Castor oil, pressed from the castor seed, is a beautiful oil that has been used for thousands of years as a remedy for a large range of ailments. It is extremely high in ricinoleic acid, which is thought to be responsible for its health promoting benefits.
Castor oil is antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-fungal. It has been described as the oil that heals. Nutritious in its nature, castor oil is used to clear obstructions from the body and stimulates the liver to detoxify poisons in the system.

Benefits
See our Blog for all uses and benefits
The high amounts of natural fatty-acids and Vitamin E make Castor Oil a popular moisturiser and skin softener.
Castor oil is best used on those with dry or flaky scalps and brittle hair (it is an oil, so it might be overkill for use on those who already have oily hair). There's also anecdotal evidence to suggest it can be effective on the eyelashes and eyebrows.
Castor has been used to treat a range of medical conditions, most notably digestive issues.
Castor oil is broken down into ricinoleic acid in the small intestine. This speeds up the process of digestion.
Castor oil and ricinoleic acid are thought to increase absorption in the skin and are sometimes used in the treatment of various skin conditions, including dermatosis, psoriasis, and acne.
Uses
- Castor oil pack wrap enhance liver detoxification and colon cleansing, helping with digestion and constipation. It also improves blood circulation, which improves your sleep quality and physical condition.
-
Pain relief and the reduction of inflammation - In modern medicine, drugs are widely prescribed to help combat pain and inflammation, despite evidence indicating their potential to adversely affect the digestive tract and hinder the ability of joint tissues to heal and repair. Castor oil can be used as a safer alternative, with topical application of it shown to be highly effective.
-
Detoxification and improved liver function - Castor oil can also be effective in supporting detoxification and liver function. One theory suggests that this efficacy is due to its emission of white light, which is believed to penetrate deep into the tissues, and stimulate cellular energy to reduce congestion and the stagnation of fluids.
Directions
Before use, wash the wrap - Wash on a 'delicate wash' , using a gentle (preferably fragrance free) detergent and adding some white vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser. This cleans the pack well, no need for extra heat or detergent.
1) Prepare your space thoughtfully so you can relax.
2) Wear old clothes and place a towel down in case of any leakage.
3) On first use, lay the wrap on a flat surface and spread 5-6 tablespoons of castor oil from the centre of the wrap.
4) Place Wrap where needed (see below for wrap placement) and relax with your legs slightly elevated - For the first week, use for 20 - 30 minutes per day.
* From the second week you can increase this to however long you need—place the wrap and go about your day or sleep in it for best results.
5) After First use, just add 2 - 3 tablespoon to the wrap to top up. Wash the pack after 2 weeks of use (gentle machine wash) then repeat steps 3 & 4
