Castor oil packs help with constipation

4 Jan, 2024

Castor oil has been a staple for centuries, renowned for its benefits to skin, hair, and overall body health. Let’s explore the benefits of castor oil packs, particularly for digestive health and liver support.

Why Castor Oil Packs?

I highly recommend castor oil packs, not just for womb health, but for their excellent support for digestion and the liver. I use them myself, especially during winter months they add a cosy element to my self-care routine.

How Castor Oil Packs Aid Digestion:

Castor oil packs help alleviate constipation by improving blood flow and aiding in toxin removal.

Understanding Digestion:

Here’s a brief overview of how our digestive system works:
1. We eat something.
2. The body uses what it can and processes the waste out.

When the bowels are sluggish:
– Waste sits in the colon.
– Toxins seep back into the body.
– The liver processes these toxins again, leading to overwork.
– Waste is sent back to the colon for disposal.

Our bodies need to eliminate waste at least once a day. Did you know excessive hormones are also expelled through the colon? This is a contributing factor to hormonal imbalance.

Using Castor Oil Packs for Constipation:

Applying a castor oil pack to the abdomen can promote regular bowel movements, easing the liver’s burden and supporting detoxification.

What You Need for a Castor Oil Pack:

– Organic cold-pressed castor oil (hexane-free)
– Organic cloth (to reduce toxin exposure)
– Old towel or protective cover
– Hot water bottle (optional, you can also gently heat up the oil)

Preparation and Use:

1. Soak your cloth it in castor oil (50-75ml).
2. Place the cloth over your abdomen.
3. Cover the cloth with a towel or protective cover.
4. Place a hot water bottle on top.
5. Relax for 20-60 minutes.
6. After use, store the cloth in a sealable bag or glass jar.
7. Rub the remaining oil into your skin in a clockwise motion.
8. Repeat at least three times a week for constipation relief.

Additional Tips:

– Avoid using plastic or cling film with your pack to maintain the detox effect.
– Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and flush out toxins.
– Aim for 2-3 liters of water daily, including herbal teas.
– Eat fresh fruits and vegetables with every meal.
– Include chia and flax seeds for added bowel health.

In conclusion

Castor oil packs can significantly improve your digestion and hormonal balance. Ensure your digestion is in top shape by incorporating this simple practice into your routine.
