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.
Neck Wrap Size: 30cm x 11cm
This inner layer is made of high-quality, organic bamboo wool flannel, free of any chemicals, soft and hypoallergenic. The outer layer is made of TPU cotton that stops leakage and insulates any heat/ice packs used.
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.
For the Neck Thyroid: Castor oil is good for improving blood circulation in the neck, relieving muscle pain, reducing inflammation and relieving thyroid problems.
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.
Directions
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 spread 3-4 tablesoons of castor oil from the centre .
4) After First use, add 1 tablespoon to the Neck pack on each use. Wash the pack after 2 weeks of use (gentle machine wash) then repeat steps 3 & 4
5) Place the castor oil pack where you would like:
Body Pack - Most commonly the entire mid-section from clavicle to pelvic bone, ribcage to pelvic bone, directly over liver and gallbladder or around the stomach area.
Neck Pack- directly over the thyroid for autoimmune conditions or nodules.
Breast Pack- directly on the breast area (Use old bra/t-shirt to avoid staining)
6) Relax for preferably an hour with your legs elevated comfortably.
If using a Castor Oil Body or Neck Pack that ties around you, you can go about your day or sleep in it for best results.
7) When time is up, gently remove the pack then rub in the excess castor oil into the skin. You can also wipe the excess castor oil off with warm water if needed.
*Use it every 2 days, topping up the wrap with 3 to 4 tablespoons of castor oil.
You can continue to use and top up the wrap for 2 weeks before it needs to be washed.
Wash on a 'delicate wash' , using a gentle detergent and adding some white vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser. This cleans the pack well, no need for extra heat or detergent.
How often can you use a castor oil pack?
For maximum effectiveness, apply at least four consecutive days per week for one full month. Clients who use the pack daily report the most benefits.
For more serious health issues or if you lack time throughout the day, I recommend to sleep in it. I have personally done this many times and feel fabulous in the morning.
Once you have experienced the benefits, it is nice to use them once a week to a couple times a month for maintenance. You can always return to them more frequently if issues arise again (ex. digestive distress – bloating/constipation, painful periods, or just experiencing inflammation or water retention).
The great thing is that you can do what feels good for you. There are no specific rules to Castor Oil Packs. If you do start to feel any stomach upset, which is unlikely, you can skip a day or two between them and still see results.
Remember that you can reuse the pack several times (up to 6 months), each time adding more oil as needed to keep the pack saturated.
