TROPIC ISLE LIVING JAMAICAN BLACK CASTOR OIL

TROPIC ISLE LIVING [TIL] asks

Did you know this?

For ages throughout the Caribbean, black castor oil was and still is highly prized for its beneficial effect on the hair and scalp. Women with natural or permed hair use it to cleanse toxins and fatty deposits on the sca

lp and hair follicles that causes dandruff, dry scalp, and barber umps. It also nourishes the scalp; thickens hair roots; and stimulates hair growth. A black castor oil hot oil treatment will moisturise dry brittle hair; repair split ends; and gives the hair body, bounce and sheen.

Black castor oil is also popularly used to manage aches and pain caused by arthritis, rheumatism, joint stiffness and muscular strain. By massaging black castor oil in these it will help to sooth, cleanse and improve blood circulation to the area. It’s also used to soften corns and calluses and reduce the soreness.

Traditional healers usually recommend that women massage their breast with black castor oil to ease the soreness due to hormonal changes and to help prevent cysts and lumps from forming.

DON'T JUST HANG YOUR ONIONS *repost*

*repost from 31st March 2010* Just like all teenagers, I had selective hearing but 1 of the things that kept ringing in my rather stubborn ears was "onions are good for you". My mum said this and even went on to say how good it is for scars. 

Thank goodness I did not ignore her. I have always added onions to my diet and as well as a daily massage of pure unrefined shea butter on my skin, I barely have any scars.

There are so many different varieties of onions but they are used to:
* improve memory
* sore throat
* tummy infection
* high blood pressure

I came across this article whilst flicking through the newspaper yesterday:

EATING onions every day could protect against heart disease.

Researchers have found onions contain the largest amounts of quer·ce·tin A yellow powdered crystalline compound produced synthetically or occurring as a glycoside in the rind and bark of numerous plants, used medicinally to treat abnormal capillary fragility. Also called meletin. , an antioxidant antioxidant, substance that prevents or slows the breakdown of another substance by oxygen. Synthetic and natural antioxidants are used to slow the deterioration of gasoline and rubber, and such antioxidants as vitamin C (ascorbic acid), butylated hydroxytoluene thought to help delay or slow damage to cells and tissues.

Quercetin may also lower levels of 'bad' or LDL cholesterol 
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is the primary cholesterol molecule. High levels of LDL increase the risk of coronary heart disease. -- a risk factor for heart disease.

In a study at Wageningen Agricultural University, Holland, researchers looked at three major sources of the compound: tea, onions and apples. Onions contained twice as much as tea and more than three times the amount found in apples.

A second study at Christian-Albrechts University in Germany showed that a daily intake of 50 to 150mg was needed to enjoy the health benefits.

One medium-sized onion contains around 22 to 51mg. It doesn't matter whether the onion is raw or cooked.
