaps making a scrumptious shake with mango or peanut butter or one thing, or frying, I’ve even heard like, individuals frying eggs with castor oil to induce labor.
So it was all the time often called that. It’s an oil that helps to maneuver by muscle, transfer the bowels, transfer the uterus, and put together for beginning. However again within the day, again in Hippocrates, within the previous, previous medical texts and again in historical Egypt, Cleopatra was utilizing it for all her beauty wants. So she was identified for her stunning eyes and the whites of her eyes and her beautiful hair and eyebrows. And that was all attributed to castor oil. In order that was the very first use of castor oil cosmetically. After which Hippocrates on the Greek islands, he was recommending castor oil for total basic wellness, like a terrain drugs, we’d say, to assist the whole lot that you just do in your pure, wholesome way of life, work higher.
After which quick ahead. We’ve received even the standard Chinese language medical docs again within the dynasties utilizing castor oil for joint pains and irritation as a castor oil pack. After which we’ve received 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 received such an enormous historical past, and other people actually don’t even acknowledge that previous. After they hear castor oil pack, they consider Edgar Cayce, who’s like the trendy prophet or one of many first Natural Pure Medical Medical doctors of America, however he was often called 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 nonetheless, he actually promoted using castor oil plaques often. And I believe that that was the important thing to castor oil.
So understanding that castor oil has a number of makes use of as an oil all by itself, but in addition as these fantastic well being selling castor oil packs, which are likely to take it way more than similar to a laxative or a provider oil, these well being selling packs are terrain drugs, so historical drugs at its greatest.
Katie: It’s so fascinating, and I didn’t even notice it had such a protracted historical past. What are a number of 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 awesome query. Castor oil is I imply, it’s magical. I take a look at the testimonies on our web site and other people simply say, wow, this can be a recreation changer. That is magical. And it’s due to all of its properties. So, primary, I believe that is a very powerful to focus on is it’s the grasp provider oil. In order a provider oil, in comparison with anything, in case you’re utilizing, say, important oils, I’m certain a number of Wellness Mama’s love is utilizing their important oils. They’re most frequently advised to make use of issues like candy almond, jojoba oil as a provider oil. However castor oil, I’m shocked when extra individuals aren’t recommending castor oil as a result of castor oil is the grasp provider oil and will get the important oils deeper into the dermis.
All different oils maintain it on the highest layer of the pores and skin. However 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 may be altering how the physique is functioning since you’ve received 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 beneath 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, a number 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 a superb, fantastic polyphenol from the Vitamin C household. And this actually helps, I adore it as a result of it helps with therapeutic of the intestine. And once more, something that has to do with Vitamin C helps with collagen formation. In order that’s including to that impact there.
It additionally helps nitric oxide manufacturing. Nitric oxide is in meals present in beets and beet greens. Now, nitric oxide, why individuals adore it, 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 old. So it helps that course of and that isn’t solely beauty, but in addition self-care clever, proper? As a result of if we now have higher oxygenation to our digestive tract, higher oxygenation to our fingers, our toes, our nerves, our coronary heart, our lungs, effectively, the whole lot inside our mind, the whole lot inside our physique will simply merely work higher. So nitric oxide selling.
On high of it, it recycles glutathione. Glutathione is an excellent costly complement that many take to be able to anti-age to enhance their liver cleansing, cleaning drainage. Nevertheless 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 without doubt one of the greatest methods, what higher technique to get higher cleansing than by recycling what you naturally are already producing? In order that’s superb.
The oil, once you put it in your pores and skin topically, you really additionally promote dopamine, which is a really feel good neurotransmitter. So I imply, the checklist retains on happening. I’m not performed. 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 loads! On high of it, it’s a well-known, and that is all researched, a well known microbiome balancer. It really breaks down one thing often called biofilm. And biofilm is that nasty layer, like a protecting layer, that dangerous micro organism, dangerous yeasts, parasites which may be inside our gut or our mucosal membranes that they mainly create as a protecting mechanism in order that they don’t get taken out of the gut and changed by good and wholesome micro organism that make us really feel higher. So Castor Oil is without doubt one of the only a few pure biofilm breakdown issues that break down biofilm, which is superior. In order that’s main about it. I believe that type of covers it.
