Despite being a little messy, castor oil packs are a really useful way of supporting your liver and lymphatic system to eliminate toxins. This is a step by step guide on how to do them yourself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But why?

Castor oil packs are great if you’ve got liver disorders, a history of constipation, swollen lymph glands, acne, methylation troubles, menstrual issues, pain or muscle injury and ANYONE with a BIOTOXIN ILLNESS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’d be hard pressed to find me a chronically ill patient with optimal detox and elimination function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using heat and castor oil is a gentle way to open detox channels, which is usually the first step to recovery from a biotoxin illness and its especially useful when you’re too sensitive to tolerate supplements.

Step by step guide:

Materials needed:

Around 500ml castor oil from a health food or bulk food store;

A clean old handtowel;

1 hot water bottle or heat pack,

2 old towels one to lie on and another as a blanket

And some cling wrap or other piece of plastic to prevent the castor oil staining the heat pack.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Method;

💥Fold the handtowel into a rectangular shape that fits over your abdomen⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥put it into an oven proof Pyrex or ceramic dish and saturate the towel in castor oil. You want it to be saturated until it’s sticky, not drippy. ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥heat to a comfortable temperature in the oven or microwave (you’re putting it on your skin, you want it hotter than warm, but not hot enough to burn yourself) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀
💥prepare the heat pack or hot water bottle⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥lie down on the old towel and place the warm castor oil pack on your abdomen, liver region or uterus depending on what you’re supporting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💥cover the castor oil pack with plastic to protect the other towel or blanket⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥place the heat pack on top of the plastic covering the castor oil pack

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥arrange the spare towel over yourself as a blanket ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏳ enjoy the warmth for 30+ minutes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The castor oil pack can be stored in a ziplock bag in the fridge and reused for months. Apply more oil when it dries out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Repeat 2-3x weekly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’d love to hear how they’ve helped you and if you have any hot tips for doing them that I’ve missed.
