Crude oil isn’t what you’d expect to find in your haircare routine. Yet, for generations, unrefined Pennsylvania crude oil has been used as a natural remedy to support scalp health and promote stronger, shinier hair. Though it may sound unusual, this tradition—rooted in natural healing—continues to offer effective solutions for thinning, dryness, and buildup. Here’s the story behind this surprising treatment and why it remains relevant today.

What Is Crudoleum®?

Crudoleum is more than just a scalp treatment; it is a time-tested natural remedy made from 100% pure, unrefined Pennsylvania crude oil sourced directly from our own well. Often referred to as “sweet crude,” It is a naturally occurring oil that has been historically prized for its relatively low sulfur content and high quality. Rich in natural waxes, minerals, and earth-born compounds, this crude oil retains unique properties that have surprising results.

Our crude oil has a unmistakable, robust scent—earthy and smokey, with a distinct composition of minerals and organic material. The “sweet” nature of the crude means it’s not as pungent as other crude oils; however, its natural aroma could be less appealing to some.

For those who prefer a smoother application, the same trusted formula is also available in a convenient gel form called Nature’s Oleum® which is easier to handle, just as effective, and perfect for weekly use.

The History: Crude Oil as Scalp Therapy

The use of crude oil for scalp and hair care is part of a long-standing tradition. Long before crude oil powered industries, it was valued for its therapeutic properties. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, oil-based hair tonics and scalp treatments—such as Macassar oil—were widely used to condition hair and maintain scalp health. Crude oil’s natural waxes, minerals, and earth-born compounds made it uniquely effective for stimulating the scalp and encouraging stronger, fuller hair.

One of the most influential figures to popularize this natural remedy in modern times was Edgar Cayce, an American healer and spiritual teacher called the “father of holistic medicine.” Through a series of intuitive readings, Cayce recommended Crudoleum as a natural treatment to support scalp health, helping with thinning hair, and unhealthy scalp conditions. He believed that deeply cleansing the scalp with this crude oil helped remove buildup and toxins, improve circulation, and allow hair follicles to breathe and thrive.

Recent research, including Field Notes for Future Petropractices: Refiguring Oil and/as Media, has started to revisit the role of crude oil in traditional care practices. These articles point to a long-standing connection between crude oil and the body’s natural healing processes—especially through the scalp. In this context, using crude oil for scalp treatment isn’t a new idea, but a continuation of age-old methods that tap into the restorative power of the Earth’s raw materials.

Today, Crudoleum products are crafted to honor and continue these time-tested recommendations. By harnessing the pure, unrefined power of Pennsylvania crude oil, these products deliver the deep cleansing, scalp stimulation, and nourishment needed to restore vitality from the roots up.

The 6-Step Hair & Scalp Routine – With Crudoleum Scalp Treatment – # 9791

To get the most out of Crudoleum, Cayce recommended a full care system. Here’s how to use it:

Step 1: Apply Crudoleum Scalp Treatment to the scalp (about a capful) 3–4 times a month. Leave on for 30–45 minutes.

Step 2: Massage and rinse the scalp with Crudoleum Scalp Rinse.

Step 3: Shampoo with Olivae™ Shampoo for daily use.

Step 4: Condition with Olivae Conditioner to rehydrate.

Step 5: Lightly massage White Petroleum Jelly into the scalp to lock in moisture.

Step 6: Take Herbal Tonic 636, a Cayce-recommended iodine-rich tonic, for internal support.

Many users report a noticeable difference in scalp health, hair texture, and overall shine within the first month of use.

Why Summer Skincare Matters

Summer brings some of the highest sun exposure, and the combination of rising temperatures and increased outdoor activity can impact your skin in more ways than you might realize.

Steaming:

When steaming vegetables or fish, Patapar Paper seals in moisture but allows steam to circulate. This technique helps keep food moist and flavorful. It also preserves nutrients and essential vitamins and minerals, making it a healthier option than most cooking methods.

Boiling:

Parchment paper helps trap moisture and is especially useful for items like fish, chicken, or vegetables. The paper acts as a protective layer, which helps delicate foods retain their shape and prevent breaking apart during boiling.

Baking:

Patapar Paper is incredibly versatile—perfect for both savory and sweet dishes.

How Patapar® Paper Enhances the Taste of Your Food

Patapar Paper not only protects delicate ingredients during cooking, but also enhances the natural flavors of your food.

This makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to boost the nutritional value of a meal without compromising on flavor or freshness. You won’t need loads of butter, oil, or heavy seasoning, just pure, juicy goodness in every bite.