So pure anti-inflammatory wealthy. In antioxidants, we received 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 provider so these are actually, in a nutshell, the entire most important actions of simply castor oil on itself by itself.
Katie: And I’d like to delve into a number of the particular use-cases inside understanding these advantages as a result of like I stated, that is now widespread. I’ve seen it talked about for thus many alternative makes use of and I might love like a verify or deny, fact versus fable type of breakdown of all these various things and in addition to speak about if there’s any danger or advantages that aren’t talked about broadly on social media. So the primary being, I’ve seen individuals advocate placing this, as an example, on our eyelids or eyelashes at night time, each for eyelash progress. However I even noticed an optometrist explaining that this may help promote the pure tears of the eyes and the wetness once you blink and all these items which can be alleged to occur. So verify pressing eye, is that this good or dangerous? And suggestions for really doing that.
Marisol: Superior. Confirmed. It’s good. Once more, it has to do with the physiology going beneath of enhancing our hair progress so you may even prolong 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 deliver 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 deliver all of the vitamins you wish to an space, however in case you’re not draining what’s poisonous within the space, there’s no good circulate. And with out good circulate, you may’t develop something you have to have that good and pure stability. And that’s what occurs with castor oil within the eye space positioned on the eyelashes. So I simply place it instantly on the eyelashes with a mascara brush we even have arising very quickly, a phenomenal mascara brush in glass, all the time in glass and it simply makes it loads simpler and performed on the eyebrows as effectively, too. So simply to maintain it actually easy and clear and straightforward.
Within the hair, you may positively put within the hair. It’s completely 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 to be able to nourish the dry ends. After which I like to wrap it in like a turbine. We’ve got a specifically designed one which goes particularly with castor oil so the castor oil doesn’t get wherever and in order that it really heats up the castor oil in your scalp. As a result of in case you bear in mind again within the day, these scorching oil hair remedies, do you bear in mind these, these Vo5 scorching oil hair remedies?
Katie: Oh, yeah, these had 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 in 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 not less than as soon as per week, it was very, very efficient for my hair progress.
On the eyebrows and eyelashes, that is actually a nighttime routine. So earlier than you go to mattress, placed on the mascara, put it on the eyebrows, and if you wish to observe it up, for greatest impact is to really simply place a watch masks over high of it as effectively, as a result of then once more, you get that very same impact of the warmth. And every time you might have that pure warmth with the castor oil, it penetrates deeper and it presumably prompts the castor oil. I nonetheless haven’t been capable of finding what the warmth does, however I’m certain ultimately I’ll discover it. I imply, in all probability one other 20 years it’ll take me to seek out out all of the little element. Nevertheless it has an impact that improves. It higher than simply solely placing on the castor oil. In order that’s why we now have compresses for completely the whole lot.
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 look within the eye. So in the event that they get a stye, apply castor oil instantly on it. This stye won’t even evolve fully 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 type of glandular dysfunction. And there may be doubtlessly an impact as effectively, too, that it may assist with recycling of the glutathione within the eye, which is essential as a result of the tissue of the attention, the eyeball, is very saturated in glutathione, and as we age, our glutathione ranges lower, and that’s why our eyesight reduces. So it’s tremendous helpful for the eyes. I like this recreation.
Katie: Nicely, that’s fascinating. And the hair one particular was my subsequent one to ask about. And it sounds such as you wouldn’t wish to use it, such as you stated on all your hair, however it does look like lots of people have had good outcomes utilizing it for growing hair progress and lowering hair fall. And so the tip there can be to apply it to the scalp solely or the ends. What about including I’ve seen the information so as to add like a teeny little bit of rosemary or peppermint oil to it to type of stimulate blood circulate to the scalp. Is that useful as effectively?
Marisol: I adore it. There’s seven well-known important oils. I don’t know if I bear in mind them off the highest of my head, however I do know ylang-ylang, peppermint, rosemary, lavender, and I consider there’s a lemon one and a pair extra which can be wonderful. We’ve got if anybody desires it, we will join them. A bit 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 in addition in the event that they discover that they’re having the everyday 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 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 adore it when individuals recommend 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 solely. And now I really feel like I even have to chop them as a result of they develop a lot. So I’ll second that, that it really actually does work. And it will look like this makes it helpful for guys who’ve hair loss as effectively, as a result of that very same enzyme is related to male sample baldness, I believe.
