First of all, thank you for
all your support. You are
wonderful, amazing
humans! The Unfold
Durban Tribe!
I did a bit of a black and
white issue this month,
The idea behind this was
to highlight and contrast
the life and colour of the
Macnut Farm feature
article. It was inspired by
Hannah Paine who is a
way colourful character
indeed.
Also, its a reminder that
not everything is black
and white, a reminder to
live in all grey, 50 shades
of grey plus a
kaleidoscope of colours.
Live outside the boxes
created for us, colour
outside the lines a little!
Take the risks, walk in the
unknown. It will be OK.

cosmic journey,
stardust, swirling and
dancing in the eddies
and whirlpools of
infinity. Life is eternal.
We have stopped for a
moment to encounter
each other, to meet, to
love, to share.This is a
precious moment. It is
a little parenthesis in
eternity.” -Paulo

Hi Loyal readers
Castor oil is a versatile elixir that has been available for centuries but has been mostly overlooked
since the 1970s. It is now making an astonishing comeback in the area of holistic wellness and
natural treatments.
The Legacy of Castor Oil
Castor oil is made from the seeds of the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis)It has been utilised for
both medical and cosmetic purposes for generations throughout many cultures. It was regarded by
the ancient Greeks and Egyptians as an effective treatment for a wide range of illnesses. Its appeal
waned in the 1970s however as more people turned to chemically produced products for their
health and cosmetic needs.
Castor oil is becoming more popular again in recent years due to its legacy of efficacy. In contrast to
other oils, castor oil is made by pressing castor bean seeds without the use of heat or chemicals. This
delicate extraction process keeps the oil's natural ingredients intact, enhancing its effectiveness.

Rediscovering the Wonders of Castor Oil

Skin and Hair
Castor oil is well known for its ability to moisturise when applied
topically. It hydrates and nourishes the skin, reducing dryness and
flakiness. It is a fantastic choice for skin that is prone to acne due to
its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
Castor oil that has been cold-pressed is a recommended option for
hair care because it strengthens hair strands and encourages hair
growth.
Pain Management
For generations, castor oil packs have been used to reduce pain
and inflammation due to its effect on the lymphatic system. When
applied to aching joints and muscles, the oil's ricinoleic acid help
relieve pain and inflammation
Colon Health
Castor oil has long been used as a natural
laxative. In addition when taken orally for
ages. Constipation can be eased, and
regular bowel motions can be encouraged.
It also boosts your immunity by stimulating
the thymus gland to increase white blood
cell count.
Antimicrobial Properties
Castor oil can be used to treat a variety of
skin problems since it includes substances
with antibacterial and anti-fungal effects.
Castor oil creates an environment that may
help promote healing and prevent sores
from drying out when applied to the skin.
Beauty benefits
Cold-pressed castor oil is increasingly used in
skincare and cosmetics due to consumers'
inclination for natural and organic cosmetics.
The ingredients in many popular moisturizing
products, like preservatives, perfumes, and dyes,
may irritate the skin and harm overall health. By
substituting castor oil for these products, you
can reduce your exposure to these additives.
Castor oil is a low-cost alternative you can use on
both your face and body.
Eco- Friendly
Castor oil is an appealing choice for consumers
who are concerned about the environment
because of the sustainable cold-pressing
method that supports contemporary
sustainability ideals. This is perhaps the main
reason for its return. People are seeing the value
in returning to tried and tested natural methods
for health and wellness.
Holistic medical practises
Castor oil has received new attention as a
result of the resurgence of natural healing
methods and holistic health practices. More
people are seeking non-invasive, soft
options for health and wellness. Castor oil is
valued in today's world of holistic wellness
since it has been used for centuries to treat
many ailments. Its resurrection as a fixture in
homes and health regimens around the
world is due to its extraordinary versatility
and natural healing capabilities.
Trusted remedies that stood the test of time
A testament to natural remedies' enduring power is the revival of castor oil. In the quest for natural
alternatives to synthetic products, castor oil has emerged as a versatile elixir with countless health
benefits for skin, hair, digestion, and overall well-being.
Add cold-pressed castor oil to your daily routine if you want to harness the power of nature to enhance
your health. The story of its comeback serves as a reminder that sometimes, we should turn to remedies
that have always worked for us.

across the grounds reveals a
variety of distinctive chapels,
each built with artistic acuity

Hannah calls them Chapels
but they are really sacred
spaces that she connects with
and wants to draw others in to
expereince.
