Castor Oil Healing Packs

CASTOR OIL HEALING PACK

Castor oil comes from the plant Ricinus communis, also called the castor plant

Castor oil has many health benefits including being a natural moisturizer, laxative, as well as having powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Using a castor oil pack placed directly on the skin can produce many health benefits

Benefits of Castor Oil Packs

How to apply a castor oil pack

• Saturate a small piece of cloth with castor oil
• Place over your liver (or area of interest – abdomen, lungs, etc)
• Wear an old t-shirt or wrap with an ace bandage
• Apply hot water bottle to the pack area
• Sit or lay down, relaxing for 45 minutes to 1 hour (safe to wear for a few hours overnight as well)

Apply castor oil packs 2-3 times per week for general detoxification. A castor oil pack can also be beneficial before an enema, colonic, or liver/gallbladder flush; during chelation treatment; menstrual cramps; abdominal pain; in addition to visceral massage (viscera: The soft internal organs of the body, especially those contained within the abdominal and thoracic cavities)