Marisol: You bought it. You bought it. So an awesome recipe for males is simply easy castor oil with rosemary important oil due to that rosmarinic acid. And I’ve even had male sufferers use it as gel, like they’ve quick hair anyhow as a result of they’re going bald. In order that they shave all of it down they usually actually each day, simply to work, they’ll put on their castor oil with a little bit of rosemary oil, and it leaves a pleasant shine and it’s a pure choice or that or go to mattress with it. However once more, everytime you go to mattress with it, you in all probability wish to both wrap it or as a result of it should messy castor oil. The factor with Castor Oil is, it’s messy. And that’s why we love Queen of the Thrones pack, as a result of it simply retains that mess managed. By no means excellent, however managed.
Katie: What about I’ve performed this earlier than and I’ve seen this now floating round social media utilizing castor oil by itself or together with different oils as a facial cleanser at night time with like an oil cleaning technique.
Marisol: Yeah. This I really like. So I simply do it merely with castor oil, simply because I discover castor oil actually like, for me, it’s simply an inexpensive oil. And also you want so little once you simply use castor oil and also you mix with water and steam. So I’ll take a pleasant, stunning fabric, natural, ideally an natural cotton fabric. 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 which may be there from the day, as a result of actually, water is the common solvent. So that you begin with that and then you definitely use castor oil. You are taking somewhat dime dimension of castor oil, a dime to 1 / 4, and also you blot it inside your palms and also you actually blot this in your face like that. That’s all you do. It’s so, so easy. So that you blot the oil and the oil, oil attracts oil. So something that’s oily that should come out that’s in extra or balancing, when you have like, dry areas of your pores and skin, then you definitely take that very same fabric that you just steamed, you set it on the water, you steam it once more, and then you definitely 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 positively a easy one. And it looks like it even works for youngsters who’re pimples susceptible due to that oil attracts oil precept.
Marisol: Precisely. It’s wonderful. I’ve switched so many sufferers from completely different over-the-counter, like, pharmaceutical model face washes and simply received them on this. And it’s simply so easy. It’s inexpensive. The oil lasts a very long time. They get into the observe. And one of the best half, after stepping into the observe of it, your pores and skin feels so smooth at occasions, you don’t even want a moisturizer anymore. Such as you wouldn’t want a nighttime moisturizer, even a daytime moisturizer, as a result of your face actually looks like a child’s backside with that oil washing method. It’s nice.
Katie: That is sensible. And it’s additionally used typically as a pure treatment. And also you touched on this somewhat bit. I reside in a spot with heaps and many bugs, so I’ve realized that this actually is useful on bug bites. And I believe additionally it’s useful when youngsters need one thing as a treatment for a bug chew or for a boo-boo of some kind. And also you don’t wish to put one thing like that’s poisonous on them. And sometimes simply the psychological placing one thing on it. I really feel like is 80% of the battle with youngsters. And so that’s actually useful and we all know it’s protected, however it’s there any precise backing verify or to disclaim for issues like bug bites or rashes or burns?
Marisol: Affirm. And also you do them. You make it in several methods so it really works nice. You should use it by itself in case you’re in a decent spot and also you haven’t been capable of make somewhat components that I’m going to show you guys tips on how to 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 on the subject of any type 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 at least one with castor oil. It ought to come out like a thick paste, like somewhat little bit of a thicker paste. And you’ll 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 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 components can work higher as a result of quite a lot of occasions if the tissue is simply too acidic and it’s extremely injured and extremely infected, the physique can’t heal it and issues don’t reply they usually don’t work. However in case you can alkalinize the tissues after which use the castor oil with it, it really works implausible. It’s my go-to. I all the time have it with me. I by no means go away house with out my little combination of baking soda. One to at least one with castor oil. Tremendous easy.
Katie: Yeah, that is likely to be the best DIY recipe ever.
Marisol: It’s. And so purposeful. I name it just like the Save the Day salve. It actually saves the day everytime you want it.