The Perfect Cooking Companion for Every Kitchen

Incredibly easy to use—whether you’re a seasoned chef or just love cooking at home, Patapar paper is quick, reliable, and saves you time in the kitchen. From perfectly steamed veggies to mess-free baking, Patapar Paper helps you cook with confidence and impress your guests.

Reusability:

Patapar® Paper is designed to withstand both heat and moisture, making it a reliable choice for a range of cooking methods—from steaming to baking. While it’s not meant for unlimited reuse, it can often be used multiple times, especially with low-grease or dry foods.

To maximize reusability:

• Cook at temperatures below 425°F (220°C).
• After use, rinse the paper clean and allow it to dry. This should take about 12 minutes.
• Store flat in a cool, dry place for later use.

With a little care, you can stretch the life of each sheet—and keep your kitchen running smoothly.

The colder months are just around the corner, bringing the promise of warm, cozy sweaters, bonfires, and hot cocoa. However, for those who struggle with psoriasis, the chilly weather can be a source of concern due to flare-ups. The good news is that there are natural solutions you can incorporate into your health routine. Baar Products is here to introduce you to a natural selection of psoriasis products that help address symptoms from the inside-out. Read on to learn more!

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is described as an autoimmune condition that leads to the rapid growth of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, scaly patches on the skin’s surface. These patches can be itchy and sometimes painful. The condition can affect various areas of the body, including the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Psoriasis flare-ups can be triggered by stress, infections, injuries, or certain medications. These symptoms tend to get worse when it gets colder due to the air’s lack of moisture and reduced exposure to sunlight.

Dr. John Pagano, author of Healing Psoriasis, states “What one sees on the outside is the physical evidence of something happening inside the body. One can treat outside, but the disease will keep coming back again and again, month after month, year after year, until the patient has exhausted all available avenues of relief. Is it possible for a victim to be free from a lifetime of pain…? The answer is an unequivocal yes!”

The Intestinal Connection

According to theories advanced by Cayce, the source is found in the intestinal tract. For psoriasis to occur, the walls in certain areas of the intestinal tract must become thin and porous. When this happens, toxic substances that should normally pass through the intestines and eventually be eliminated by the body seep through these walls, enter the lymphatic system and invade the bloodstream, also known as leaky gut. It may take some time, but sooner or later the accumulation of toxins will prove to be more than the (liver and kidney) organs can effectively handle.” Dr. John Pagano, Healing Psoriasis.

How to Manage Winter Flare-Ups with Baar Products

What better place to begin the healing process than by addressing symptoms from the inside-out.

American Saffron Tea

American Saffron (Carthamus tinctorius) is known for its traditional herbal benefits, including its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties. When taken as a soothing cup of tea, American Saffron contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation, which can be beneficial for managing psoriasis flare-ups. Its herbal properties are known to be beneficial as a kidney and liver flush and for its cleansing support of the intestinal tract.*

Slippery Elm Bark Powder

Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) has a rich history in herbal medicine, particularly in both Native American and traditional Chinese practices. The inner bark is known for its soothing properties, primarily due to its high mucilage content, which can help coat and protect mucous membranes. It is also known for soothing gastrointestinal irritation and providing relief for inflammation.*

Psoriasis Scalp & Body Wash

Our Scalp & Body Wash has been specifically formulated to calm symptoms of psoriasis. Its herbal blend of ingredients is known for helping to relieve redness, flaking and itching while promoting skin recovery. Psoriasis Medicated Scalp & Body Wash can aid in maintaining moisture, helping to alleviate dryness and flaking associated with psoriasis.

Psoriasis Cream

We’ve mentioned that colder months bring dry air, but it can also bring dry skin. Moisturizing is extremely important during the winter. Your skin can suffer a lot without moisture in the air to cling to. Baar’s Psoriasis Cream contains ingredients that help maintain moisture, alleviating dryness and flaking associated with psoriasis.

Consider a Holistic Approach

Dealing with psoriasis can be challenging, and sometimes traditional treatments don’t provide relief. Finding the right products to help alleviate symptoms can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, we provide a Psoriasis Care Kit that features a range of products to help you find what works best for you. This kit features soothing skincare and herbal supplements. It’s a great opportunity to explore options that could lead you toward a psoriasis-free lifestyle.

Other Things to Keep in Mind in Dealing with Psoriasis

Managing psoriasis can be simpler than you might expect. There are several lifestyle changes you can adopt to help reduce the frustration and pain of flare-ups. Staying hydrated and making smart food choices are key. During the winter months, it’s common to stay indoors and stray from a nutritious diet, so try to limit processed foods and drink plenty of water. Additionally, wearing soft, breathable fabrics, taking a warm bath with soothing oils, and using a humidifier in your home can help soothe and hydrate your skin. Always consult a healthcare provider for the best treatment options tailored to your needs.
