Castor Oil Packing

Castor Oil Packing

One of my favorite ways of detoxing naturally would have to be using Castor Oil packs.

There are many benefits of this form of detox:

1. Decrease in menstrual cramping

2. Helps to promote weight loss

3. Acts as a natural laxative for those dealing with constipation

4. Helps heal the gut and stomach

5. Helps drain and guide lymphatic fluid

My personal experience:

• I’ve struggled with severe menstrual cramps since my teenage years, which led me to seek solutions to end this long-standing pain. After discovering oil packing, I decided to give it a try. The changes weren’t immediate; it took about a month to notice any difference. Initially, my cramps became even more intense than before, but I stayed consistent. By my next period, I experienced very little pain, and now I hardly ever have cramps. I can travel and be physically active with ease, which is incredible for me, as I used to be bedridden, unable to move, and even pass out during my periods.

How to Do an Oil Pack:

1. Gather your supplies

   • An organic cloth large enough to cover your abdomen

   • Organic cold-pressed Castor oil

   • A heat source (heating pad, hot water bottle, etc.)

   • Plastic wrap or a silicone wrap

   • A blanket or thick towel

2. Instructions:

   1. Apply 1-2 tablespoons of Castor oil to the organic cloth, ensuring it’s well-saturated where it will touch your abdomen.

   2. Find a comfortable, relaxing place to lie down, then place the cloth on your bare stomach.

   3. Cover the cloth with plastic wrap or a silicone wrap to prevent oil from staining your belongings.

   4. Place your chosen heat source on top of the wrapped cloth.

   5. Add a blanket over the heat source to help retain the heat for longer.

   6. Relax in this position for 30-60 minutes.

For best results, repeat this process 1-2 times per week. For even better benefits, you can try 3-4 times per week!

Tip: After each use, store your saturated cloth in a Ziploc bag in the fridge and reuse it for up to a month!
