Liver Castor Oil Pack

When you wear your the gentle compression may stimulate nervous system receptors in your skin (similar to a hug or a weighted blanket) that help shift you from a stressed state to the relaxed, ‘rest and digest’ state so you can promote:

• Liver detox - May help balance inflammation in the liver area and optimize blood flow, supporting the detoxification process.

• Lymphatic drainage - The gentle compression of the pack over your liver area (highly concentrated with lymph and circulatory vessels) may support lymphatic drainage and cleansing.
  
  
• Colon cleansing - May help balance inflammation in the gut and support smooth muscle function for better digestion, absorption, and elimination.

The best part? Food, supplements, and medicines can be safely combined and often work better when doing Castor Oil Packs.

Both the pack and oil are ESSENTIAL for all these benefits.

What does it feel like?

The Castor Oil Pack for Liver feels like a warm hug that curves to fit you just right, it’s so comfortable you can sleep in it. The gentle compression of the pack and Castor Oil on your skin may help promote your feel-good hormones oxytocin and dopamine, that instantly help you feel calm and relaxed.

This Castor Oil Pack is form-fitting like a second skin, and so comfortable you can sleep in it. Designed by a naturopathic doctor according to Edgar Cayce’s guidelines for Castor Oil Packs.

Please note: Castor Oil that is packaged in plastic may leach BPA and other endocrine disruptors, counteracting the benefits of your Castor Oil Pack practice. Always use organic Castor Oil from a glass bottle, like Queen of the Thrones®.

Will it fit me?

The pack is made to fit over the size of the adult liver area. It fits most bodies with its long, soft straps that gently hug your curves so comfortably you can sleep in it or easily go about your daily routine.

For larger bodies, you may want to size up to the Pelvic Castor Oil Pack. 

FAQs: 

- Can I just drink Castor Oil or rub it on my skin?

Castor Oil is a stimulant laxative that when taken orally, can cause cramping and make you rush to go to the bathroom.

Simply rubbing Castor Oil on your skin and throwing an old T-shirt overtop (A.K.A. the “Lazy Castor Oil Pack”) only gives you about 50% of the benefits. Without the pack, you lose out on supporting liver detox, lymphatic drainage, and colon cleansing.

You see, the pack and the Castor Oil work synergistically together to help you feel better.

- Will it impact any of my medications, hormone replacement therapy, birth control pills, IUD, or supplements?

No, Castor Oil Packs can be safely combined with any medication and supplement and may even help them work better.

Castor Oil Packs are safe to use while on hormone replacements, TTC medicines or birth control pills and support hormone balance if you are weaning off. They are safe to use with internal IUDs.

In very rare cases, a hypersensitivity reaction to Castor Oil may occur. If this happens, please discontinue use.

- Is the Castor Oil Pack for Liver messy?

Has the mess and fear of staining your fabrics stopped you from doing a Castor Oil Pack in the past? Probably, and that’s why this pack was designed by a naturopathic doctor just for you to be LESS-mess.

Although it’s not messless, it’s LESS messy than a DIY pack. Always wear an old T-shirt over top, just in case.

Please note: Your pack will become messy over time and it’s unknown whether or not toxins are absorbed into the pack, this is why it’s important to use fresh oil with each use and replace your pack after 2 months if you’re using it daily.

- Do I have to add heat?

Extra heat is not necessary because the Castor Oil Liver Pack is engineered to naturally hold in your body heat.

- Can I wear it if I’m pregnant, breastfeeding, or on my period?

Pregnancy: Castor Oil Packs should NOT be used during pregnancy unless advised by your doctor, doula, or midwife practitioners.

Postpartum during breastfeeding: You may want to wait until you’ve finished breastfeeding to wear your Castor Oil Liver Pack, however, the Pelvic Castor Oil Pack can be used during this time to support healing and resetting of the pelvic and abdominal organs after having a baby.

Menstruation: Contrary to popular belief, Castor Oil Packs CAN be worn during your period. However, if it’s your FIRST time ever doing a Castor Oil Pack, wait until the end of your period to begin, otherwise, you may experience more intense period cramps.

After regular usage, there is no issue with doing your pack on your period. Often many practitioners note that your period improves with a regular Castor Oil Pack practice.

- How can I do Castor Oil Packs for my hormone balance?

 For hormone balance, it’s best to wear your Castor Oil Pack for Liver for the first two weeks of your cycle (from the start of your period to ovulation). Then, for the remainder of your cycle, switch to the Pelvic Castor Oil Pack until you get your period again (approximately 2 weeks).

No menses?
If you don’t have a period, start with your Castor Oil Pack for Liver on the New Moon and switch to the Pelvic Castor Oil Pack on the Full Moon.

Perimenopause or menopause?
Begin with your Castor Oil Pack for Liver on the Full Moon and switch to the Pelvic Castor Oil Pack on the New Moon.

These are easy, gentle hormone-balancing protocols used to support a regular monthly hormonal cycle, good for all stages of life from puberty to fertile years to perimenopause and menopause.

- How can I use Castor Oil Packs for detox and cleansing?

Detox and cleansing are all about balancing your circadian rhythm. The nightly practice of the Castor Oil Pack for Liver (best combined with the Castor Oil Eye Compress ) may promote balanced hormones and excellent sleep. Many wake in the morning to have a great BM.

In the morning, waking and stimulating your skin (your largest organ) with a Castor Oil Dry Brush naturally promotes energy and helps to drain and cleanse detox byproducts that have built up during your sleeping hours.
