Cellulite - the complementary subject to stretch marks. Cellulite, common in American females today mainly due to poor diet and lifestyle, is a fatty deposit which causes an unsightly dimpled and/or uneven appearance in the buttocks, thighs, and the upper and mid leg area.
 Cellulite is more common in females than males because cellulite occurs in areas that are fatty reserve area on the female body which include the buttocks and thighs.
The little pockets constituting cellulite are nothing but little bags under the skin that are holding fluid waste of the major female fatty reserve areas - the buttocks and thighs.
The five fatty reserve areas of the female body are:
Breasts
Belly
Buttocks
Thighs
Back arms (upper)
The major causes of cellulite is a combination of (1) improper diet, (2) insufficient exercise (or movement), (3) poor elimination, and (4) blocked creativity, metaphysically speaking.
DIET (Improper diet)
By far, nothing contributes more to cellulite than the consumption of sugar, dairy products (processed cow snot/mucus/pus), meat (cooked animal cadaver) and refined grains and starches.
Because I have a plethora of articles that cover the effects of sugar, dairy, meat, and refined grains and sugar, I won't go into detail about all of these.
However, in my personal view, I would have to say that dairy products would have to be the most pivotal factor in the development in cellulite, dietary-wise. American females love cheese, sour cream, yogurt, butter, ice cream, and whipped cream. Dairy products come from cow snot/pus/mucus!
Sugar (man-made sugar) is also a major contributor in cellulite because the body converts excess sugar into fat and if the fat is not burned off due to exercise and/or movement, then the body stores it in one or more of the female fatty reserves listed supra.
LIFESTYLE (Insufficient movement/exercise)
A sedentary lifestyle is very conducive to cellulite development. A female who maintains a poor diet and who is simultaneously sedentary and/or idle unknowingly asks for cellulite. Movement and/or exercise is critical in preventing or eradicating cellulite because the body burns fat for fuel or energy. But you have to move or be active to burn that fuel. If not, then it simply stores and eventually begins to affect your health and in areas that females are generally very self conscious about - breasts, buttocks, and thighs.
Most of your sedentary females work corporate jobs that require a lot of sitting down (for purposes of answering phones, typing, paperwork, etc.).
It also doesn't help a female is she wears a lot of tight clothing (especially pants) which impairs bodily circulation, especially of the lymph fluid.
POOR ELIMINATION (clogged eliminative channels)
Poor elimination (of fecal matter, fluidic toxic wastes, etc.) is another major player in the development of cellulite. Cellulite is a sign that a female has poor elimination. Poor elimination is the result of the major eliminative channels (colon, kidneys, lungs, and liver) being clogged, sluggish, or almost completely shut down; so instead of the waste being excreted from the body, it stays in the body and ends up in one or more of the fatty reserve areas of the body for waste storage purposes.
BLOCKED CREATIVITY
Cellulite, like all other diseases and disorders, has metaphysical causative factors existing on the emotional and mental levels. Metaphysically speaking, cellulite denotes an accumulation of ideas (stored ideas) stemming from a block of creativity. This is generally the case in females who are the victims (participants) of Third Chakra (Solar Plexus) negative qualities such as poor self-esteem, poor self-image, lack of drive or ambition, poor will-power, which result in lack of confidence to express their creativity.
Cellulite may also indicate a subconscious need to control others, especially those close to you (and without them noticing your need to control them).
Toxic emotions and negative thoughts collect and store in the tissues of the body and when these particular or specific emotions and thoughts pertain to your femininity or woman-ness, how you view yourself and feel about yourself as a female/woman, and/or your female reproductive system or certain organs, these emotions and thoughts will usually store and collect in the female reproductive areas as well as female embellishment sites and begin to affect your health and manifest in outward disease, including cellulite.
You see, the diet aspect of disease is connected to the emotional and mental causative effect of disease. Emotions play a major part in what you decide to eat based upon how you feel. Many people eat a lot of "junk" because they literally feel like junk ("feeling like shit") and you are what you eat, think, and feel. This is more especially true for females than males due to the fact that females are more emotional than males and thus more emotionally in tune with themselves (sensitive).
