And on this episode, we go deep into the advantages of castor oil and use this for therefore many various issues. We discuss what makes it distinctive from a well being perspective. Why it may be the primary factor in a house pharmacy or magnificence cupboard. Why it’s thought of the grasp provider oil.

It’s all the time such a enjoyable time studying from Marisol. So with out additional ado, let’s discuss castor oil. Marisol, welcome again.
Marisol: Thank you 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 a variety of traction. I see it on social media on a regular basis and I really feel like there’s some vital caveats we’re going to get to delve into if you’re utilizing Castor Oil. But earlier than we get to that matter, I even have a be aware out of your bio that you’ve a gentle well being retreat habit and I need to hear about this and in addition what’s probably the most impactful one you’ve ever been to?
Marisol: Awesome. 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 have been what shifted stress for me. And I noticed that in our busy day-to-day life, it’s fairly intense and it’s exhausting to typically do what it’s good to do as a way 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 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 respectable retreat. But you go. And then what finally ends up occurring is you study all these new abilities and also you apply them day-in and day-out. But then if you come again into your regular day-to-day loopy children operating round, driving, all that shebang that we’ve got to do as mother, after which we get again into the swing of issues. But 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 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 apply 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 at the least, having good relationships with girls has all the time been slightly little bit of a wrestle. Like, I’ve just a few very shut pals, however I’ve been extra reserved in teams of girls and so it was such an incredible group and the curator did an incredible job with that. But 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’d have by no means thought to do. But to your level, I really feel prefer it was an excellent reset. And so now I’m a giant fan of even should you’re not going to go to a well being retreat, like curate that have with native pals or like a gaggle of girls pals, as a result of I believe that point is so useful.
Marisol: It’s simply getting again to your self. Right. And for me, the very best one that you just requested me was one in Puerto Vallarta. It was really a girlfriend of mine and I’ve had the same life the place it’s been difficult to attach with girls. But I’m engaged on that. That’s sort of certainly one of my objectives is to get higher girls pals. So 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 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 throughout the trade or magical as a result of we simply have such energy as girls. I discover we actually are the earth maidens of the world and we will deliver a lot to the world once we tune in. When we tune in.
Katie: I agree. And I stated that so many instances in numerous methods on this podcast of I imagine mothers particularly, are such a power of nature and we’ve got a lot impression in the best way we’re interacting with the following technology. Also with the best way that we’ve got a lot buying energy inside society and that actually nurturing that connection will be such an impactful software for ladies, particularly.
Marisol: One million %. Yeah, I’m proper on board there with you, Katie. For certain, 100%.
Katie: I adore it. Well, I additionally am actually excited to study extra from you in regards to 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 start out broad, I’d guess most individuals by now have at the least heard of it as a result of it’s getting so in style. But are you able to stroll us by means of what it’s and what makes it so distinctive from a well being perspective?
Marisol: Awesome. Well, castor oil for me. I suppose the easiest way that I can clarify this I used to be actually fascinated with this, and I’ve all the time considered that is there was a film again, I believe, within the 90s or the early 2000s, which was My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And the daddy would go and take windex and spray windex on each well being boo boo. Or, like, no matter the issue was, spray windex on it. So castor oil, once I first received launched to it, it was about 20 years in the past once I was working within the pure well being trade. I used to be going to well being meals retailer, to well being meals retailer, physician’s workplace, to physician’s workplace. And I used to be working with a pure pharmaceutical firm then, and I 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 things do? I see it in all places, however I see it dusty, I see it typically, I see it slightly bit larger, nevertheless it was all the time there it doesn’t matter what.
And then individuals began telling me about issues like castor oil packs and even simply utilizing castor oil. And then I received the phrase which actually caught to me was that somebody in a well being meals retailer informed me that it was the primary factor that you just need to have in your at-home pure pharmacy cupboard. For any sort of sprains, strains, boo-boos or accidents or sunburns, mosquito bites through the summertime. Really like scrapes on the knees, something like that. Dry pores and skin. And then cosmetically as properly too. So it was each good for pharmaceutical, on your pharmacy, like your pure natural pharmacy, and your magnificence cupboard at house. And that to me was like, wow, that’s actually cool. Because most issues are like, they do one factor, however castor oil does so many various issues that it really once I was informed about what it really did do, I really felt it was slightly bit unbelievable. I’m like, wow, something that does like jack of all trades, grasp of none.
