The Benefits of Shea Butter

[@christinam.3410]

So, my husband is undergoing immunotherapy for lung cancer. Immunotherapy isn't as devastating as chemo but it does come with a series of big problems. My hubby was hit with an insane herpes zoster in his genital area. I will not go into detail on how bad it was, but it was bad bad bad. Of course he had to go with strong antiviral medications but none of the creams he was prescribed worked. Not only, they just made things a lot worse. He was red, burning, peeling horribly and was in so much pain he couldn't bare it. I make my own remedies and had a good amount of pure organic shea butter. I got him to apply it abundantly 3 times a day and not only did it not burn but it soothed, relieved and regenerated his skin in a matter of 3 days. He's not over it yet but shea butter has been a miracle!

[@mmcdonald1000]

Shea butter is a God sent product. It helped my skin a lot

[@valenciataylor7872]

I absolutely love shea butter💛🤍. I make a whipped butter using shea butter, olive oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, castor oil and I whip it up using my hand mixer and I make it fluffy like whipped cream or just creamy. It works wonders on the skin and hair🕊️💛🤍. It healed the eczema on my skin and it also helped grow a friend of mine's hair back. He had a big bald spot and his hair has grew back!! It truly is a miracle butter!! 🕊️💛🤍

[@joypowlison8127]

Did you use equal amounts of all those oils?

[@valenciataylor7872]

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

[@kristif5009]

Would you mind listing the recipe? That would be super helpful!

[@4pennygirl]

I wish my husband would like his hair back. I’d use it on his head. Lol.

[@buskingforlife]

Is it because all of those different oil has different benefits that you use so many?

[@jamesvalentine9553]

My 3 year old son had horrible eczema, all the sterpid creams the doctors gave us didnt work. I went to african festival in Detroit where a vendor saw my son's skin and GAVE me shea butter and black soap. 2 weeks and eczema gone. My son is 22 now and hasnt had an outbreak since. I use it for my face body and hair. Amazing stuff

[@cieloazul378]

@jamesvalentine9553 what soap was that?

[@DonnaMM6361]

Wow! That woman must have known what she was talking about! That is a great testimony!

[@kdslQing]

I suffer from relapsing dry cracked skin of my hands and it can be painful because of the cracks. This problem might go off for months and come back again. I tried many kinds of oils like almond oil, grape seed oil, candlenut oil, coconut oil, mink oil, snake oil, neem oil, jojoba oil. I also tried various types of creams. Only jojoba and coconut oils help a bit but the problem persists. So since suffering this problem for the last 5 months I tried applying Shea Nut Oil from Now brand for a week and my hands are now almost completely healed. After application this oil vanishes rather quickly after15 minutes and I can apply again. But if I apply on another part of my skin that does not have this same symptom the oil stays on it for the whole day. This shows that the dry cracked skin on my hands is caused by an oil deficiency which Shea Nut Oil replaces.

[@witchy8578]

I adore Shea butter. I came across an Irish lady on KZbin who shared her recipe for making a Shea butter whipped body cream, which uses all organic ingredients, those being : Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, vitamin E, aloe vera, essential oil. I absolutely love it and actually use it as my face/body cream every day, I'd never use shop brought creams again! Love your videos Heidi, I've learnt so much from you, God bless from England🙏 💜👋

[@kristif5009]

Sounds wonderful! What were the proportions?

[@GM-jv9jz]

[@WildAcreWood]

[@wardrobelion]

It’s nice to hear you speak about shea butter. It’s been used forever due to its healing and moisturizing properties. Thank you, Heidi.😊👍

[@basketballfan5763]

I remember when I suffered with bad circulation syndrome called Raynaud's syndrome an article came from the Raynaud's Society in Ireland telling me that shea butter was almost a cure for it when rubbed in around the Fingertips when they would go numb as they needed ultra-moisturising

[@PeaceNinja007]

Isn’t that where the skin begins hardening .. with scar tissue?

[@SupremeSwaggy]

This was the reason i started researching shea butter to see if anyone else had experience this! I thought it was working i was like 90% sure i just needed someone to validate this and articulate better than i could. This bad circulation syndrome only affects me when I don’t use shea butter. But i didnt know the proper name it was called but you described it perfectly. Thank you! Much love and understanding to you and yours!

