1
I want to talk about castor oil and what it can do for your face.
2
It's definitely nature's natural Botox.
3
It's really stood the test of time.
4
It's been around for thousands of years.
5
Egyptians used it.
6
The Romans used it.
7
Many other civilizations used it for certain healing properties.
8
Most importantly, should we be concerned about the toxin ricin in castor oil?
9
It's actually 6 ,000 times more poisonous than cyanide.
10
This compound is 12 ,000 times more poisonous than rattlesnake venom.
11
Let's dive right in and talk about castor oil.
12
It can give your skin that soft, glowing, elastic, and firm look.
13
Whether you have these little fine wrinkles or bigger wrinkles or dry skin, you need to use castor oil.
14
The main phytochemical that's behind all these amazing effects is called ricinoleic acid.
15
It's a deep penetrating moisturizer.
16
Kind of traps the water in there and it keeps you super hydrated.
17
This is why a lot of people actually put this oil on their face at night.
18
And then when they wake up in the morning, they're like, wow, my skin looks significantly different.
19
You can also put this on your hair.
20
And I'm going to show you how to apply it on the hair in a little bit, as well as on your scalp.
21
If you have split ends or you have dried out hair, you can definitely see a huge change very quick.
22
This plant -based chemical also has very powerful anti -inflammatory effects.
23
Applying castor oil onto a face that's inflamed, it's a very effective remedy.
24
Castor oil also has an antimicrobial effect too.
25
You have to understand that there is an entire microbial life on the surface of all of your skin.
26
Those microbes are there to protect you against all sorts of bad things.
27
You have to realize that there's a lot of skin -related problems
28
that are an overgrowth of either bacteria or yeast or even of fungus.
29
Castor oil is the perfect antidote to that.
30
There's also a bacterial component to acne.
31
Castor oil also has a good amount of vitamin E.
32
Vitamin E can give you protection against things like UV radiation and pollution.
33
Some of the properties in castor oil, you can put on a wound to heal it.
34
It also has other properties of fading the darker spots on the skin as well.
35
This can overall give you a nice even complexion.
36
In castor oil, there's a vitamin A precursors, beta carotene, which can help support the skin.
37
You also have a good amount of magnesium and potassium, which the skin could benefit from as well.
38
And there's even some evidence that castor oil can help stimulate collagen synthesis,
39
which is actually very important in the anti -aging process to keep that collagen as full as possible.
40
You would definitely want to apply castor oil to any scars
41
that you have acne scars scars from stretch marks
42
which happen to be in your abdomen any scars in the
43
body you want to routinely rub a few drops into a
44
scar for a period of maybe 30 seconds as far as
45
the potency of this anti -inflammatory effect it can be comparable
46
to something like ibuprofen how do we apply it a lot
47
of people cut it with other oils coconut oil olive oil
48
and there's hundreds of different types of oils you can also cut it with other people don't cut it.
49
They use it as is because one of the challenges with this oil, it's thick and a little bit sticky.
50
You simply take a couple drops, put it on your fingertips and rub it into your face in areas that are dry, wrinkled or reddened or irritated.
51
You just apply a little bit more of that into those areas.
52
If we're talking about a couple drops, we're talking about like three cents a day it's going to cost you to create these effects.
53
I recommend applying this before you go to bed.
54
When you wake up, it has a chance to really penetrate and soak into the tissues.
55
I would be careful putting it around your abdomen or pelvis area
56
if you're pregnant and you're not ready to deliver because it could induce labor.
57
Another application is some women use it to take off makeup from their face.
58
They might mix it in with other types of lotions as a makeup remover as well
59
because it gives you some additional benefits.
60
If you're going to put it in your hair, What I would recommend, especially if you have hair loss, is to rub it deep into the scalp.
61
What it could potentially do is stimulate the growth of hair, especially if you have alopecia.
62
You really want to rub it deeply and really scrub into the scalp any areas where you want to grow hair.
63
I'd also put like four drops into your fingertips
64
and run it through your entire hair as well before you go to bed.
65
That way, when you wake up, you're going to notice that your hair is just so hydrated.
66
As far as the type of castor oil I would recommend, I would definitely spend the extra money for something cold pressed, something without hexane.
67
That's a solvent.
68
You want organic, they use hexane and a lot of the seed oils to extract certain things as well.
69
So if you're consuming soy oil, canola, cottonseed, corn oil, you're getting potentially some hexane.
70
And a lot of people use the Jamaican black castor oil.
71
It seems to have some amazing properties that are even better than the regular castor oil in other parts of the world.
72
If you want to grow your eyelashes.
73
Castor oil is a great remedy.
74
Just on a daily basis, rub just a little bit into the roots of the eyelashes
75
and watch things start to change in a positive way.
76
Lastly, what about this toxin in castor oil?
77
You don't have to worry about it.
78
That specific toxin is eliminated in the production of creating this oil.
79
The manufacturer companies that make this know about this poison, and so it's tested to make sure there's no poison in there. Of course,
80
if anyone is exposed to this unfortunately there's not a simple
81
antidote you just need to go to the hospital to see what they can do
82
and if you have certain amounts
83
which is not a lot you have like 36 to 72 hours before you die can be very dangerous
84
but of course you do not have to worry about that
85
if you're using the oil it's quite a paradox to have something
86
so poisonous to be also be so therapeutic to
87
so many parts of your body it's quite fascinating thanks for watching
88
and if you haven't seen my video on the number one nutrient deficiency behind all types of skin disorders, okay, and we're talking about dermatitis and a lot of other skin problems.
89
If you haven't seen the video, you might want to watch it.
90
I'll put it up right here.
91
Check it out.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
