  Castor oil is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the castor bean plant, scientifically known as Ricinus communis. It is a pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor. Castor oil has been used for various purposes for centuries, ranging from medicinal to industrial applications. It is extremely high in ricinoleic acid, which is thought to be responsible for its health-promoting abilities. In fact, it was once called Palma christe because its leaves resembled the hands of Christ. It is important to note that while castor oil is said to have health benefits, the castor seed itself can be deadly. Internal use of castor oil can be safe, but warrants caution.     The best and most efficient way of using castor oil is to make castor oil packs.

And this does hurt. I don’t for a second think I’m alone with this either. No matter who you are there’s times growing up when you want nothing more than acceptance . Because here’s the thing: This need for acceptance, it’s a natural human tendency. As we grow we try to fit into the world as best we ca

 When it comes to education, every decision feels like the most important one. Whilst an exciting time to explore your passions, it can also be a daunting one. In this blog, I will be  shareing how student life influences mental health and discusses how you are never alone in wondering about whether your choices were the ‘right’ ones.    Everyone is normally their worst critic; I was mine. Being a student is all about learning, but not just in the classroom. Though tricky to navigate at times, it's a perfect opportunity to learn about yourself and life beyond the curriculum of your course.     Think of student life as a step ladder, starting at the bottom, undoubtedly small wobbles/big fall off in between, and eventually reaching the top as a qualified person of some sort. Without a stable base, you’re bound to fall. It might feel like you're back to square one, starting at the bottom but - remember - you're already climbing, and you aren’t alone on your climb to success,

      Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, and a range of physical and emotional symptoms. It is more than just feeling down or having a "bad day." Depression is a medical condition that affects a person's thoughts, feelings, behavior, and overall well-being.