[@bernadettedavid23]

I love Shea butter. I had no idea it was an anti inflammatory.

I haven’t made anything with shea butter, but while you were talking, I smoothed some of my face. I bought it last year, and it’s been sitting on the shelf. I’ll watch the comments on this one. Many Blessings!

[@tryitbuyitmakeitsellit]

She butter is my go to moisturizer in the winter. The yellow one is my favorite. I also have very thick hair and it's the only thing that keeps my hair moist. It's also great on my skin as I'm in the pre-menopausal and my skin tends to get dried out.

[@valerieescabi6104]

Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah hallelujah❤❤❤

[@victoriajohnson3034]

I started using the shae butter you recommended. Making my nails super strong!! Loving it. I just make it 50 percent shae 50 percent coconut oil.

[@memastarful]

I use it as a primer under my makeup after my moisturizer. I also use it as a sun protection. My hair loves it too it smoothes brittle dry hair

[@ghoulgoil5029]

It’s all I use as skin care. It’s super thick at first, now I just use a tiny amount warm up in my hands and spread! It’s wonderful.

Hola. Si, he hecho mi crema casera con manteca de karite y los resultados son muy buenos. Estoy muy contenta con ella. La uso en todo el cuerpo y ya veo resultados. He descubierto un tesoro. Además que esto te motiva a seguir aprendiendo y seguir haciendo mis propias cremas. Mi piel es seca y constantemente necesito hidratarla. He comprado y probado muchas cremas y el resultado es que te resecan más la piel. Por tanto seguiré adelante haciendo mis cremas. Me fascina este mundo creativo y útil para nuestra propia salud y bienestar. Muchas gracias.

I discovered shea butter years ago at a local farmer’s market and have been using it ever since. Thank you for sharing this information as I mistakenly thought the yellow color shea butter was from Turmeric being added to it.

[@samandskip1999]

I’ve been making my own shea/coconut oil balm (I add castor, vitE, bees wax & lavender essential oil) anywho I burned my self cooking recently and applied my balm to that burn and within 3 mins I had no pain and never got a blister 😳 my new go to for burns!!

Amazing Sheabutter…whenever a headache comes on, a light massage on my temples with Sheabutter Zappa off the ache!

[@akyena21]

Hi Heidi, Mary from Mary's Nest recommended you in one of her videos. Am loving your channel. Ohhh yes about adding it to nasal drops it could be true. One night i couldn't bear my stuffy nose so i just rubbed Shea butter on my nose. Oh my goodness, it relieved me asap. Hence when ever anyone in my family has a cold, i just rub a bit on their nose. In Ghana, if we want our babies to sleep well, just massage it them after their bath and you're good to go. Love from Ghana 😂🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

[@VsNorthwoodsHomestead]

I received white shea butter years ago and a friend of mine told me it wasn't pure because his was yellow. So, of course, I had to do some research! What I remember finding is that they use the root of the tree you mentioned to process the shea butter. Both are considered pure shea butter. I didn't, however, know about the anti-inflammatory benefits of it. So thank you for sharing!

[@zeemc2751]

Both are pure. Most people buy yellow. It's explained on another video on YT. 👍

[@jakelooter5139]

I have used shea butter numerous days in a row to actually stop Kava Kava caused dermatitis lesions mid edidermal lesion. it is unbelievable that it can take progressively cracking, wounding skin (biochemically induced intentionally not for that it is an undesired effect that is more tolerable than the reason for the dosing specifically) and heal it almost immediately. it immediately stops the formation of dermatitis lesions and then heals them progressively over the next few hours. have done this numerous times in the past, but am recounting now specifically and am in basically awe. Amazing biochemical profile on that Shea nut....Then again, the Sahel is quite inhospitable for life it would make sense any species that is common in such a biome would be exceptional! God Bless

[@waymakers_kid9904]

Thank you. I have Hashimotos with severe autoimmune issues. I’m going to try shea butter with my pure mineral powder makeup to make a cream foundation since I haven’t found anything else that Ivan use without headaches. I love your hair BTW. Mine is straight as a board. God bless you

[@Harmonylovess]

Great video! I use Shea butter it has soo many wonderful healing properties I wanted to add Cloth Diapers prevent diaper rashes and they are less expensive.

