Handmade Christmas ......

*Agrisept-L formula balances your body's flora and fungus levels for an increased sense of wellness. I add a few drops to enhance the quality of my lotions and butters, as well as keep bacteria out naturally. It’s an antiseptic, an antirheumatic, a bactericide, a fungicide and an antioxidant. The main active agents contained in citrus extracts are limonene, coumarins, flavonoids, Vitamin A, B, B1, B2. I also use it to clean fruits and vegetables for prolonged freshness. Agrisept-L also influences weight loss inhibitors in your body to boost the effectiveness of your weight loss program too.
*Castor oil packs soaked through the skin improve the body’s ability to assimilate nutrients, eliminate toxins, and stimulate circulation. help the skin retain its natural healing properties as well as stimulate the body’s muscles and internal organs. This is because ricinoleic acid in castor oil prevents the growth of bacteria, yeast, and viruses. Did you know castor oil has another common name, palm of Christ, or Palma Christi, that derives from castor oil's reputed ability to heal wounds and cure ailments. Castor Oil is a therapeutic body butter used to tone, nourish, moisturize and protect the skin. Soothes dry & irritated skin; helps with Eczema and fungal
infected fingers and toes.
