Oil pulling with a large tbsp of organic unrefined virgin coconut oil every morning for 20 mins has really helped reduce my cellulite, I still have the stubborn cellulite but I'm trying to drink more water. Some people oil pull 3 times a day, I will see how I go and might try it 3 times a day :)
Collagen, Gotu Kola

Hi there,
I had very bad cellulite on my stomach legs, thighs, buttocks and arms, this made me very depressed. I take 2 large tbs of powder collagen supplements, I should take another 2 tbs at night but I get lazy. I also take 2 capsules of 475mg of Gotu Kola in the morning. And I use a sulux wash cloth in the shower which is supposed to help with cellulite. My cellulite is 90% gone, I feel much better about it and can wear shorts again, the cellulite on my arms and stomach are gone. I'm also going to try and eat healthier and exercise maybe that will completely get rid of it from my legs.
Good luck, everyone.
Coconut, Grapefruit and Castor Oils

Coconut Oil, Castor Oil and Grapefruit essential oil mix for Cellulite.
I read about this on another web site and tried, today is the 5th day and I'm happy to report that very bad cellulite on my upper legs reduced significantly.
Here's what I do, mix about 1 tbs each of Coconut Oil and Castor Oil and 5 drops of Grapefruit essential oil in a glass jar.
Take a teaspoon of the mix in my hand and rub my hands together to melt coconut and create heat since castor oil works best with heat. Then massage wherever is needed, fast to create heat.
I did this morning and at night, twice a day.

Cellulite, Stretch Marks and Wrinkles
Mix olive oil with vitamin E , Vitamin A, coconut oil and aloe vera gel. Mix in blender. This prevents stretch marks as well as wrinkles and does not break out the skin. Keep it on your face and skin as often as possible. It does not leave oily residue and it feels wonderful. It works well.

Baking soda if scrubbed on the skin helps to remove any toxins and dead skin.

Hi - I'm late to this discussion but goose bumps on skin might be keratosis pilaris. This is to the person from Alsace, France. Maybe this is why you have no results.

How much borax and Epsom salt? Pour directly in bath water?? How has it been for you? Thanks for the help!

Coconut oil will clog your pores. Its not great for the face. Try hazelnut, jojoba or sunflower oil. And you can mix in a little tea tree or lavendar essential oils for the bacteria.
Cut Carbs

In Spanish, the word for describing the dimples in your tighs is celulitis too. It's a consequence of eating simply carbs like bread, pasta, rice and potatos. As soon as you avoid those, like 72 hours laters you start to see a great improvement in that condition. I have learned that eliminating those from my diet, I immediatly start losing weight, improving my mental clarity, stop and release water retention, etc. I really believe our organisms are not meant to digest grains. They all come with a hard shell that we have to get rid of (bran) or soaked them in water before cooking them, like beans and chick peas. It's nature trying to tell us something here? In the wild no animal eat them, they eat other species or plants. Those are my conclusions.
Zeolite

I've had cellulite on my buttocks pretty much all my life, even though I'm quite thin. Wasn't too worried about it. Started on powdered zeolite a couple of weeks ago for an overall detox and was pretty surprised to note a dramatic reduction in cellulite in my problem area. Zeolite helps remove toxins from the body and I've read that cellulite is little more than trapped toxins, so it makes sense. Very pleased with the progress and look forward to the results getting even better with time.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Maeryn (Calgary, Ab, Canada) on 09/15/2011
I am allergic to apple juice. Have been since I was a baby, so there is no getting around it. Doesn't matter if it is organic or not, I still get a rash at the base of my neck. (the allergy is very bizzare because I can eat apples without a problem and juice them at home) I used diluted ACV on my face. It really helps to close the pores on my nose, but it seemed to make my forehead more inflammed. I have combo skin. Dry cheeks and oily t-zone.
For cellulite, would I ingest the acv, or rub it on alternately with coconut oil?

I never really had cellulite, until after having my baby by C-section birth. It was mainly on my stomach. I started putting distilled white vinegar on my stomach everyday. After a few months the "ugly skin" was gone.
Apple Cider Vinegar

To Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France - I agree that the words cellulitis and cellulite are very similar and that can be quite confusing. However, any word ending in "itis" means inflammation, I. E. , bronchitis, arthritis, tonsililitis. Cellulitis is a severe inflammation of the cells (derma) brought on by bacteria that needs immediate medical attention. Hope this helps clear up the confusion. I always enjoy your informative posts and book reviews.

Sorry but I think that you missed my point, Linda. I was not talking about the difference between both problems, at least that wasn't my main goal, my question was whether it was wise to have two very different problems with almost similar names which will provoke a lot of confusion! To make things worse at least in Dutch Cellulite is called Cellulitis and that can't be changed as I believe that Cellulite /Cellulitis was here long before Cellulitis as an illness appeared (at least I had never heard of it till recently). I just don't manage to believe how the two problems got to have such similar names, after all there are so many names to chose from when you name an illness.... As someone else said here recently she two got confused the first time she heard the word Cellulitis!

Anything with the word itis at the end usually mean "inflammation". Vitamin C in mega doses usually will clear up an infection.

Cellulite is when your thighs look dimpley caused by fat under the skin. Cellulitis is a deep skin infection.

