Christmas Eve is steeped in tradition- from making grandma’s sugar cookies to spicing the holiday nog, many of the holiday festivities render the liver and lymphatic system overloaded with waste materials. Detoxification (removing the buildup of these byproducts) is essential for balanced health, and a radiant New Year. What better time to reflect, considering why these traditions are significant, and even consider making new, beneficial ones!
Centuries ago, the castor bean plant was referred to as the “Palma Christe” because the shape of the plant’s leaves was thought to resemble the palm of Christ. As castor oil is absorbed through the skin it facilitates lymphatic flow, speeding the removal of cellular toxins, reducing swollen lymph nodes, and thereby improving organ function: facilitating growth and repair, relieving fatigue and depression. No drug exists that has the ability to improve lymphatic flow; however, the application of a Castor Oil Pack can (Williams, 2014)!
