Castor Oil Pack Testimony: How I Relieved My Chronic Pain With Castor Oil

Castor oil packs are not something new, as it has been used in the olden days to treat various ailments including chronic pain, whether it is knee pain, muscle pain, or back pain. Castor oil is made from castor beans and is commonly used in folk and traditional medicine worldwide. As simple as castor oil may look, it is packed with tons of awesome benefits and the uses are endless.

Years ago, I started to have lower back pain, radiating up my spine. I would treat it with pain medication but it would eventually come back. I was getting really frustrated with this constant pain that seems to never go away for long.

I started doing some research and learned that castor oil had much more benefits than just for skin and hair. If you read my other blog posts, you will see how it helped with bald spots, thinning hair, and also helped to grow my hair.

I found a website that’s just dedicated to natural home remedies where people shared their real life experiences and testimonies from using castor oil packs for pain. I was intrigued with all these information that was new to me. I sat up late into the night reading and soaking up all the information I could find.

I decided that I would try this magical castor oil and see if people were just exaggerating. I didn’t have a castor oil pack at the time, so I got creative and made my own with what I had at home.

I applied the organic castor oil to my back, making sure to apply some along the spine. I then placed my homemade castor oil pack on my back and let it sit for at least an hour.

I got back pain relief from using the castor oil pack almost immediately. I couldn’t believe how easily it worked. However, the pain came back in a few months time.  That was still great for me since I got to experience no back pain for months.

Now I started to take it more seriously, so I kept using it whenever I felt the pain coming back, which each time the pain was less severe. I even passed this on to one of my sisters who had back pain, but I don’t think she used it.

Anyway, it’s been more than six months now and my chronic back pain is gone. I don’t know if there was inflammation in my spine or something else was wrong, but all I know is whatever it was, the castor oil pack took care of it for me and I’m so grateful.

I am so blown away by this magical oil that got rid of my pain so I decided to pass on this information that may be useful to someone else who is experiencing these debilitating chronic pain in their daily lives. Feel free to share your experiences and testimonies in the comment section.

The Perfect Wig: A Natural Solution for Women With Hair Loss

Some of us are fortunate to have hair, hair that we sometimes complain about. For some women, having their own natural hair, is just a far-fetched dream.

Hair loss can occur as a result of having chemotherapy, alopecia, certain types of medical conditions, or side effects from some medications. Most women who suffer from hair loss, may not feel comfortable revealing to others that they are losing their hair.

Feeling Confident Wearing Wigs After Hair Loss

The great news is that you can now feel confident about yourself by wearing natural looking wigs, partial wigs, or hair pieces that can be blended in with thinning hair. Whichever type of hair you decide to wear, being as natural as possible is the most important aspect.

While losing one’s hair is not life-threatening, it is life-changing. Going bald or having thinning hair can affect a person’s self-esteem profoundly. For cancer patients, losing their hair can be really devastating. They may choose to wear a wig to conceal their hair-loss until after treatment when their hair grows back.

Choosing the right type of wig for hair loss is very important. You want to look for a wig that looks natural. Choose a color that blends in nicely with your skin tone. Also, most of all, buy a wig that you are comfortable wearing.

Versatile Wigs for Hair Loss

Wigs come in different types such as human hair, synthetic hair, or even a mixture of both types. Price range can vary depending on if you are buying a human hair wig or a synthetic wig. Human hair wigs generally are more expensive than the synthetic ones.

Spending Wisely When Buying Wigs

Spending more on human hair wigs may benefit you in the end, as they usually last longer if taken care of properly. The synthetic ones my not last as long or look as nice over a period of time. So, spending a few more dollars will benefit you in the long run.

Changing Wig Hairstyles

With the many different options available, wigs have become versatile and convenient for many women who want to quickly change their hairstyle. For example, a full lace wig made from human hair will allow you to part your hair in any direction you like. This option would be for people who have some hair that can be cornrowed to accommodate the parting for that particular style.

Coloring Natural Human Hair Wigs

The good thing about wearing natural wigs, is that you can color them and style them just like you would do your own natural hair, just without damaging your own hair.

At the end of the day, the wig you choose is the one that makes you feel confident about your appearance when you walk out the door each day. Just remember to have fun with your wigs. You bought it, you flaunt it!
