CASTOR OIL PACKS
-
Use a thick hand towel, cotton pillowcase or a piece of flannel, large enough to cover your entire abdomen.
​
2. Lie on your back with a pillow under your knees and a pillow supporting your
back and head.
* I typically lie in bed supported by all my pillows.
* I put down an old sheet or beach towel on the bed – The oil can STAIN.
* Castor Oil packs can make you feel relaxed and sleepy. I like to do them before
bedtime.
3. Lightly apply oil to one side of the towel. Set aside.
​
4. Apply generous amount of Castor Oil to your entire abdomen using the
clockwise “Sun-Moon” stroke.
5. ​Now apply your towel with the oiled side on your abdomen.
​
6. Take an old pillowcase or large piece of flannel and place over your entire
abdomen, securing you oiled towel.
​
7. Place the heat pack on top of pillowcase
* An electric heating pad, hot water bottle, or ck can be used, but hot water
bottles and rice packs will need to be reheated several times. – I prefer electric
heating pad.​
8. ​Rest for 30-60mi
​
-
Use this time to practice deep breathing, read a book, meditate, or listen to music (or whatever you find relaxing).
-
After the desired time, remove the pack and return the flannel to the glass container or plastic bag. Massage any excess oil into skin using the clockwise “Sun-Moon” stroke.

Store Oiled towel in the fridge, to be used again.
