[AlternativeAnswers] Castor Oil Pack

 

cold pressed castor oil pack is typically placed on the following body regions:
  • The right side of the abdomen. Castor oil packs are sometimes recommended by alternative practitioners as part of a Liver detox program.
  • Inflamed and swollen joints, bursitis, and muscle strains.
  • The abdomen to relieve constipation and other digestive disorders.
  • The lower abdomen in cases of menstrual irregularities and uterine and ovarian cysts.
  • Cut a large piece of cotton flannel and fold into thirds to make three layers. My original piece was 20 inches by 10 inches and when folded it was roughly 7×10 but yours could be larger or smaller, depending on where you are planning to place it.

Method:

1. Place the flannel in the container. Soak it but do not saturate in castor oil so that it is saturated, but not dripping. The Castor oil can be warmed up in a glass dish in the oven.

2. Lie on an old towel or sheet .Place the pack over the affected body part, like the right side of the abdomen to stimulate and detox the liver.

3. Cover with plastic.

4. Place the hot water bottle or heating pad over the pack. Leave it on for 45-60 minutes. Relax and lie on back with feet elevated, while the pack is in place. Try deep breathing, meditate, read a book, anything relaxing.

5. After removing the pack, cleanse the area with a dilute solution of water and baking soda. Make sure to drink enough water and stay hydrated after doing this.

6. Store the pack in the covered glass container in the refrigerator. Each pack may be reused up to 25-30 times, just add 1 tbsp. of Castor oil to the pack for another treatment.  It is generally recommended a Castor Oil Pack be used for 3 to 7 days in a week to treat Health Conditions or for Detoxification.

After 3 days of using the Castor Oil Pack take 1 tsp. of Olive Oil (not castor oil) by mouth. Take Olive oil in the evening before bed.

Do not take Castor Oil internally.

Castor oil is used externally in three ways. First, castor oil may be applied directly to the skin for dryness, rashes, hives, fungus, infections, boils, furuncles, liver spots (age spots), warts, benign skin cancers, etc. Also for infection or fungus in the finger or toe nails. Apply castor oil directly and gently rub into the area for a minute or two. Repeat this application 2 or 3 times a day for a few weeks or up to two months in the case of stubborn warts.

Second, the application of castor oil packs can bring significant relief for any kind of trauma, sprain or degenerative joint disorder. In the case of a painful joint, apply a pack and secure it with an ace bandage. Keep the pack on the body continuously and reapply castor oil every 24 hours. For back pain, lay on a castor oil pack for 90 minutes every day for 5 days. In severe cases, you may have to repeat this course 3 times over a period of 3 weeks.

Third, castor oil packs are used for cleansing and regulating the internal organs. For disorders relating to the digestion, intestines, liver, lungs or reproductive organs a series of castor oil packs on the abdomen for 90 minutes a day can have remarkable effects.