Katie: That’s an awesome tip. I’m placing that within the present notes for you guys listening. You additionally talked about castor oil packs a few occasions. And I do know we talked about this in our different interview. I’ll be sure that I hyperlink to that one as effectively. However stroll us by what a castor oil pack is and a number of the use-cases of who may wish to do that.
Marisol: Superior. So castor oil packs are nice for the complete household, besides in case you’re actively pregnant and also you’re not able to pop it out. So in case you’re pregnant, you may’t use castor oil packs, however after being pregnant you completely can. In order that’s an awesome factor, particularly postpartum.
So castor oil packs, in case you look to the. Aspect of me, or for many who are listening, who can’t see. The castor oil pack is mainly an natural cotton fabric that’s formed in a sure manner to be able to be worn over the liver or over the pelvic area. It may be worn over the thyroid, over the eyes. It’s used all around the physique, over the decrease again, on the hips, for sciatic, simply mainly the knees, joints, you identify it. Anyplace on the physique, you need to use the castor oil pack.
Essentially the most well-known is the castor oil liver pack. And the castor oil liver pack, I imply, once more, goes again, manner again to the previous, the primary medical docs, Hippocrates and all them utilizing the pack to assist with terrain. So the idea of terrain is that how do you assist the entire physique to do its 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, the whole lot, they merely simply don’t work very effectively, you don’t take in them very effectively, you don’t digest them very effectively, and your physique has no capability to have the ability to make the most of them the best way that they’re alleged to be utilized.
So, castor oil pack could be very grassroots drugs and it’s terrain drugs, which suggests it helps the whole lot that you just’re doing work higher after which some. So that you placed on a pack by merely putting 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 suggests serving to your bowels to maneuver higher, it’ll assist with lymphatic drainage. So getting the entire congestion that is likely to be 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 stability your hormones, stability your sleep cycle, stability all of the elements of our physique which can be actually, actually 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 recreation changer. I imply, we now have lots of of testimonials the place persons are like, I’ve been doing all of the dietary supplements, all of the routines, all of this and all of that. And what modified the sport for me was beginning a castor oil pack.
And the most typical phrases that 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 actually in all probability one of the foundational practices like exercising, attempting to eat higher, getting a great night time’s relaxation. And it helps with all of these issues too, taking your dietary supplements. So it’s so, so foundational. And I take advantage of it throughout the board with each single affected person, particularly after I was in medical observe in pediatrics or with kids. I might use it in the event that they had been pressured, in the event that they weren’t sleeping effectively, if any kids that had been on the spectrum as a result of it helped to calm them down, I might use it. If they’d any tummy aches within the summertime or indigestion, that was one of the frequent factor that youngsters would come to my medical observe with was that they might be consuming meals and it will trigger them abdomen upset. So getting right into a observe early on of doing these castor oil packs can be nice for teenagers.
And now my kids are grown. I imply, I’ve been in castor oil drugs for over 20 years. My youngsters are 20 and 22 now. And so my youngsters very a lot grew up with castor oil and castor oil packs. So now every time my youngsters I bear in mind my daughter, her first 12 months of College, I used to be speaking to you the way she’s tremendous impartial and she or he wished to go away from house instantly. And my daughter is so humorous. The primary week she’s in her indoctrination of school they usually exit ingesting one night time and she or he overdoes it. And usually she has a fairly good weight loss plan as a result of she grew up with me, however she overdid it. And she or he 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 every time she wouldn’t really feel effectively, 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 effectively, let’s go earlier than that.
Fertility issues, castor oil packs can be utilized for fertility issues. I’ve had sufferers enhance their fertility over a interval of couple of months along with fertility remedies with their standard physician. In the event that they’re doing IVF or no matter they’re doing, it helps the whole lot to work higher in that realm, too, which is nice as a result of IVF may be so, so costly. After which postpartum utilizing castor oil packs not on the liver, however really on the pelvic area to assist to reset all of the organs. If a mama has had like a Caesarean scar, it could 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 will get a mama to place the pack on fairly instantly after the scar is healed on the pelvic area, she’s going to rock it and 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 publish child. So actually nice alongside the spectrum of life after which girls in menopause or transitioning, proper? Sizzling flashes, night time sweats, people who do castor oil packs have much less severity of menopausal signs, which is good as a result of Castor Oil Packs helps them to cleanse higher. And once you transfer into that stage of life, you cease having one of many ways in which you cleanse and detox, which is thru a menstrual interval.