But the truth is with castor oil is it simply actually is that sort of an oil. It has so many therapeutic useful 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 might be taking like one teaspoon to 2 teaspoons, as much as like 4 tablespoons to go to the toilet higher, after which additionally midwives and doulas would use it. I’m certain lots 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 means of muscle, transfer the bowels, transfer the uterus, and put together for beginning. But again within the day, again in Hippocrates, within the outdated, outdated medical texts and again in historic Egypt, Cleopatra was utilizing it for all her beauty wants. So she was recognized for her lovely eyes and the whites of her eyes and her beautiful hair and eyebrows. And that was all attributed to castor oil. So that was the very first use of castor oil cosmetically. And then Hippocrates on the Greek islands, he was recommending castor oil for general normal wellness, like a terrain medication, we’d say, to assist every little thing that you just do in your pure, wholesome life-style, work higher.
And then quick ahead. We’ve received even the normal Chinese medical docs again within the dynasties utilizing castor oil for joint pains and irritation as a castor oil pack. And then 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 folks actually don’t even acknowledge that previous. When they hear castor oil pack, they consider Edgar Cayce, who’s like the trendy prophet or one of many first Herbal Natural 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 slightly bit into witchery or doing slightly little bit of issues off of the books. But however, he actually promoted using castor oil plaques commonly. 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 great well being selling castor oil packs, which are likely to take it far more than similar to a laxative or a provider oil, these well being selling packs are terrain medication, so historic medication at its finest.
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 take a look at the testimonies on our web site and folks simply say, wow, it is a sport changer. This is magical. And it’s due to all of its properties. So, primary, I believe that is crucial to focus on is it’s the grasp provider oil. So as a provider oil, in comparison with anything, should you’re utilizing, say, important oils, I’m certain numerous Wellness Mama’s love is utilizing their important oils. They’re most frequently informed to make use of issues like candy almond, jojoba oil as a provider oil. But 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 preserve it on the highest layer of the pores and skin. But throughout the dermis, you’re entering into the circulation, you’re entering into the Lymphatic system, and also you’re entering into the place the place you really will be altering how the physique is functioning since you’ve 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 bettering collagen, bettering the tissue beneath, like plumping it up, so cosmetically you should use it to plump up your tissues, your pores and skin, your lips, your eyes. When you begin to discover, like, darkish circles beneath your eyes, you should use Castor Oil there to plump it up.
Other actions of the oil, it’s a pure anti-inflammatory, which is nice, however I imply, numerous issues are anti-inflammatory, proper? So 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, great polyphenol from the Vitamin C household. And this actually helps, I adore it as a result of it helps with therapeutic of the intestine. And once more, something that has to do with Vitamin C helps with collagen formation. So 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’s extra oxygenation, there’s more healthy cells, there’s much less ageing. So it helps that course of and that’s not solely beauty, but in addition self-care smart, proper? Because if we’ve got higher oxygenation to our digestive tract, higher oxygenation to our fingers, our toes, our nerves, our coronary heart, our lungs, properly, every little thing inside our mind, every little thing inside our physique will simply merely work higher. So nitric oxide selling.
On prime of it, it recycles glutathione. Glutathione is an excellent costly complement that many take as a way to anti-age to enhance their liver cleansing, cleaning drainage. But it’s costly, it’s not very extremely bioavailable, which implies it’s exhausting to soak up. But in castor oil packs and castor oil, it helps to recycle your naturally produced glutathione, which is among the finest methods, what higher method to get higher cleansing than by recycling what you naturally are already producing? So that’s superb.
The oil, if you put it in your pores and skin topically, you really additionally promote dopamine, which is a really feel good neurotransmitter. So I imply, the record retains on happening. I’m not accomplished. This 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 quite a bit! On prime of it, it’s a well-known, and that is all researched, a widely 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 that could be inside our gut or our mucosal membranes that they mainly create as a protecting mechanism in order that they don’t get taken out of the gut and changed by good and wholesome micro organism that make us really feel higher. So Castor Oil is among the only a few pure biofilm breakdown issues that break down biofilm, which is superior. So that’s main about it. I believe that sort of covers it.
So pure anti-inflammatory wealthy. In antioxidants, we received 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 shifting. It additionally strikes your circulation and your Lymphatic system and it’s the grasp provider so these are actually, in a nutshell, all the essential 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’d love like a affirm or deny, reality versus fantasy sort of breakdown of all these various things and in addition to speak about if there’s any threat or advantages that aren’t talked about extensively on social media. So the primary being, I’ve seen individuals advocate placing this, as an illustration, on our eyelids or eyelashes at night time, each for eyelash progress. But I even noticed an optometrist explaining that this may also help promote the pure tears of the eyes and the wetness if you blink and all these items which are imagined to occur. So affirm pressing eye, is that this good or dangerous? And ideas for really doing that.
