My wife and I will reach 40 years old this year (for the youngest, don't be afraid, it does not hurt :-), and we recently developed an interest towards alternative medicines to take care of our health and improve our general well being.
I chose acupuncture as homeopathic treatment, and my wife (it will be our 20th anniversary this year), phytotherapy and aromatherapy. Her first test: fight cellulitis. I found treatment recommendations in a reflexology book. In addition to plantar and palmar reflexology (feet massage and hands massage), the author recommends homeopathic treatments such as herb teas and preparations of ginger and juniper. (Green tea also brings great health benefits mainly because of the high content in antioxidants, but it is another subject)
Ricin oil to treat cellulitis:
Recommended essential oils are geranium essential oil, rosemary, grapefruit, juniper, and cypress extract for a massage with a luffa, the chosen essential oil being mixed with ricin oil (beaver oil, also called castor bean, ricinus communis, or Palma Christi). Beaver oil is recommended for various applications in the famous psychics Edgar Cayce's readings. Edgar Cayce is a famous American psychic that lived in the early years of the 20th century well known for its miraculous healing using ricin oil, but again, it is another subject).
Thus, I went to my natural foods shop with the intention to buy one or more recommended essential oils to begin essential oils treatments, but a nice clerk showed me a mixture specially design to fight cellulites. The essential oils are ready to use for cellulitis massage. The product is a ready to use formula. It is a mixture of Cedrus atlantica, Cupressus sempervirens, Melaleuca quinqunervia, CT1 cineole, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Helichrysum italicum. The essential oils must be diluted in ricin oil prior to massage of the cellulitis.
I also bought bromelain capsules (pineapple bromelain), a source of pineapple enzymes, and a natural fat burner. It is more useful than eating a pineapple a day!
Finally, lymph cleaning is also advised. I bought a nutritional supplement, in liquid form, containing beet, alfafa, baccharis, Tayuya, Maylenus illicifora, cider vinegar and Jurubeba.
If you find that this is not enough, then finish with a bath with pink essential oil, accompanied by an essential oils diffuser.
We will see in a few weeks if this treatment helps in cellulitis treatment!
Hope it will be useful!
