Lifestyle Hacks – Reverse pain, stiffness and aging in fingers, hands, wrists & lower arms naturally | Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning

Sometimes the greatest gifts are unexpected. While testing some oil mixtures for my face I had left overs in the bowl and decided to put them on my hands, wrists, and lower arms. Then I read about how an inexpensive face mask could hold the moisture during the facial. I decided to try it and remembered I had vinyl gloves. Wearing the gloves over the oils made a significant difference in the effects of the absorption of the oils.

When taking the gloves off and rubbing in the oils there was a significant felt sense difference in all the joints and soft tissue. This is when my Feldenkrais Practical mindfulness kicked in. Working with students in chronic long term pain in these areas has been a huge focus of attention in teaching Awareness through Movement Lessons and in personal Functional Integration sessions. This little hack could have the potential to soften the connective tissue that has become habitually inflamed and hardened. This harden and stiff tissue becomes the environmental influence of how the bone and joints are used. As it softens the bones and joints have more range potential in their movement patterns and this reduces the pain.

The bonus is the oils also reduce the look of aging in the skins appearances. One of the oil I use in this combination is Caster Oil. It removes, lumps, bumps and supports scar healing. The other oil is Sea Buckthorn which I have successfully used to remove pigmentation spots. The other ingredients is what gives it the aliveness and luxuriousness effect.

Here are the ingredients:

Caster Oil
Sea Buckthorn Oil
Aloe Vera Gel
Facial Mask
Vinyl Gloves

I added a small amount of Aloe Vera Gel, 1 teaspoon to tablespoon, with a teaspoon or less of Caster Oil and 6 to 8 drops of Sea Buckthorn Oil. Mixed together and applied. Remember the Sea Buckthorn Oil is orange. Don’t wear good clothing. It may appear orange on your face however doesn’t stain your skin orange, unless you lave it on. I usually do this in the evening or on a day off for self-care.

It takes less than three minutes to mix the ingredient and I leave on for twenty minutes. It’s the best 1/2 hour you’ll spend. I wouldn’t wait until later in life to take action. I would begin early in life. My mother-in-law had be start paying attention before I was 21! I would say you can start at any age, however the habitual behaviour is important. It’s easier to follow a habit than it is to start something new.

Castor Oil

This is a versatile oil. It is used as an antibacterial moisturizer, to reduce scars and skin spots, and bumps of all sorts. It reduces scar marks and supports major organs when used as a poultice. Also used to regrow hair.