[@homesteadgamer1257]

I love shea butter. I got a tub of it a few months ago and I made some hand lotion and lip balm. It helps immensely with my eczema! It does feel a little greasy spreading it on, but it absorbs really well and doesn't feel greasy for long. I'm amazed there is so much good stuff in even just with topical use.

[@Ninafaye6611]

I got a gift of some shea butter mixed with magnesium for a natural alternative muscle rub.

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Thank you Heidi!🙂 Yes, I especially like shea butter on my hair. Grey hair gets really dry too. I've tried other butters or oils but they're too heavy or oily. I don't always blow-dry my hair but when I do, I put it on my wet hair before. I'm glad the link is here too because I forgot to put it in my computer favorites. Blessings!💜

[@brightmoon7132]

I struggled for years with very dry skin and hair before I found shea butter. I use the 100% natural with nothing else added and I use it straight, no other oils added. To me one of the very best things about shea is that it actually moisturizes without leaving me feeling like an oil slick. I'm no expert, but I think it must be because it is actually absorbed into the skin rather than just sitting on top of it. I learned some new things from your great video, thank you.

[@aynuraagayeva9817]

Really? I bought organic shea butter a while ago and ater some time hyt binned it. It is too oily/fatty and the skin doesn't absorb it. I can't imagine how people use it as body cream

My first exposure to shea butter was a massage therapist who used it instead of massage oil. Now I'm thinking a mix of shea & hops powder would make a nice rub for sore feet.

I have alot of it right here in Uganda and I am looking for buyers. It's purely organic and it's nilotica type which is proven the best in the world.

[@Wildevis]

A benefit of living in Africa is access to so many exotic butters, like Shea and Mango. I have heard Mango is actually better for skin as it is softer and more absorbent?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

What is best is going to be very individual. I have mango butter and do like it but find that shea butter works best for me, especially around my eyes. The mango butter irritates my eyes when I use it around that area but the shea butter does not

[@COWELLGIRL]

Shae butter is so beautiful

[@basketballfan5763]

I just checked the ingredients and some of my hand soaps in liquid dispensers and one called Simple has an ingredient towards the end called polyquaternium-7 which is carcinogenic apparently but allowed on an all natural supposed product. I certainly won't be buying it again and I probably will be leaving it for guests to use or throwing it in the bin. Obviously it was cheap. I usually buy handmade soap bars with shea butter and they last ages and I think I will just be going back to them and they are made locally. The safety study on polyquaternium-7 was sponsored by merck company and consisted of 24-Hour trials 7-day trials 14-day trials on animals which doesn't equate to anything in real life

Thanks, Heidi! Do you know if homemade hair and body products cause drains to clog more easily b/c of the oils? If yes, how do you keep your drains clear? Thx!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

It should not make much of a difference as it would absorb into your skin and every time you shower you are washing off your natural skin oils anyway. I have been doing this kind of thing for many years and because our family always has had a lot of hair, our drain would plug up often, now that it is just the two of us, even with all the natural oils and butters I use, it is far less often than it used to be back before I started using them

Two questions: how much vitamin A in shea butter and is there an essential I can mix with it to improve the smell?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I do not know the exact amount of each vitamin that any certain amount contains. I did not bother to look that up but I would assume one could find it if that was important. Yes, you can add essential oils or even just blend with other butters, oils, and beeswax to make a nice skin cream like I do.

I just received a tub of the shea butter that I ordered from HalalEveryday and as there is a discussion regarding rancidity I was wondering if you could refrigerate the unused portion to help keep it fresh longer?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yes, you can but I have never found it necessary. However, if you are in a pretty warm climate, it might not be a bad idea

[@GrungeGirl314]

The rancidity comes from fluctuation in temperature, so try to keep it where the temps are constant. I purchased the 5lb bag from Halal. I divided into 32oz jars (after using some) and keep in my cool/dry basement where the temp is pretty consistent.