Katie: That is sensible. And it’s a great reminder to get again to them often. And I’m glad you talked about they can be utilized in a single day as a result of that makes it much less work. You simply put it on and neglect about it.

Katie: Can important oils be mixed with it at night time or is it advisable to make use of by itself?
Marisol: I really like that. Affirm! I adore it when individuals put important oils. And that actually goes to be depending on what your circumstances are, what you’re coping with. If you would like extra liver help or when you have quite a lot of irritation in your physique, perhaps you’ll go for like frankincense, somewhat little bit of buzzword that goes a great distance. Or in case 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. For those who’re somewhat important oil maven, get these important oils blended along with your pack and put on it in a single day.
Katie: Nice to know. And in addition, I might guess due to its capability, you talked about nitric oxide and blood circulate, that it might be used on websites of like, soreness or harm after exercise as effectively. I’m asking considerably self-centeredly as a result of my daughter has shin splints from doing quite a lot of exercises, and I’m questioning if at night time this might assist her shin splints simply by the character of bringing extra consciousness and blood circulate to her legs.
Marisol: You bought it. Completely. Like, I might be rubbing in and massaging it. We’ve got really a therapeutic massage curler that we use with castor oil. This therapeutic massage curler works actually successfully to simply assist the fibers break by. An awesome little hack together with her shin splints is I might be taking a look at her beneath her sole and doing massages of the underside of her foot after which again into her calf muscle as a result of there’s some set off factors in there that you may 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 adore it. And so, talking of therapeutic massage, and we’ve talked about Lymphatic drainage fairly a bit. I’ve additionally seen this mixed with individuals 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 might be performed in a complete physique Lymphatic therapeutic massage sort scenario. However do you advocate this?
Marisol: Sure. So I adore it. So for certain, cosmetically with gulsha, completely. Even with cups, anybody utilizing the beauty cups, they’ll use that as effectively too. Like the standard do the cupping remedy for facial and beauty. The way in which that I really like to make use of it for basic Lymphatic is definitely one thing often called wet-dry brushing. So it’s utilizing a dry brush. So we promote a equipment as effectively too, as a result of we now have 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 everyday Lymphatic opening motion. So that you begin by opening up the Lymphatic zones. So once more, that’s like proper right here on the collarbone, on high of the collarbone, in behind of the ears, you’re wanting on the fringe of the mandible. So proper on the backside of the chin, beneath the armpits into the pectoral area. Then you definately go beneath the abdomen and also you pump and also you actually simply faucet the world. You may put somewhat little bit of castor oil in your fingers once you’re rubbing and massaging these areas. Then once more, abdomen into the pelvic area known as the Inguinal canal by your pubic space. After which in behind within the knees.
So that you begin by simply gently pumping with somewhat little bit of castor oil in your fingers. And then you definitely do what’s known as a moist brush. Moist brushing is simply brushing along with your fingers. And once more, you are taking like 1 / 4 dimension quantity of castor oil. Much less is extra with castor oil. There’s no have to go like loopy and saturate. Much less is all the time extra. So quarter dimension, once more, you do the identical type of factor that you just did along with your facial washing is you rub it between your fingers and then you definitely begin from the within, going outward. So along with your arm, you’ll 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 definitely observe it up with the dry brushing half. So you are 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 do away with so many alternative issues in your cupboard that you just don’t really want anymore. Proper? As a result of castor oil can exchange it, which is good, or you need to use it together. Say you might have a favourite physique cream that has like superb important oils. You possibly can simply put it together with that and then you definitely get one of the best of each worlds.
Katie: And are there any danger or issues to concentrate on with castor oil contraindications or occasions that shouldn’t be used apart from we talked about being pregnant. However like as an example, does it make you extra delicate to the solar? Do individuals with sure circumstances have to keep away from it? Any particular considerations?
