✨More info on castor oil in the caption! How to use castor oil as a beginner! 1. Use organic, hexane-free castor oil, in amber glass 2. Use a small amount 3. Rub into and around your belly button for 30 min (It should be mostly rubbed into your skin) 4. Wear an old t shirt because it will stain 5. Take a binder about 30-60 min before Then you can upgrade to more on your upper right abdomen with the pack, increasing quantity of oil over a couple weeks. This is not a race - ease into it!! I also love sleeping with a heating pad from @heathealer to increase absorption. All of my castor oil essentials are linked on https://thenontoxictea.com/castoroilpack I like using castor oil with a binder (I use @wildcoal charcoal) to help detox and reduce any detox symptoms (flu-like). This helps bind to the toxins and move them out of your body so they don’t get reabsorbed. You can take activated charcoal or another binder for this! This is the best way to start your castor oil journey. I have noticed dramatic bloating reduction, improved digestion, deeper sleep, less painful periods, and it’s incredible for detoxing your liver. Studies of castor oil packs specifically are limited but there was a 2011 study that showed positive improvement for constipation (though this is not a long term solution for chronic constipation). A study published in the International Journal for Naturopathic Medicine found that after just two weeks of using castor oil packs, participants had improved immunity markers, liver enzymes, and cholesterol levels - even among the those whose liver and cholesterol enzymes were elevated outside of normal range at the beginning of the study. And it’s been shown to improve osteoarthritis symptoms when administered orally. As always, do your own research before starting something new! Don’t do this if you are pregnant and make sure to do a patch test first! 💗 Also this is not medical advice and I am not a doctor :)