I am sorry but I still find cellulitis and cellulite very confusing! Do you have the goose bumps on your legs women suffer from nowadays or the more complicated illness which is not related in the least? I mixed up both names a while ago and now I have found the explanation for that. Well, two explanations, not only both names are very similar but on the top of that, in Dutch, cellulite is often referred to as cellulitis. As I speak Dutch when I lived there I always heard people talking about cellulitis and read quite a bit about it as I happen to have quite a bit on my legs. Now I don't live there anymore I had completely forgotten about the word till I read it on this site and immediately connected it to the under skin problem, not to something more complicated.
My question is, is it wise to have two conditions with such similar names? And on the top of everything else have an illness with a name which is exactly the same as a skin problem in another language. This will lead to a lot of confusion! Therefore I couldn't understand why a lady here was so worried about her cellulitis..... well, she didn't mean an unsightly problem but a severe illness but how is one to know? Weird to say the least.....

Rebounding, Dry Skin Brushing
Posted by Mel (Los Angeles, Ca) on 01/21/2011

Rebounding on a mini trapoline and dry skin brushing with a natural bristle body brush before showering has significantly reduced my cellulite. By dry brushing and rebounding, the toxins that are build up are broken down and the lympathic system is cleaned out hence the elimination of cellulite. Must do for at least two weeks to see results. Good Luck!
Zeolite

I have suffered from cellulite since I was 15 years old. Have tried alkaline/raw/elimination diets, creams, oils, fasting, endermologie (works temporarily), no caffeine, ACV, colonics, lymphatic massage and nothing really seemed to work as a "cure". My cellulite is of the hard kind, I am an athlete and found it impossible to get those few small dimples to budge from my legs. I always knew that cellulite contained toxins and tried various methods of juicing and purging to hopefully eliminate them, much to my chagrin. By chance, I started reading up on Zeolite, which is similar to Bentonite, for its detoxing abilities, and started a protocol to try to reduce my bodies toxic load before getting pregnant. After about a month, I was just stunned to see that my cellulite was disappearing, and at that point I had just given up on caring about it anymore.
--------------
Update: 12 months later, my cellulite is the best it has ever been since I did the detox before getting pregnant, and this is the 9th month. Women around the world complain that pregnancy makes their cellulite worse. I think that Zeolite detox protocol can have amazing long term results for hard cellulite. Hard cellulite is not subcuntaneous and needs a targeted protocol that can penetrate deep within to remove the underlying toxins. I was also using an infrared sauna and drinking lots of Penta water to aid the flush. I would also assume that for cases worse than mine, using an ultrasound method of fat liquidation, like Dermasonic or Lipo Ex would further assist in the process. Rock on
Coffee Grounds

Coffee is the ultimate weapon against cellulite!
I am 18 years old and due to a small weight gain i noticed i was getting cellulite on my legs. Ive always had some but its gotten alot more visible. I hated wearing shorts and skirts that showed my legs. So one day i read about using used coffee grounds on your cellulite trouble spots. I decided to give it a try i had nothing to lose except cellulite. So i took the used coffee grounds from my coffee maker mixed it with lotion to give it a consistency that will make the coffee cling to my legs. You can also use oils such as coconut oil or olive oil. Whatever floats your boat. (: I applied it, left it on for about 10 mins and then massaged my legs (with the coffee still on them), rinsed it off, looked in the mirror and instantly the skin on my legs looked "firmer" and there was alot less cellulite "indents" hah. It absolutely works. However remember, the appearance of cellulite can be reduced for a certain time period. It does come back eventually. I suggest do the coffee treatment 2 or 3 times a week. Do not overdo it especially if you have sensitive skin because you will break out in little red spots, nothing too serious however. Goes away with a little application of ACV or on its own in a few days. Combine with exercise and overall reduction of body fat (if necessary) and you will have the smooth even looking legs every female wants.
Coconut Oil

Organic coconut oil and dry brushing which is very popular in Europe for circulation and for eliminating cellulite. I have a nice brush with a handle on it that I purchased from the spa. My massuese mentioned to me you always brush in the direction of the lymphatic system so that it can circulate it out of the system quickly also increase you water intake before beginning the dry brush massage this help the system elminate toxin. For problem areas I used to spend at least ten minutes total and followed by a hot shower and I step out of the hot shower and while my pores are still open I put coconut oil all over my body and have noticed a dramatic decrease very close to eliminating all the cellulite. So it does work.

I have found that the what works best for me is to massage my thighs using pressure and kneading motion for about 10 minutes on each thigh. You can use an intense moisturizer or the best that I've found contains seaweed extract in it, it's contents seem to help firm the skin. Do this everyday it will help break up the cellulite to give you a smoother look.
I have also done research and experimented on myself the use of caffeine (coffee grounds) on my thighs and you can almost see an instant result. I moistened the regular coffee grounds, then applied them all over my thighs. Next I massaged for about 5 min each thigh and reapplied so my thighs were covered. I wrapped my legs with cling wrap and placed warm towels around my legs and kept doing so for about 10 minutes. The caffeine tightens your skin almost instantly however this method needs to be repeated hourly it's more for an instant effect.
