Mayapura,
West Bengal
Miracle Oil
Bengalis
love their mustard seed oil. It has a
pungent scent but when you investigate its phenomenally great benefits, it
compensates for the strength of the smell. Locals put it in their hair.
Apparently hair loves it. It’s also beneficial for the skin. Bengalis also cook
with it. It’s recommended for internal consumption. Not much, but some.
Mosquitoes
don’t like it so that’s a plus. Another advantage to its usage is that when a
small amount is applied to the skin in the sun, it protects the skin leaving it
healthy. I’ll have to remember that the next time I walk through Nevada.
Our
guru, who is from Bengal, prescribed a tooth paste of primarily calcium
carbonate, sea salt and mustard seed oil. I recall making a large batch for the
ashram the year I joined (’73). The
stuff is great for the teeth even as it whitens.
The
massage man who came to oil me up yesterday and today, used the mustard seed
extract. I got warmed up immediately. My knees, which have some poor blood
circulation as of late, felt a relief. It’s true. It also acts positively on
arthritis.
Let’s
go down the list a bit further. It boosts your appetite. (I’ve tossed wild
mustard leaves in my salad when going across Canada. Just plucked them out of
the ditch.) Mustard oil fights bacterial infections, as well as fungal
infections. It prevents phlegm, contains Vitamin E, and helps to treat colds,
which there are a lot of in Mayapura right now. It’s a miracle oil!
May
the Source be with you!
