This Home Remedy Works Against Cellulite & Hair Loss
Having been underestimated as a beauty talent for years, mustard is now coming out on top. In the fight against cellulite and hair loss.
Mustard, an all-rounder
Mustard can do more than hot dogs. His oils, which are in the mustard seeds, are real beauty talents. What mustard can do is amazing. The reason for this is its circulation-promoting properties, which are good for our skin, hair, muscles and tissues.
With mustard against cellulite
Mustard promotes blood circulation and is perfect for heating up your thighs. The mustard oil is therefore actually in some beauty products against cellulite, such as the birch oil from Dr. Hauschka or the 10 Herbal Cellulite Oil from Khadi. The fight against cellulite can only be won by stimulating blood circulation. Coupled with a sensible sports program and massages, everything that stimulates fat cells is welcome.
In Ayurveda, mustard oil is also recommended as a remedy for cellulite, a tried and tested cosmetic treatment is herbal stamping “Jambira Pinda Sveda”. Chopped lemons are mixed with desiccated coconut, filled with cotton towels, warmed in mustard oil and then stamped on the thighs.
If you want to mix a massage oil against cellulite yourself, it is best to use the following ingredients: wheat germ oil, almond oil, sesame oil, apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil, wild rose oil, arnica oil, citrus oils such as orange oil, grapefruit and essential oils that have a strong blood circulation such as mustard oil, cypress and rosemary.
Mustard wakes up tired legs
Anyone who has had to stand too long knows how much this can strain the veins. A little rub with mustard oil or rubs containing the hot oil will cheer up our legs again. The blood circulation is stimulated, the muscles can relax.
Muscle relaxation thanks to mustard
The pungent plant manages to stimulate the metabolism in cases of hardening and painful muscle tension, thus providing us with relief from tension. A bath in mustard oil loosens hardenings and improves the blood circulation in tense areas.
As a hair mask to invigorate
Since mustard stimulates blood circulation, it can also help hair growth. Because the scalp is stimulated, the hair roots are better supplied with blood and nutrients. Mustard oil is found in various hair restorers, but is also said to help against split ends and brittle hair. It is also often used in hair oils and oil treatments. Great DIY mask: mix 2 tablespoons of ground mustard powder, 3-4 tablespoons of warm water, 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, apply to the hair and scalp and leave for about 15 minutes. Then wash out with shampoo.
Caution when using on the face
We have now praised the circulation-promoting properties of mustard on several occasions – but in the face we should be careful with the use of mustard for precisely this reason. Especially sensitive skin that is prone to redness or couperose is irritated by the additional blood circulation and the aggressive mustard oils – there is a fire alarm on the cheeks.
