Shea butter is a skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree and that is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F. It offers UV protection (it is SPF ~6) and provides the skin with essential fatty acids and the nutrients necessary for collagen production. Shea butter has been used in Africa and other countries for years to improve skin and hair.

Shea Butter Benefits:

• Moisturizing: The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in Shea butter makes it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin. It is often use to remedy dry skin and to help protect the skin’s natural oils.

• Reduces Inflammation: A 2010 study found that due to its cinnamic acid and other natural properties, shea butter was anti-inflammatory. (source) One compound in particular, lupeol cinnamate, was found to reduce skin inflammation and even potentially help avoid skin mutations. This also makes it beneficial for some people with acne.

• Skin Smoothing: Shea butter aids in the skin’s natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. With long term use, many people report skin softening and strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction.

I use the Myofascial Releaser to help break up superficial myofascial adhesions and greatly increase blood flow to the target area to help the body heal itself much faster. Use of the tool is rarely uncomfortable but can cause bruising and which stimulates healing to the area. It magnifies the abnormalities (scars, restrictions and adhesions) in the fascia and make it easier. To locate the area to treat. This allows for a more efficient treatment. The goal is to trigger an inflammatory healing response, which stimulates the production of new collagen and proper, more functional, less painful healing.
