When the Edgar Cayce readings never basically
recommend make-up by itself, they do offer you a
refreshing tactic to stunning pores and skin, hair, nails,
ft, and hands. Healthful pores and skin is genuinely the final result of a
chain response, arising not only from the cleanliness
and well being of the overall body itself, but also from the
outpourings of the thoughts-with equally features working
harmoniously in sync, a balancing of inside as
well as external splendor. Preferably the foundation for
cosmetics would be a cleanse, nutritious skin, relatively than
their being utilized basically as a camouflage for flawed
skin. Suitable diet, physical exercise in the new air, and a
good emotional perspective are all specifications for
healthier pores and skin in addition to a good outer cleansing.
Facials are just one way of acquiring a good exterior
cleansing.
Also called mud packs or masks, facials are
prompt in the readings for a assortment of problems:
dermatitis, acne, blackheads, inadequate complexion,
sagging facial muscle tissue, or-as just one lady, 30-1
decades aged, was instructed-“…at the time a thirty day period, for the very
pleasure of it, we would have the mud pack.” (1968-
7) Generally astringent in nature (meaning “obtaining
a tightening or drawing outcome”), they also offer
a stimulation to the superficial skin layer, resulting
in increased circulation and therefore far more oxygen
and nutrients introduced to the skin floor. A a little reddish colour or a “peachy” glow
on the facial area signifies the cleansing
motion of the cure.
The type of mud pack referred
to most frequently was Boncilla, whose
primary preparation ingredient is a
specific sort of clay outlined
in one particular reading as remaining “additional
preferable…that is more of the
mother nature of chalk in exact.” (1709-
5) According to the Edgar Cayce
Encyclopedia of Therapeutic by Reba
Ann Karp, the clay was known
as Fuller’s Earth Somerset and
was accessible only in a certain
section of England, but the supply
has now been fatigued. However
numerous packs on the current market right now
incorporate French green clay or
bentonite as a major component and
these may well be helpful substitutes.
Treatment
No particular plan is outlined in
the readings. In essence, next
the guidelines on the container,
the clay is dampened, applied to
the confront and neck, then permitted
to dry, and fi nally eradicated. One
twenty-nine-calendar year-aged lady
who complained of facial bumps
and pimples was advised: “…about
two times a month, all through the
total interval, we would have the
Mud Packs confront and neck, and
across the shoulders, and higher
part about the neck specifically
extending more than the area of the
thyroids-as an astringent and as a
stimulation for a superior circulation
all over the system.” (1968-3)
Often when a single gets facials in
elegance salons, the mask is applied
only from the jaw line upward and
does not lengthen further than the chin and
face, contrary to what this looking at
suggests. So you can begin your
mask at the sternal notch and with
mild upward strokes distribute it to
the neck and face areas.
Aubrey Organics, a main
all-organic cosmetics line,
endorses steaming and
cleansing the facial area beforehand,
then massaging with oil, adopted
by application of the mud mask.
When the mask is dry (soon after about
10 minutes), take out with damp
towels, use an astringent (this sort of
as witch hazel) and a toner (this kind of as
rosewater), then use your favored
moisturizer. Conclusion with a mineral
h2o natural mist to hydrate the
pores and skin. How frequent? As soon as or two times
a month, condition the readings.
A single youthful lady, twenty a long time
outdated and suffering from pimples, was
warned that though the mud packs
would be advantageous, they would at
fi rst “evidently give a good deal
of disturbance, but following that the
response will be significantly far better.” Not
only would the packs increase “the
whole of the complexion [but also]
the normal health of the overall body.”
(1709-4) Excessive redness of the
skin or an outbreak of blemishes
may well end result from a facial, in all probability
because of to a person’s abnormal
toxicity. Nevertheless, as the reading
promised, potential applications
would give much better reactions.
An added touch: Although your
mask is drying, have anyone
massage your feet. This presents
a nice polarity to the entire
process.
A lot more Than Skin Deep
Intensive use of cosmetics
demonstrates our issue for
bodily appearances and the
actions we endeavor to continue to keep our
skin in very good situation. Mirroring
a holistic tactic, the readings
reveal that a big share
of skin troubles outcome from
circulatory disturbances, which are generally induced by improper
glandular functioning, weak
assimilations and eliminations,
and spinal misalignments.
Cosmetics, however, do play a
position, as 1 examining explained:
“Don’t depend on cosmetics
to distinct or purify the pores and skin. The
cosmetics should really be somewhat as
an help to preserving the superficial
circulation in portions of the
experience and palms in bettered
disorders.” (5271-1)
1 ultimate considered: “(Q)
How can men and women steer clear of aging in
look? (A) The intellect!”
(1947-4)