Marisol: Awesome. Confirmed. It is nice. Again, it has to do with the physiology going beneath of bettering our hair progress so you possibly can even lengthen it to eyebrows and the hair on the top, castor oil will enhance circulation to the world, that’s the nitric oxide impact. And then 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 possibly can feed the hair follicle and that’s how the expansion will occur. But past that, it additionally helps with drainage. Lymphatic drainage, you possibly can deliver all of the vitamins you need to an space, however should you’re not draining what’s poisonous within the space, there’s no good circulation. And with out good circulation, you possibly can’t develop something it’s good to have that good and pure stability. And that’s what occurs with castor oil within the eye space positioned on the eyelashes. So I simply place it straight on the eyelashes with a mascara brush we even have arising very quickly, a lovely mascara brush in glass, all the time in glass and it simply makes it quite a bit simpler and accomplished on the eyebrows as properly, too. So simply to maintain it actually easy and clear and straightforward.
In the hair, you possibly can undoubtedly put within the hair. It’s completely different since you don’t need to soak castor oil all in your hair since you might knot your hair up as a result of it’s such a thick oil. With the hair, all you do is you mainly cut up up the areas and also you apply castor oil on the roots and then you definitely do the identical on the ends as a way to nourish the dry ends. And then I like to wrap it in like a turbine. 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. Because should you bear in mind again within the day, these scorching oil hair therapies, do you bear in mind these, these Vo5 scorching oil hair therapies?
Katie: Oh, yeah, these have been massive once I was in highschool.
Marisol: Right? Me too. Me too. So castor oil will do the very same factor. Like, actually, it’s like a Vo5, however pure, not chemical. And it’s superior on your hair. And 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. And then 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. But earlier than, I might by no means develop my hair lengthy with out it splitting and cracking. And with doing that common routine at the least 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 comply with it up, for finest impact is to really simply place a watch masks over prime of it as properly, as a result of then once more, you get that very same impact of the warmth. And every time you may have that pure warmth with the castor oil, it penetrates deeper and it probably prompts the castor oil. I nonetheless haven’t been capable of finding what the warmth does, however I’m certain finally I’ll discover it. I imply, in all probability one other 20 years it’ll take me to search out out all of the little element. But it has an impact that improves. It higher than simply solely placing on the castor oil. So that’s why we’ve got compresses for completely every little thing.
Now, you stated in regards to the optometrist, the meibomian gland, they name that meibomian gland dysfunction, the place meibomian glands or any glands on the eyes get blocked. I imply, clinically for me, I’ve used castor oils with sufferers, the minute a stye begins to 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. And then once more, you possibly can put it into the corners of the eyes and across the eyes, all the time with the eyes closed for any sort of glandular dysfunction. And there’s doubtlessly an impact as properly, too, that it might assist with recycling of the glutathione within the eye, which is vital 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 useful for the eyes. I like this sport.
Katie: Well, that’s fascinating. And the hair one particular was my subsequent one to ask about. And it sounds such as you wouldn’t need to use it, such as you stated on your whole hair, nevertheless it does look like lots of people have had good outcomes utilizing it for rising hair progress and decreasing 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 ideas so as to add like a teeny little bit of rosemary or peppermint oil to it to sort of stimulate blood circulation to the scalp. Is that useful as properly?
Marisol: I adore it. There’s seven well-known important oils. I don’t know if I bear in mind them off the highest of my head, however I do know ylang-ylang, peppermint, rosemary, lavender, and I imagine there’s a lemon one and a pair extra which are glorious. We have if anybody needs it, we will join them. A little 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 ladies who’ve Hashimoto’s, as a result of rosmarinic acid helps to unblock an enzyme that’s attacking the hair follicles. And so this goes not just for the scalp of the hair, for these with thyroid issues, and so they discover that they’re shedding their hair on their head, but in addition in the event that they discover that they’re having the everyday thyroid signal, which is a lateral eyebrow is beginning to turn out to be skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny. Same deal. Using a mixture of castor oil with rosmarinic acid on the eyebrows can actually, actually assist. Just watch out to not apply important oils close to the attention as a result of they may burn. So all the time simply be cautious on that one. But throughout the hair, the scalp, the eyebrows, it’s superior to mix the medicines. I imply, I adore it when individuals counsel that, as a result of that’s what our drugs is about. It’s about combining for synergy that makes it even work higher than it does by itself.
