Our skin is our largest organ and receives about a third of all of the blood circulated in the body. It’s active! Stimulating the skin by brushing or vigorous rubbing stimulates the skin and helps keep pores open so that we can perspire easily (and that’s partly how wastes leave our body). The stimulation also can improve the skin’s overall health and balance fat distribution. Chen Pi Body Oil is designed to improve those functions when applied to the skin when you do your scrubbing (vigorous rubbing). It can also be used in conjunction with the Chinese therapy called gua sha for treatment of cellulite. 90% organic.
What it does:
Because your skin is an organ that has functions and is affected by topical lotions and oils, the herbs in this formula affect it. Rosemary oil helps detox and relieve bloating. The vitamin E in grapeseed oil helps keep the skin firm and smooth. Citrus peel (chen pi) removes stagnation while cypress also helps remove fat via urination and it’s good for the liver. Dr. Lucas uses this oil locally over the liver area with a warm cloth to help detox the liver after events like chemotherapy.

This body oil is truly a miracle oil in a bottle! I have had 3 children and nothing I've tried would work to flatten my belly. I started using this oil 2x a day in the morning and then again before bed and I cannot believe the fantastic results. If you are disciplined with the oil and massage, you should see some big changes. I do eat a healthy diet, and try to avoid starch and cow dairy. In addition, I do a little exercise for the tummy daily. In the past I did all those things but no change until I began using this oil. I'm a believer!
