Bloom of Youth was co-founded by Rachel and her son, Jad, during a deeply personal and transformative chapter of their lives. Jad had left home to serve a two-year mission, but returned early after becoming unwell. What followed was a challenging season marked by profound fatigue, hormonal imbalance, low thyroid function, hair thinning, and emotional exhaustion. It was a time that tested both body and spirit.

Through prayer, research, and unwavering determination, Rachel began exploring gentle, nature-based wellness practices. During that journey, she discovered castor oil — a traditional remedy that had been used for generations as part of holistic self-care routines. When thoughtfully incorporated into Jad’s daily wellness rituals, castor oil became a meaningful part of his path toward renewed balance, strength, and vitality.