Katie: And I’ve that have with my eyebrows. I don’t have thyroid points anymore, however from overplucking and thyroid points, I felt like they have been going away fully. And now I really feel like I even have to chop them as a result of they develop a lot. So I’ll second that, that it really actually does work. And it might look like this makes it useful for guys who’ve hair loss as properly, as a result of that very same enzyme is linked to male sample baldness, I believe.
Marisol: You received it. You received 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 brief hair in any case as a result of they’re going bald. So they shave all of it down and so they actually daily, 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. But once more, everytime you go to mattress with it, you in all probability need to both wrap it or as a result of it’ll 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. Never good, however managed.
Katie: What about I’ve accomplished this earlier than and I’ve seen this now floating round social media utilizing castor oil by itself or together with different oils as a facial cleanser at night time with like an oil cleaning methodology.
Marisol: Yeah. This I like. So I simply do it merely with castor oil, simply because I discover castor oil actually like, for me, it’s simply an reasonably priced oil. And you want so little if you simply use castor oil and also you mix with water and steam. So I’ll take a pleasant, lovely 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 method I take slightly little bit of the filth that could be there from the day, as a result of actually, water is the common solvent. So you begin with that and then you definitely use castor oil. You take slightly dime dimension of castor oil, a dime to 1 / 4, and also you blot it inside your palms and also you actually blot this in your face like that. That’s all you do. It is so, so easy. So 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, if in case you have like, dry areas of your pores and skin, then you definitely take that very same fabric that you just steamed, you place it on the water, you steam it once more, and then you definitely wipe off along with your face. And that’s it. It is so, so quick for a magnificence routine and cleanser.
Katie: Yeah, that’s undoubtedly a easy one. And it looks like it even works for youngsters who’re pimples susceptible due to that oil attracts oil precept.
Marisol: Exactly. It is superb. 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 reasonably priced. The oil lasts a very long time. They get into the apply. And the very best half, after entering into the apply of it, your pores and skin feels so tender at instances, you don’t even want a moisturizer anymore. Like 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 method. It’s nice.
Katie: That is sensible. And it’s additionally used typically as a pure treatment. And you touched on this slightly bit. I stay in a spot with tons and plenty of bugs, so I’ve discovered that this actually is useful on bug bites. And I believe additionally it’s useful when children need one thing as a treatment for a bug chew or for a boo-boo of some kind. And you don’t need to put one thing like that’s poisonous on them. And typically simply the psychological placing one thing on it. I really feel like is 80% of the battle with children. And so that’s actually useful and we all know it’s secure, however it’s there any precise backing affirm or to disclaim for issues like bug bites or rashes or burns?
Marisol: Confirm. And you do them. You make it in numerous methods so it really works nice. You can apply it to its personal should you’re in a decent spot and also you haven’t been in a position to make slightly formulation that I’m going to show you guys make proper now. But with dry pores and skin, you possibly can go simply castor oil on it. Sunburns, simply castor oil as it’s. They work nice in terms of any sort of accidents or like scrapes otherwise you need fast therapeutic or bug bites, what you need to do is you need to make castor oil into your very personal at house pure pomade. So you combine baking soda one to 1 with castor oil. It ought to come out like a thick paste, like slightly little bit of a thicker paste. And you possibly can put it I imply, I put it in all types of little jars after which I carry it round with me. I’ve one in a kind of silicone journey tubes for once I journey and that combination heals quickly. Bug bites, boo-boos, cuts, scrapes. Whether has to do the castor oil, all the advantages of castor oil is an anti-inflammatory, nutrient wealthy, all these nice, that nice stuff that Castor oil does. But additionally the baking soda alkalinizing the world. So then that method all of the therapeutic components can work higher as a result of a variety of instances if the tissue is simply too acidic and it’s extremely injured and extremely infected, the physique can’t heal it and issues don’t reply and so they don’t work. But should you can alkalinize the tissues after which use the castor oil with it, it really works implausible. It is 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 1 with castor oil. Super easy.
Katie: Yeah, that may be the simplest DIY recipe ever.
Marisol: It is. 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 be sure I hyperlink to that one as properly. But stroll us by means of what a castor oil pack is and a few of the use-cases of who may need to do that.
Marisol: Awesome. So castor oil packs are nice for all the household, besides should you’re actively pregnant and also you’re not able to pop it out. So should you’re pregnant, you possibly can’t use castor oil packs, however after being pregnant you completely can. So that’s an excellent factor, particularly postpartum.