Marisol: I really like that. So like all oils, in case you’re going to be baking out within the solar, in fact you already know it’s going to replicate and it may 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 can be radiation remedy. So for many 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 type 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 usually use castor oil over open wounds. Additionally, say if a mama has had a caesarean part, we simply wait till that heals properly after which is the time. And we do completely wish to use castor oil for scars as a result of it helps to stop keloids. The extra infected {that a} mom is or a lady is, the extra chance with any type of scar she will be able to create a keloid. And keloids turn out to be very unattractive they usually’re simply actually uncomfortable too, they usually block energetics as effectively too of your physique. So the minute that we now have any type of surgical procedure, even when it’s a microscopic, a small surgical procedure, something making use of castor oil publish surgical procedure, it might be additionally like a breast discount or eradicating your breast implants, or getting breast implants for that matter, no matter could also be your fancy. I’m not right here to evaluate what you select in your life. However any type of surgical procedure, making use of castor oil can simply assist with lymphatic circulate and therapeutic of any scars afterwards. In order that’s an awesome little hack as effectively too.
Katie: Is smart. And to not use it till it’s really the pores and skin is closed as a result of I might guess it additionally as a result of it’s so highly effective, may 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 believe perhaps 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 in all probability very telling of what castor oil does. Like, it’s simply fantastically highly effective.
Katie: And I’m additionally an enormous fan of behavior stacking so one factor I’ve performed up to now, however you may inform me this isn’t a good suggestion, is to mix castor oil with purple gentle, with meditation. Like something I can do suddenly and maximize the time, good or dangerous, to make use of castor oil with purple gentle.
Marisol: I like utilizing castor oil with purple gentle. I don’t assume it’s a foul factor. I believe you wish to watch out with utilizing packs within the sauna, I might use, say in case you did a sauna, use it, put the pack on afterwards and with purple gentle I might put the castor oil on purple gentle after which afterwards put the pack just because there may be an outdoor plastic layer on it’s the healthiest model of plastic that we will discover. However nonetheless, to be able to make the packs much less messy, we’ve received to place one thing on the surface. 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 undecided if the plastic may undergo in case you’re heating it up and such. So ideally you do the purple gentle remedy with castor oil after which after the remedy, plop on the pack and go to mattress and make it easy.
And meditation. I couldn’t meditate for the lifetime of me as a result of stress once more again within the day was what was difficult my well being time and time once more. And it wasn’t till I did my first castor oil pack that I lastly knew what rest was. After which I used to be lastly capable of get right into a meditation and never go loopy and have a panic assault after I was attempting to do a meditation. So it was the most effective 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 necessary high quality considerations on the subject of castor oil. And similar to all of those advantages may be so useful in case you aren’t utilizing a great supply, it looks like there’s really some potential danger hooked up. 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 protected one?
Marisol: Good. 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 best high quality and greatest supply of oil and pack. And the reason is is that we do it along with your well being in thoughts as a result of the oil primary, you’ll find it on Amazon or on all these completely different locations pottled in plastic. However the issue with castor oil and plastic is that castor oil, bear in mind, is that magical, the perfect provider oil that exists. So it carries the whole lot into the physique. And in case you’re packaging castor oil in plastic in any portion of the availability chain, ours oil by no means touches plastic. That’s my assure. I imply, we go to the availability chain, we’re even going to be beginning to really develop castor oil to be able to management it even additional. As a result of I take advantage of castor oil a lot in my life, for me, for my mates, for my household, and for all your mates and your loved ones. We’re good mates. 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 cut-off dates, even in case 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 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 usually is mixed with phthalates, that are well-known hormone disruptors. And on the subject of the castor oil pack, the instrument, the pack itself, we’ve received to watch out as a result of there’s so many in the marketplace that use natural bamboo, which appears like it will be actually good for you, however natural bamboo is definitely fairly poisonous in case 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 to be able to break down metal, think about what sort of chemical compounds you bought to make use of to be able to break down metal. And since bamboo is eco-friendly, they use much less water to clean it. So you may think about that bamboo now could be going to be having chemical compounds with it. After which more often than not, bamboo isn’t simply bamboo fibers. The cellulose from bamboo, it’s really bamboo fibers blended with rayon, which is plastic and rayon. With the intention to make it softer, they use phthalate sprayed on it. So it could 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 any doubt about it.