We link emotions or feelings to food (how food taste) for a reason. People can be "sweet," "bitter," "salty," "acerbic," or "sour" about things in life; but these same things can describe certain tastes about food and beverage. So you see, emotions and tastes go hand and hand and they usually affect each other to some degree.
HEALING
Healing always begins in the mind. Therefore, a sick or unhealthy person should always begin to see themselves in a healthy or desired light or fashion in their mind. They should visualize the desired goal or state of health in their mind on a consistent basis. They must learn to see themselves in the state they desire. What you visualize will eventually materialize - guaranteed! I call this approach to healing 'Imaginative Therapy' and utilize it all the time (and for more than health purposes).
In addition to the above, a female/woman should forgive herself (in all areas of life requiring forgiveness, which is usually for things said or done unto her from others in the past). After forgiving herself, she should learn to love herself. There is no healing absent love and forgiveness.
 Next up, she should radically modify her diet. A vegan diet is best, buttressed with stints of consuming raw foods. Remember, it is consuming all the dairy, meat, refined grains and starches and refined sugars in the first place that causes the cellulite and other diseases and problems. Therefore, the female serious about reclaiming her health should really give thought to eliminating meat, dairy, refined grains, starches, and sugar (and processed so-called foods) from her diet and eating more organic and whole fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and whole grains.
She should also start to drink large amounts of water too so as to flush out her system. Eight glass of water per day will suffice or drinking her weight cut in half in ounces. Basically, if she weighs 220 pounds, she would cut this number in half (= 110) and should put "oz" (ounces) behind this number (110 oz) and drink this number in water daily (which would be almost one gallon as 128 ounces equals one gallon).
I can't emphasize detoxifying the body enough. Detoxifying the whole body will greatly cleanse and flush out the body which will perform profound miracles of healing. Dherbs.com Full Body Detox is the ideal detoxifying kit I recommend, not because I manufacture and distribute it, but because it is very effective in cleansing the body and thus aiding the natural healing process of the body.
After performing the Full Body Detox, I highly recommend for the woman desiring to lose weight to undergo our Weight Release Cleanse and Regimen followed by our Total Woman Cleanse.
I guarantee any female who performs these three regimens (Full Body Detox, Weight Release, and Total Woman Cleanse) will most definitely see and feel the change in her body and appearance (especially her weight).
And to correct poor elimination, I recommend the following herbs:
Colon (for purposes of defecation): Senna leaves and pods, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe Vera resin, Buckthorn, Trifala, Bibitaki, Bilwa, Rhubarb, Mandrake, and Jalap Root. Dherbs.Com offer three (3) effective colon cleansing formulas: Bowel Mover, Sen-Fen, and Colon Formula.
Kidneys (for purposes of urination): Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, Cornsilk, Gravel Root (Queen of the Meadow); Pelitory of the Wall, Cleavers, Buchu, Water Eryngo, Devil's Claw, Nettle, Horsetail, and Cranberry. Dherbs.Com offers a very effective Kidneys-Bladder and Adrenal.
Essential oil (Aromatherapy) is also very helpful in eradication of cellulite. Increasing circulation in areas where cellulite accumulates is essential for breaking up fatty deposits. A special massage utilize essential oils can be performed. The massage increases blood flow to the problem area. Essential oils such as Juniper Berry, Grapefruit Peel, Celery Seed, Fennel Seed, Cypress, and Eucalyptus penetrate the skin to stimulate the release of fluids that can cause cellulite build up.
Apply the oil (or Dherbs.Com Cellulite Oil) and then brushing the skin gently with a loofah or body brush.
Additional essential oils helpful for cellulite include: Angelica, Birch, Cinnamon Leaf (never use the bark on the skin); Cistus, Rose Geranium, Lemon, and Rosemary.
If a woman has a good man, he (or even a good female friend) can place wet seaweed strips or patches over the cellulite area (allowing them to remain on the area for about an hour). This process (if done before the cellulite massage) will greatly help eradicate cellulite. This process can be done once a week or every two weeks.
I can't forget about having enemas and colonics performed. These processes are very critical to not just removing cellulite, but overall health. Good health begins in the colon.
Lastly, consider giving up tight clothing, especially tight pants. The entire body is a breathing mechanism and requires breathing. Therefore, loose clothing (such as dresses and skirts) is ideal, especially for feminine health.