So castor oil packs, should you look to the. Side of me, or for individuals who are listening, who can’t see. The castor oil pack is mainly an natural cotton fabric that’s formed in a sure method as a way to be worn over the liver or over the pelvic area. It will be worn over the thyroid, over the eyes. It’s used everywhere in the physique, over the decrease again, on the hips, for sciatic, simply mainly the knees, joints, you title it. Any place on the physique, you should use the castor oil pack.
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 docs, Hippocrates and all them utilizing the pack to assist with terrain. So the idea of terrain is that how do you assist the entire physique to do its perform higher? And largest subject with our well being and our therapeutic is that we’re so harassed, our physique can’t heal. When our physique is harassed, it doesn’t matter what you give it, what dietary supplements you give it, nice meals you give it, medicines, every little thing, they merely simply don’t work very properly, you don’t take up them very properly, you don’t digest them very properly, and your physique has no means to have the ability to make the most of them the best way that they’re imagined to be utilized.
So, castor oil pack could be very grassroots medication and it’s terrain medication, which implies it helps every little thing that you just’re doing work higher after which some. So 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 you place it on the liver and also you ideally try this for at the least 1 hour to in a single day. And it’ll assist with cleaning, which implies serving to your bowels to maneuver higher, it’ll assist with lymphatic drainage. So getting all the congestion that may 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.
And then 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 are actually, actually crucial. People, 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’ve got a whole lot of testimonials the place persons are like, I’ve been doing all of the dietary supplements, all of the routines, all of this and all of that. And what modified the sport for me was beginning a castor oil pack.
And the commonest phrases that 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 some of the foundational practices like exercising, making an attempt 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 exploit it throughout the board with each single affected person, particularly once I was in medical apply in pediatrics or with youngsters. I’d 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’d use it. If they’d any tummy aches within the summertime or indigestion, that was some of the widespread factor that youngsters would come to my medical apply with was that they’d be consuming meals and it might trigger them abdomen upset. So getting right into a apply early on of doing these castor oil packs can be nice for teenagers.
And now my youngsters are grown. I imply, I’ve been in castor oil medication for over 20 years. My children are 20 and 22 now. And so my children very a lot grew up with castor oil and castor oil packs. So now every time my children I bear in mind my daughter, her first yr of University, I used to be speaking to you ways she’s tremendous impartial and she or he wished to go away from house instantly. And my daughter is so humorous. The first week she’s in her indoctrination of school and so they 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 known as me the very first thing within the morning. She’s like, Mom, 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 properly, it’d be the very first thing that she’d placed on.
And I like educating children that early on, as a result of in the event that they know that early on, they’re set for all times as a result of castor oil pack it’s that go-to that 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 at the side of fertility therapies with their standard physician. If they’re doing IVF or no matter they’re doing, it helps every little thing to work higher in that realm, too, which is nice as a result of IVF will be so, so costly. And then postpartum utilizing castor oil packs not on the liver, however really on the pelvic area to assist to reset all of the organs. If a mama has had like a Caesarean scar, it could possibly assist with therapeutic of the Caesarean scar. If organs are all displaced after being pregnant, simply to set issues again quickly. And then, in fact, serving to us to breastfeed higher by doing castor oil pack over the pelvic area is vital as a result of once more, it’s going to assist your ovaries to reset themselves in a pleasant, wholesome method. And that hypothalamic adrenal ovarian entry that will get disbalanced throughout being pregnant and after being pregnant. And that’s one of many main causes of postpartum 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? Hot flashes, night time sweats, those who do castor oil packs have much less severity of menopausal signs, which is good as a result of Castor Oil Packs helps them to cleanse higher. And if you transfer into that stage of life, you cease having one of many ways in which you cleanse and detox, which is thru a menstrual interval.
Katie: That is sensible. And it’s a great reminder to get again to them commonly. And I’m glad you talked about they can be utilized in a single day as a result of that makes it much less work. You simply put it on and overlook about it.

Katie: Can important oils be mixed with it at night time or is it really helpful to make use of by itself?
Marisol: I like that. Confirm! 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 need extra liver assist or if in case you have a variety of irritation in your physique, perhaps you’d go for like frankincense, slightly little bit of buzzword that goes a good distance. Or should 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 will all the time assist me to sleep higher. So completely. If you’re slightly important oil maven, get these important oils blended along with your pack and put on it in a single day.