And also you’re on the lookout for flannel. You don’t need a velour as a result of natural cotton velour is mixed with, once more, plastic fibers. There’s so many issues on the subject of materials, so it completely have to be natural cotton, flannel, like, little question about it. And natural castor oil in glass, all the time. And processing of castor oil must be expeller, pressed, and hexane free and pure. You don’t need something blended in 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 typically does it have to be washed and are there any particular issues for that? Can it’s used a number of occasions earlier than washing or is that this in each single use you have to wash it?
Marisol: I really like that. So you need to use it a number of occasions with out washing it. And ideally, you exchange the castor oil pack after about two months of standard utilization. So in case you’re utilizing it each day so 60 remedies, you wish to get a brand new pack. It nonetheless could be very inexpensive in comparison with most of the dietary supplements in the marketplace, however as a result of I don’t assume persons are very used to eliminating a chunk of fabric or materials, however you do have to as a result of we’re undecided. 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 guarantee that we don’t do this.
The opposite factor too is that I can get away in case 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 in a position to do this. So if you must, you may wash it and then you definitely 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 perform a little hack the place I put mine into my dishwasher and I do this with like clear dish cleaning soap after which that’s a fast, simple technique to clear it out as effectively too. It’s by no means excellent although, after you wash it and ultimately you’re going to wish to exchange it. In order that’s in all probability one of the best factor to know.
After which the one different facet notice on that’s if you’re doing like a hormone protocol. Hormone protocols can 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 quite a lot of various things and also you wish to type of maintain it for every space and it’s additionally scientifically designed to suit the world and to take care of the dermatomes and the visceral reflexes which 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 might have sources, clarify in depth all of those various things past what we will cowl in a 1 hour podcast episode. So I’ll hyperlink to a few of my favourite content material you might have associated to that, in addition to to all these specifics of the place to seek out the whole lot. However within the curiosity of time, I all the time like to ask just a few 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 ceaselessly. However I’m going to begin with in all probability a very powerful after I was a affected person, sorry, not a affected person, after I was in my first 12 months of medical observe, 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 she or he stated to me, I owe it to castor oil, which was I already beloved her proper off the bat, however she had advised me that the whole lot that you have to find out about well being and therapeutic is within the Bible. And on the time I wasn’t very non secular and wasn’t actually studying the Bible, however she inspired me to learn the Bible and actually I discovered it to be a really huge inspiration for therapeutic and protocols and all various things like Genesis is a good seven day cleanse. There’s so many alternative superb issues that you may reap out of the Bible, together with wonderful issues to reside by, like reap what you sow, all these completely different fantastic metaphors that you just get within the Bible.
After that I might say Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching. It’s simply once more, historical, previous rules from conventional Chinese language again within the day of the Chinese language empires and simply understanding the philosophies like be like water to circulate, that impacted me enormously. And one other guide can be The Sport of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. Once more, it’s early nineteenth century. She was an exquisite lady. In all probability one of many first lady metaphysicians, which signifies that she would work 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 she or he was in all probability one of many first girls to actually deliver it to life outdoors of religious circles. So I actually love her guide, The Sport of Life. It’s a superb learn and I’ve learn it in each language, as with the Bible, Spanish, Italian, French, German and now I’m engaged on studying some Portuguese.
Katie: I neglect this from our final episode. You’re very multi-lingual as effectively. That’s unimaginable and spectacular. I’ll hyperlink to these as effectively within the present notes for you guys listening. Every little thing is at wellnessmama.fm. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners that might be associated to castor oil or might be unrelated life recommendation that’s been useful to you.
Marisol: Superior. I believe in all probability a very powerful factor to say is simply to remind individuals that you just’ve received 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 set 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 believe that’s in all probability a very powerful factor in regards to the castor oil packs.
After which secondly, as with the whole lot, it’s simply observe and about being light with your self whilst you’re working towards. 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 spotted that the extra that I used to be similar to, love and acceptance and pleasure and coming from my coronary heart and talking my fact, the extra that I journeyed in these stunning, variety 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 received 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 observe is simply to take action. And achieve this with the intent to observe and the intent to be light with oneself.
