Castor Oil Packs

Castor oil packs are known to enhance circulation and promote healing of the tissues and organs underneath the skin.  They have traditionally been used to aid in cases with inflammation, pain, growths or when increased circulation was desired.

From a fertility standpoint it supports the following:

• Ovarian health
• Fallopian tube health
• Uterine health
• Detoxifying before conception
• Supports egg health

Castor oil packs stimulate 3 important parts of the body: lymphatic and circulatory systems and the liver.  The stimulation of these body systems aids the body in healing the organs and tissues beneath where the castor oil pack is applied.

It is important that you buy cold-pressed castor oil, not the stuff that you buy at your supermarket.  I purchase it at my herb/supplement store.

I lay on an old towel on the floor.  Then take a cloth (best if it is organic material) and put the castor oil on it.  Everything that I read is that castor oil can stain anything it touches so you have to make sure you are careful with it.  After you have the cloth with the oil on it you place that on your abdomen area.  Then I take a small piece of plasic (I use the small trashbags you can buy at the store) put that over the cloth so your heating pad doesn't get stained.  Place the heating pad on top of it and then another towel just to make sure you don't get it on anything.

I do this 4 - 6 times a week for an hour each time.  After I am done I just take a quick shower so that I don't get the oil on anything.

This is a picture of everything that I use.  I just keep the cloth in a ziploc bag so that it can be reused, they say it can be reused for up to 6 months.  I just apply a little more castor oil each use.