Katie: Great to know. And additionally, I’d guess due to its means, you talked about nitric oxide and blood circulation, that it may very well be used on websites of like, soreness or damage after exercise as properly. I’m asking considerably self-centeredly as a result of my daughter has shin splints from doing a variety of exercises, and I’m questioning if at night time this might assist her shin splints simply by the character of bringing extra consciousness and blood circulation to her legs.
Marisol: You received it. Absolutely. Like, I’d be rubbing in and massaging it. We have really a therapeutic massage curler that we use with castor oil. This therapeutic massage curler works actually successfully to simply assist the fibers break by means of. An excellent little hack together with her shin splints is I’d be her beneath her sole and doing massages of the underside of her foot after which again into her calf muscle as a result of there’s some set off factors in there that you could with the therapeutic massage curler ball actually successfully get in with castor oil. And then I’d be undoubtedly together with some frankincense oil. With the castor oil all blended in collectively, it makes an superior, superior little protocol.
Katie: I adore it. And so, talking of therapeutic massage, and we’ve talked about Lymphatic drainage fairly a bit. I’ve additionally seen this mixed with individuals utilizing like gulsha on the face for Lymphatic. And I like doing this once I wash my face as a result of my face already has the oil on it and so there’s no friction on the pores and skin. But I’d guess then it may very well be accomplished in a complete physique Lymphatic therapeutic massage sort scenario. But do you advocate this?
Marisol: Yes. So I adore it. So for certain, cosmetically with gulsha, completely. Even with cups, anybody utilizing the beauty cups, they’ll use that as properly too. Like the normal do the cupping remedy for facial and beauty. The method that I like to make use of it for normal Lymphatic is definitely one thing often called wet-dry brushing. So it’s utilizing a dry brush. So we promote a equipment as properly too, as a result of we’ve got all of it, make it straightforward for individuals to get all of the entry to the instruments.
So what you do is you do the everyday Lymphatic opening motion. So you begin by opening up the Lymphatic zones. So once more, that’s like proper right here on the collarbone, on prime of the collarbone, in behind of the ears, you’re wanting on the fringe of the mandible. So proper on the backside of the chin, beneath the armpits into the pectoral area. Then you go beneath the abdomen and also you pump and also you actually simply faucet the world. You might put slightly little bit of castor oil in your arms if you’re rubbing and massaging these areas. Then once more, abdomen into the pelvic area known as the Inguinal canal by your pubic space. And then in behind within the knees.
So you begin by simply gently pumping with slightly little bit of castor oil in your arms. And then you definitely do what’s known as a moist brush. Wet brushing is simply brushing along with your arms. And once more, you’re taking like 1 / 4 dimension quantity of castor oil. Less is extra with castor oil. There’s no have to go like loopy and saturate. Less is all the time extra. So quarter dimension, once more, you do the identical sort of factor that you just did along with your facial washing is you rub it between your arms and then you definitely begin from the within, going outward. So along with your arm, you’d begin like on the shoulder and you sweep with the castor oil upwards in the direction of your coronary heart. And you do that first with castor oil and also you do that throughout your physique.
And then you definitely comply with it up with the dry brushing half. So you’re taking your dry brush and also you do the very same factor. So then you 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 possibly can eliminate so many various issues in your cupboard that you just don’t actually need anymore. Right? Because castor oil can change it, which is good, or you should use it together. Say you may have a favourite physique cream that has like superb important oils. You can simply put it together with that and then you definitely get the very best of each worlds.
Katie: And are there any threat or issues to concentrate on with castor oil contraindications or instances that shouldn’t be used apart from we talked about being pregnant. But like as an illustration, 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 like that. So like all oils, should you’re going to be baking out within the solar, in fact you understand it’s going to mirror and it might trigger to have slightly burn. So it’d be higher to make use of castor oil post-sun care and never pre-sun care. The different warning, there can be radiation remedy. So for individuals who may be utilizing castor oil to lymphatic drain across the breast space, I’d be cautious with utilizing castor oil or any sort of oil for that matter earlier than radiation. So that will be slightly contraindication there.
And once more in being pregnant, any open wounds? We don’t usually use castor oil over open wounds. Also, say if a mama has had a caesarean part, we simply wait till that heals properly after which is the time. And we do completely need to use castor oil for scars as a result of it helps to stop keloids. The extra infected {that a} mom is or a lady is, the extra probability with any sort of scar she will create a keloid. And keloids turn out to be very unattractive and so they’re simply actually uncomfortable too, and so they block energetics as properly too of your physique. So the minute that we’ve got any sort of surgical procedure, even when it’s a microscopic, a small surgical procedure, something making use of castor oil publish surgical procedure, it may very well 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. But any sort of surgical procedure, making use of castor oil can simply assist with lymphatic circulation and therapeutic of any scars afterwards. So that’s an excellent little hack as properly too.
