Its uses extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) as a base, leaving skin soft and refreshed with a grounding, woody-floral scent. For skin tags and warts, recommend applying a drop of povidone iodine (active ingredient Betadine) and a drop of garlic juice. May stain the skin or cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Phototoxicity – Discoloration of Skin Exposed to Sunlight Cold-pressed lemon can cause phototoxicity due to compounds like furanocoumarins that react with UV light, potentially leading to skin irritation, redness, blistering, or discoloration when applied topically and exposed to sunlight. Steam-distilled lemon oil, however, is generally non-phototoxic as the distillation process removes these compounds. Geranium and ylang ylang essential oils do not cause phototoxicity as they lack furanocoumarins. Essential oils more prone to causing phototoxicity primarily include cold-pressed citrus oils (e.g., bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and bitter orange) due to high furanocoumarin content, along with some non-citrus oils like angelica root, cumin, ginger, lemon verbena, rue, tagetes, and verbena absolute; reactions can be mitigated by proper dilution (e.g., bergamot at ≤0.4%, grapefruit at […]

Body Types

01-Adrenal asdf 02-Balanced asdf 03-Blood asdf 04-Brain asdf 05-Eye asdf 06-Gallbladder asfd 07-Gonadal asfd 08-Heart asdf 09-Hypothalamus asdf 10-Intestinal Intestinal Dominant Characteristics and Traits The Intestinal body type is fundamentally defined by Spiritual and Emotional dimensionality, with expansion as its existential imperative. This type operates on a profound principle of dynamic growth: when internal expansion—mental and emotional—is constrained, the Intestinal body will inevitably manifest physical expansion (gain weight) as an alternative expression of its intrinsic need for growth. Restriction functions not as a limitation, but as a motivational catalytic mechanism. When confronted with constraining circumstances, the Intestinal will experience a powerful motivational force that propels them from known, stagnant environments into uncharted territories of experience. This transition is not merely a physical movement but a spiritual journey of becoming. The ultimate destination of this transformative process is not simply personal change but the creation of a broader relational landscape. Through their capacity for deep absorption and integration of new experiences, Intestinals contribute to manifesting what might be conceptualized as a tangible, interpersonal manifestation of peace—a lived, embodied harmony that transcends abstract conceptualization. Their path is characterized by: Intestinal Common Emotional Issues Intestinal Personality Characteristics – Spiritual/Emotional Intestinal Physical Features – […]
