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 [...]

In our Cellulite Book-of-the-Month, Dr. Berkowsky’s Vital Chi Skin-Brushing System, cellulite reduction is listed as one of the primary benefits of dry skin brushing.  Dr. Berkowsky explains that cellulite is caused, at least in part, by congestion in the blood and lymph circulatory systems.  According to Dr. Berkowsky, stagnant lymph causes congestion not only in the lymph circulatory system, but in the blood circulatory system (veins and arteries), too. My favorite lines in this small [...]

We learned a lot during our month-long discussion of the June Cellulite BOTM, The Fat Flush Plan by Ann Louise Gittleman.  Our investigation revealed why drinking cranberry water is an effective cellulite treatment, why two eggs a day are a smart addition to an anti-cellulite diet, and how an unhealthy liver or food sensitivities can contribute to cellulite. The Fat Flush Plan contains much more cellulite-related info, but we can only cover so much in [...]

Yikes, it’s officially June already! But before we get into The Fat Flush Plan by Ann Louise Gittleman (this month’s selection for our Cellulite Book-of-the-Month), I wanted to discuss one last thought from last month’s Cellulite BOTM, The Undervalued Self by Dr. Elaine Aron. In addition to dream analysis, Dr. Aron describes another method that can be used to probe the subconscious for help with healing.  It’s called “active imagination.” What is Active Imagination? Active [...]
