How to Make and Use a Castor Oil Pack
Castor oil has been used for centuries as an ancient remedy. Today, it is used by many to help improve gut health, detoxification, the immune system, and so much more. Find out how to use and make a castor oil pack to promote overall health and wellness.
Materials
- 1 bottle of organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil preferably in glass
- 1 large piece of dye-free, unbleached wool or cotton fabric preferably organic
- 1 heating pad or heated water bottle
- 1 old towel
- 1 glass container with lid for storing castor oil pack
Instructions
- Apply a couple tablespoons of castor oil at a time to fabric and let saturate. You want it well saturated, but not soaking. You can also apply some castor oil directly on the area you are treating.
- Place fabric over treatment area. For the liver, place just below rib cage on your right side. Can also be placed over abdomen, ovaries, injuries, etc..
- Cover saturated fabric with an old towel you don't mind staining.
- Cover towel with a heating pad or hot water bottle and sit back or lay down.
- Relax and stay hydrated. Apply castor oil pack for 20 minutes to start and the more you do them you can work your way up to 1 hour, 2 hours, and even overnight.
- Remove Castor oil pack and clean the skin with soap and water. Place fabric into glass container with lid and store in refrigerator. Can be reused 30-40 times. Add a little more castor oil to fabric each time.
Notes
*Castor oil is very sticky and will stain. I recommend laying an old sheet or towel down before performing treatment. Wear clothes you don't mind staining.
*Do not perform castor oil pack if pregnant or during menstruation.
