Thumbnail image for Searching for Cellulite Clues in Healing Wise by Susun Weed

Healing Wise, part of the Wise Woman Herbal Series by Susun Weed, is the most recent book we are investigating for our cellulite inquiry. I have limited experience with herbal remedies (see the post about my botched experiment with horse chestnut).  I am eager to learn more and Susun’s book came highly recommended by a fellow cellulite investigator.  I take these recommendations to heart because they’ve led me to some amazing discoveries in the past.  [...]

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback about the CI storefront. I was worried it might be off-putting to some so I’m glad to hear you think it will be a helpful component of the site. I spent waaaaaaay too much time last night working on getting the storefront up and running. I wanted to take my time selecting the products and writing descriptions for each one.  Right now it offers my favorite body brushes, yoga [...]

I have several new books on my bookshelf right now.  The one I’m most excited about is Healing Wise by Susun Weed. The book was recommended by a fellow cellulite investigator when she mentioned a recipe it contains for a homemade herbal conditioner (thanks, Leah!). Just 18 pages in, I already experienced that goose-bump sensation that tells me when a book is going to have important information for our case. About the Wise Woman Tradition [...]

In a guest post from October, Liz Schau proposed that an Ayurvedic diet just might be an ideal cellulite treatment.   After learning that the lymphatic system is a central component in the Ayurvedic philosophy, I knew I had to learn more about this mysterious subject for our investigation. Consequently, this month’s Cellulite Book-of-the-Month is Absolute Beauty: Radiant Skin and Inner Harmony Through the Ancient Secrets of Ayurvedaby Dr. Pratima Raichur. About Pratima Raichur and [...]

Written over 35 years ago, this month’s cellulite BOTM is no longer in print.  I first heard of this intriguing book two years ago in Katie Singer’s, The Garden of Fertility.  I wanted to read it right away but it was difficult to find at the time.  It addresses the subject of menstrual regularity, which to me translates as hormonal balance –an important component in our investigation into cellulite. The book is called Lunaception: A [...]

In The Truth About Beauty, author Kat James explains the negative side effects of conventional beauty products and promotes the idea of a beauty transformation from the inside out.  She devotes a sizable section of chapter 3 to establishing why natural products are often overlooked by the media and why your doctor probably is not informed about the latest research on natural treatment options.  Her “process of shedding” has us ditching all kinds of harsh [...]
