When To Do a Castor Oil Pack

A castor pack is relaxing to the nervous and lymphatic systems, and therefore is indicated before sleep. Optimize your health by making castor oils packs a part of your monthly self care schedule. If you are experiencing inflammation then administer it at that time. It is best to do a castor oil pack daily for four-six weeks. If daily is too much, then try to do it at least four days per week. Afterwards it can be done on a maintenance schedule. Use with caution in pregnancy or during menstruation as it may create additional bleeding. 

How To Do a Castor Oil Pack

1. Fold flannel cloth to fit the treatment area.

2. Pour castor oil on cloth until it is moist (Add oil on next use if needed).

3. Place castor oil pack (cloth) over treatment area.

4. Place a towel or protective fabric over the cloth to prevent soiling heating pad, etc.

5. Place a heating pad on top of the cloths and protective fabric.

6. Relax for 30-45 minutes while the castor oil Pack is working.

7. Rub off the oil from skin with the wipes included in this kit. May add baking soda to rub off oil.

8. The cloth may be kept in a ziplock bag or other air tight container in the fridge until it discolors- wash once per month.

Caution: The oil is thick and can stain, therefore, protect your sheets on your bed or the fabric beneath you while doing the treatment. Wipe off excess oil before entering a shower to avoid slipping.
