Ricinoleic acid in this oil targets lymphatic drainage to cleanse away toxins from your body and supports thyroid functioning for improved function and reduced nodules and cysts.
How to Use
Fans of natural health have long utilized castor oil as an effective healing agent, beloved by TCM, Ayurveda, and Naturopathy practitioners as a powerful way to stimulate healing and increase lymphatic drainage. Furthermore, studies have also shown it reduces inflammation while aiding elimination, especially during menstruation cycles. A castor oil pack is an easy self-care practice requiring no special equipment.
Heritage Store Castor oil meets these criteria, while Womb Care Castor Oil Wrap contains everything needed for effective treatment and comfort.
Before beginning a castor oil treatment, it’s essential to make your environment as safe as possible, as any direct exposure could potentially stain surfaces. Wear clothes you are comfortable getting stained while placing down an additional towel or blanket your pack can cover for further protection.
Fill a bowl with enough castor oil to fully submerge a cotton or wool flannel cloth using tongs or your hands until it becomes saturated with oil. Please remove it from the oil, pat it dry with a paper towel, and repeat this process with all other pieces.
Once the cloth is wet, place it over your liver area (located just under the right rib cage) and secure it with either its castor oil pack holder, sheet, robe, or an additional sheet or blanket. Add heat with an electric heating pad or hot water bottle on top if desired; then lie back and relax for one hour.
At the end of an hour, remove the pack and wipe down the area with a warm, damp towel. You may wish to shower immediately afterward to rinse any castor oil residue off your skin.
Acupuncture can be an excellent addition to any wellness regime, especially during menstruation, as it helps reduce cramping and soreness. Regular massage therapy sessions and herbal support may also prove helpful in aiding self-care efforts. This treatment can provide numerous health benefits.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is our body’s natural detoxification process. Acting like the sewer system of our bodies, lymphatic drainage brings all kinds of waste (toxins, infection debris, metals, and dead cells) from cells to the liver for filtering before being taken through to the colon for disposal. When the lymphatic system fails, toxins build up, leading to health conditions like autoimmune disease, infertility, poor bowel movements, food sensitivities, joint pain, chronic fatigue, mood swings, and more – making castor oil packs an easy, safe, and effective way of stimulating lymph fluid circulation.
Edgar Cayce’s readings recommend using castor oil packs as part of a detoxification protocol to aid with assimilation, elimination, circulation, and breaking up adhesions in the lymphatic system (including the urethra). This therapy remains one of the oldest detox therapies still recommended today for treating an array of health issues, including but not limited to:
Castor oil packs can be applied to virtually any area of the body – most frequently around the abdomen from ribcage to pelvic bones; around liver for hepatitis, gallbladder or thyroid for autoimmune conditions; on ovaries/uterus for irregular periods, cysts/fibroids or low fertility; or to break up internal scar tissue that could be contributing to irregular periods, rare ovarian cysts/fibroids/low fertility or irregular menstruation cycles for women who have lost their period; help clear uterine fibroids/ovarian cysts/fibroids/endometriosis/improve fertility; break up stagnant blood to prevent infertility.
Our Castor oil pack kit features a pre-warmed cotton flannel cloth designed to be used with a heating source, making the treatment comfortable and relaxing for 30 to an hour. If desired, direct application of castor oil directly on the skin may also be made, provided a clean cotton cloth is used to avoid staining clothes or bedsheets. To create a castor oil pack, you mix organic extra virgin castor oil into the cotton flannel cloth, wrap it around an area of the body, cover it with plastic or old toweling before using a heating pad or hot water bottle heating source, and relax a – this treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes at most to complete.
Back Pain
A practical solution for relieving back pain is using a castor oil pack. They’re convenient, affordable, and easy to use at home – offering relief by increasing circulation, soothing muscles, and relieving tension.
Castor Oil packs also help stimulate the lymphatic system to flush toxins from your system, making a noticeable impactful statement about their benefits for liver, kidneys, and digestive tract health. They’re especially great during menstruation to ease period cramps while supporting reproductive system health.
Castor oil packs should ideally be performed before bed to allow their beneficial oils to seep into your system while you rest and prepare the body for restful slumber.
Before beginning, ensure a comfortable space where you can lie down. Since caster oil may stain clothes and sheets, wear old ones or make the same ones your go-to every time (preferably wearing the same clothing each time). Create an oasis with blankets, pillows, and books as comfort items – perfect for relaxing self-care rituals over a weekend morning or evening! This ritual should take up no more than an hour – ideal for relaxing weekend morning or evening routines!
Start by taking a piece of plastic trash bag or Saran wrap, soaking it with castor oil, then placing the cloth over the area to be treated and covering it with another piece of plastic. Set a hot water bottle over both pieces of plastic for 45-60 minutes for optimal results.
Castor oil’s fatty acids help soften muscles and joints, making movement more fluid. Furthermore, its effects help promote blood flow to tissues and organs and increase elasticity – so much so that practitioners of TCM, Ayurveda, and Naturopathy use it for treating various health concerns!
Castor oil packs often relieve abdominal, joint, and muscle pain and promote detoxification. They’re an effective way to manage arthritis pain and inflammation, chronic sinusitis symptoms, yeast infections, or menstrual cramps.
Joint Pain
Castor oil packs offer a quick, straightforward solution for joint pain caused by arthritis, fibromyalgia, or other chronic conditions like lupus. Their anti-inflammatory and lubricating properties ease joint movement while increasing blood flow to affected areas for faster healing and reduced inflammation.
To create a castor oil pack, pour some hexane-free castor oil (such as this one from Wildish) into a glass jar large enough for you to soak a piece of cotton flannel cloth in it and soak it thoroughly with castor oil before placing it onto your body with plastic wrap or trash bag protection (an old towel will work just as well if available) for leakage protection and use a heating pad or hot water bottle as heat sources over it; allow to remain on for up to an hour depending on its effectiveness for treating conditions related to that condition being treated.
Castor oil packs can help ease pelvic conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, constipation, bloating, and pain associated with menstrual cramps. It can significantly ease abdominal discomfort from digestive problems as increasing lymph circulation improves digestion while detoxifying the liver and gall bladder. Detoxification helps improve detoxification processes and lower inflammatory reactions.
Castor oil penetrates deep into tissues to break down adhesions and scar tissue while stimulating lymphatic flow, as well as lubricate tissues to ease the movement of joints, promote cell regeneration, and lubricate joints, allowing more excellent range of motion.
Our Castor oil pack kit includes organic flannel fabric and hexane-free castor oil to get the job done right!