Katie: Makes sense. And to not use it till it’s really the pores and skin is closed as a result of I’d guess it additionally as a result of it’s so highly effective, might as an illustration, dissolve surgical glue or one thing like that. So you wouldn’t need to use it.
Marisol: Okay, yeah, you bought it. It is so highly effective. I believe perhaps it’s due to the title of castor oil. Castor oil is known as the palm of Christ oil. I simply discover that to be in all probability very telling of what castor oil does. Like, it’s simply fantastically highly effective.
Katie: And I’m additionally a giant fan of behavior stacking so one factor I’ve accomplished prior 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 unexpectedly 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 need to watch out with utilizing packs within the sauna, I’d use, say should you did a sauna, use it, put the pack on afterwards and with purple gentle I’d put the castor oil on purple gentle after which afterwards put the pack just because there’s an outdoor plastic layer on it’s the healthiest model of plastic that we will discover. But nonetheless, as a way 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. But I simply don’t need to have any threat. We’re undecided if the plastic might undergo should 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 leisure was. And then I used to be lastly in a position to get right into a meditation and never go loopy and have a panic assault once I was making an attempt to do a meditation. So it was the most effective issues for me to once more, and I like behavior stacking too, in order that helped me enormously. So if anybody out there was challenged with meditation, this may be one of many methods to facilitate and make it easy.
Katie: Great to know. And then I do know that there’s additionally vital high quality considerations in terms of castor oil. And similar to all of those advantages will be so useful should you aren’t utilizing a great supply, it looks like there’s really some potential threat hooked up. So if somebody goes to strive these items, what issues do they should search for in a castor oil to verify they’re getting a secure one?
Marisol: Perfect. 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 finest 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, yow will discover it on Amazon or on all these completely different locations pottled in plastic. But 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 every little thing into the physique. And should you’re packaging castor oil in plastic in any portion of the provision chain, ours oil by no means touches plastic. That’s my assure. I imply, we go to the provision chain, we’re even going to be beginning to really develop castor oil as a way to management it even additional. Because I exploit castor oil a lot in my life, for me, for my pals, for my household, and for your whole pals and your loved ones. We’re good pals. I don’t need to ever do something that isn’t good for individuals.
So it completely requires to be in glass in any respect time limits, even should 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. And then that’s what you’re going to be absorbing is extra of the plastic than really getting the advantages of the castor oil and plastic and castor oil, the explanation it’s no good is as a result of plastic are hormone disruptors. Plastic usually is mixed with phthalates, that are well-known hormone disruptors. And in terms of the castor oil pack, the software, 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 might be actually good for you, however natural bamboo is definitely fairly poisonous should you take a look at the manufacturing of natural bamboo. Organic bamboo is natural, proper? Like, it’s great as a result of it’s a plant and it grows, and that’s what makes it natural.
But to take that plant that’s bamboo is utilized in heavy building as a result of it’s as robust as metal. And so as a way to break down metal, think about what sort of chemical compounds you bought to make use of as a way to break down metal. And as a result of bamboo is eco-friendly, they use much less water to scrub it. So you possibly can think about that bamboo now’s going to be having chemical compounds with it. And then more often than not, bamboo isn’t simply bamboo fibers. The cellulose from bamboo, it’s really bamboo fibers blended with rayon, which is plastic and rayon. In order to make it softer, they use phthalate sprayed on it. So it could possibly turn out to be an actual poisonous load that you just’re going to be absorbing. By doing a castor oil pack with bamboo, it completely requires the layer that’s subsequent to your pores and skin, completely should be natural cotton. There is little doubt about it.
And you’re searching for flannel. You don’t desire a velour as a result of natural cotton velour is mixed with, once more, plastic fibers. There’s so many issues in terms of materials, so it completely should 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 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 should be washed and are there any particular issues for that? Can it’s used a number of instances earlier than washing or is that this in each single use it’s good to wash it?
Marisol: I like that. So you should use it a number of instances with out washing it. And ideally, you change the castor oil pack after about two months of normal utilization. So should you’re utilizing it daily so 60 therapies, you need to get a brand new pack. It nonetheless could be very reasonably priced in comparison with lots of the dietary supplements in the marketplace, however as a result of I don’t assume persons are very used to eliminating a bit of material or materials, however you do have to as a result of we’re undecided. Again, 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 need to guarantee that we don’t try this.
