The new way to use Castor Oil

My mother and others have shared their stories with me about the regular and primary use of castor oil. They shared that castor oil was administered orally every season by their parents to "clean out their body systems". Luckily, for me and my siblings, my mother did not like that treatment.

Today, I would like to share a natural external therapeutic usage of castor oil. The way that is used is described in its name which is The Castor Oil Pack. We discovered and are active participants in this practice to this day in the year 2011. The how we discovered this hidden gem or why we were in search of natural treatments will have to come in another blog.

The therapeutic usage of castor oil packing was first discovered by Edgar Cayce, the father of the new age movement (1877-1945), and is now regarded by naturopaths around the world as a very effective tool for liver detox. In the 1930s and 1940s castor oil packs caught on in the mainstream and were used as a common remedy. His work with castor oil was later researched and proven by primary care physician William McGarey and others.

One of the more compelling health benefits is castor oil’s ability to support the immune system. This healing process does not require you to ingest the cold-pressed castor oil, it is applied externally. Castor oil “packs” have proven for us and others to be an economical and efficient method of infusing the ricinoleic acid and other healing components of castor oil directly into your tissues.

How we use the “Castor Oil Pack” for Liver Detox, skin issues rashes, snoring, sleep apnea, loss of taste, muscle inflammation, soreness, swelling, reduction of insulin, more energy, and female-related concerns.

• Take your castor oil packing material

  • (an old t-shirt and fold in half or 4 sides depending on which area of your body you are using the castor oil pack.

    • The entire rib cage, abdomen, pubic region, and the liver under the rib cage fold the t-shirt in half

    • If you are using the castor pack on your neck, shoulder, wrist, ankles, or smaller area fold the t-shirt in quarters.

• Pour the castor oil over the cloth –

  • it needs to be saturated (but not dripping) then fold the cloth onto itself. Kind of like rubbing the two cloth ends together to spread the oil.

• Place the castor oil pack over the liver which is located on the right side of your body, underneath the breast on the right side of the rib cage, the area of inflammation, or the area you are experiencing discomfort.

• Now to prevent soiling place a disposal garbage bag, (one of the bags you carry your grocery out of the store is perfect) over the saturated cold-pressed castor oil t-shirt, (the castor oil pack).

• Next place your heating source (a heater pad, hot water bottle, or heated wheat bag) over the top of that area to warm the oil – this step is a crucial step to ensure that you achieve the benefits of the process. This heat helps the oil.

• Cover the heater pad with an old sheet, or towel, or piece of disposal cloth, or a waist trimming belt to secure the wrap in place.

  • The first time we suggest wearing some old clothes over the top, or bath wrap. Staining is very likely. Castor oil is a greasy oil.

  • Because it can create a lot of elimination it is wise to start by packing for just 15 minutes 3 consecutive days a week.

• The next week you can increase this to 30 minutes if you are reacting ok, 45 minutes the week after, and so on in 15-minute intervals until you are up to 1 ½ hour for 3 consecutive days a week.

• The castor oil pack can be very relaxing, calming, and a great time to meditate, read a good book by Jamera & Art, listen to music or find that special place in your mind to nurture your dreams.

• The pack can be stored in a plastic sealed bag, a plastic or glass container. This pack does not have to be refrigerated. It can be reused by you only 40-50 times (i.e. around 3-6 months) before the cloth needs to be discarded and a new pack made –

• Time to change your pack when it starts to smell rancid.
