Whilst the Edgar Cayce readings never basically
endorse make-up by itself, they do present a
refreshing tactic to beautiful pores and skin, hair, nails,
toes, and palms. Healthful skin is genuinely the outcome 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 both areas operating
harmoniously in sync, a balancing of internal as
nicely as external splendor. Ideally the foundation for
cosmetics would be a thoroughly clean, nutritious pores and skin, somewhat than
their getting used basically as a camouflage for flawed
skin. Good nutrition, exercising in the refreshing air, and a
optimistic emotional mind-set are all specifications for
balanced pores and skin in addition to a great outer cleansing.
Facials are one particular way of accomplishing a appropriate external
cleaning.
Also referred to as mud packs or masks, facials are
instructed in the readings for a selection of problems:
dermatitis, acne, blackheads, very poor complexion,
sagging facial muscle tissues, or-as a single girl, thirty-a single
many years outdated, was instructed-“…once a thirty day period, for the really
satisfaction of it, we would have the mud pack.” (1968-
7) Typically astringent in character (which means “acquiring
a tightening or drawing influence”), they also present
a stimulation to the superficial pores and skin layer, resulting
in increased circulation and hence far more oxygen
and vitamins brought to the pores and skin area. A marginally reddish color or a “peachy” glow
on the deal with suggests the cleaning
action of the cure.
The sort of mud pack referred
to most normally was Boncilla, whose
primary planning component is a
particular style of clay pointed out
in one looking at as becoming “additional
preferable…that is much more of the
nature of chalk in identical.” (1709-
5) According to the Edgar Cayce
Encyclopedia of Healing by Reba
Ann Karp, the clay was recognised
as Fuller’s Earth Somerset and
was offered only in a unique
part of England, but the source
has now been exhausted. Nevertheless
quite a few packs on the sector now
contain French environmentally friendly clay or
bentonite as a primary ingredient and
these may possibly be powerful substitutes.
Treatment
No precise routine is outlined in
the readings. Generally, pursuing
the recommendations on the container,
the clay is dampened, utilized to
the face and neck, then authorized
to dry, and fi nally removed. One
twenty-9-12 months-old female
who complained of facial bumps
and pimples was informed: “…about
2 times a thirty day period, all through the
full time period, we would have the
Mud Packs face and neck, and
throughout the shoulders, and upper
portion about the neck specially
extending around the area of the
thyroids-as an astringent and as a
stimulation for a far better circulation
all through the process.” (1968-3)
Often when 1 gets facials in
attractiveness salons, the mask is utilized
only from the jaw line upward and
won’t increase past the chin and
facial area, contrary to what this looking through
implies. So you can get started your
mask at the sternal notch and with
gentle upward strokes distribute it to
the neck and confront spots.
Aubrey Organics, a primary
all-normal cosmetics line,
endorses steaming and
cleaning the experience beforehand,
then massaging with oil, adopted
by software of the mud mask.
When the mask is dry (right after about
ten minutes), get rid of with wet
towels, utilize an astringent (this kind of
as witch hazel) and a toner (these kinds of as
rosewater), then use your most loved
moisturizer. Finish with a mineral
water natural mist to hydrate the
pores and skin. How recurrent? The moment or 2 times
a thirty day period, condition the readings.
1 youthful woman, 20 decades
aged and struggling from acne breakouts, was
warned that whilst the mud packs
would be effective, they would at
fi rst “apparently give a good offer
of disturbance, but right after that the
response will be considerably improved.” Not
only would the packs make improvements to “the
complete of the complexion [but also]
the standard health and fitness of the overall body.”
(1709-4) Too much redness of the
skin or an outbreak of blemishes
may consequence from a facial, probably
because of to a person’s excessive
toxicity. Nonetheless, as the reading
promised, long term applications
would give greater reactions.
An extra contact: When your
mask is drying, have a person
therapeutic massage your toes. This provides
a great polarity to the whole
procedure.
More Than Skin Deep
Substantial use of cosmetics
demonstrates our problem for
actual physical appearances and the
steps we attempt to continue to keep our
skin in very good problem. Mirroring
a holistic approach, the readings
point out that a large share
of pores and skin challenges outcome from
circulatory disturbances, which are usually induced by inappropriate
glandular working, poor
assimilations and eliminations,
and spinal misalignments.
Cosmetics, on the other hand, do engage in a
job, as one particular examining described:
“Do not count on cosmetics
to distinct or purify the skin. The
cosmetics should be fairly as
an aid to holding the superficial
circulation in portions of the
encounter and palms in bettered
situations.” (5271-1)
One particular remaining assumed: “(Q)
How can individuals stay away from growing old in
visual appeal? (A) The intellect!”
(1947-4)