The different factor too is that I can get away should you use the pack correctly and solely use two tablespoons the primary time after which one tablespoon of castor oil each time after that. I imply, I exploit my pack for at the least a month with out having to do something with it and typically I am 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 try this. But not everybody is ready to do this. So if it’s a must to, you possibly can 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. You also can 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, straightforward method to clear it out as properly too. It’s by no means good although, after you wash it and finally you’re going to need to change it. So that’s in all probability the very best factor to know.
And then the one different aspect be aware on that’s in case you are 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 a variety of various things and also you need to sort of preserve it for every space and it’s additionally scientifically designed to suit the world and to cope with the dermatomes and the visceral reflexes which are 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 may 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 may have associated to that, in addition to to all these specifics of the place to search out every little thing. But within the curiosity of time, I all the time like to ask just a few questions on the finish of interviews. The first being if there’s a guide or variety of books which have profoundly impacted your life and in that case, what they’re and why life.
Marisol: Oh wow, there’s so many books, we’d be right here eternally. But I’m going to start out with in all probability crucial once I was a affected person, sorry, not a affected person, once I was in my first yr of medical apply, certainly one of my sufferers got here and she or he was a beautiful woman who regarded like she was about 20, however she was really like 60. And she stated to me, I owe it to castor oil, which was I already liked her proper off the bat, however she had informed me that every little thing that it’s good 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 actually I discovered it to be a really massive inspiration for therapeutic and protocols and all various things like Genesis is a good seven day cleanse. There’s so many various superb issues that you could reap out of the Bible, together with glorious issues to stay by, like reap what you sow, all these completely different great metaphors that you just get within the Bible.
After that I’d say Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching. It’s simply once more, historic, outdated rules from conventional Chinese again within the day of the Chinese empires and simply understanding the philosophies like be like water to circulation, that impacted me drastically. And one other guide can be The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. Again, it’s early nineteenth century. She was an exquisite girl. Probably one of many first girl metaphysicians, which signifies that she would work throughout the phrase and throughout the therapeutic, as a result of our phrase heals our physique and our soul and our thoughts. And a lot that we are saying what we are saying has magic and energy. And she 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 Game 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 overlook this from our final episode. You are very multi-lingual as properly. That’s unimaginable and spectacular. I’ll hyperlink to these as properly within the present notes for you guys listening. Everything is at wellnessmama.fm. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners that may very well be associated to castor oil or may very well be unrelated life recommendation that’s been useful to you.
Marisol: Awesome. I believe in all probability crucial 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 place a bandaid on it to place consideration and draw the eye there and get the physique its personal therapeutic and important power working. So I believe that’s in all probability crucial factor in regards to the castor oil packs.
And then secondly, as with every little thing, it’s simply apply and about being mild with your self whilst you’re working towards. Because if I look again to myself, earlier on in my life, I used to be so important. I used to be simply so imply to myself. The issues that I’d say to myself, I wouldn’t even say to a finest pal. I wouldn’t say that to anyone, however I used to be saying it to myself. And I noticed that the extra that I used to be similar to, love and acceptance and pleasure and coming from my coronary heart and talking my reality, 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 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 apply is simply to take action. And achieve this with the intent to apply and the intent to be mild with oneself. Because on the finish of the day, you might be your finest pal and it begins when you may have that relationship with your self. Then from there, I believe, like we stated in the beginning of this podcast, I do imagine that we will make higher pals outdoors of ourselves as a result of in the end it’s the connection that we’ve got with ourselves that may develop outdoors.
Katie: I adore it. I believe that’s an ideal place to wrap up for in the present day. Marisol, as all the time, it’s a pleasure. Thank you for sharing so many ideas and such fast succession and thanks on your time and being right here.
Marisol: Awesome. Thanks a lot too, Katie. I can’t wait until we get to hang around once more quickly.
Katie: And thanks, as all the time to all of you for listening and sharing your most beneficial sources, your time, your power and your consideration with us in the present day. We’re each so grateful that you just did, and I hope that you’ll be part of me once more on the following episode of The Wellness Mama Podcast.
If you’re having fun with these interviews, would you please take two minutes to go away a score or assessment on iTunes for me? Doing this helps extra individuals to search out the podcast, which implies much more mothers and households may benefit from the data. I actually respect your time, and thanks as all the time for listening.
