What Is a Castor Oil Pack?

Castor Oil is vegetable oil that comes from the Ricinus Communis plant. A Castor Oil Pack involves putting the oil on a cloth, applying it to the affected area of the body and heating it with a warm water bottle to assist with deep penetration and absorption. Our Wildish Castor Oil Pack Kit uses organic Castor Oil, a thick wool cloth and a rubber hot water to make the process as easy and effective as possible.

Castor Oil Pack How-To

1. Fill your hot water bottle with hot water from the tap. If it’s not hot enough, you can add boiled water to it. Remember: you want it hot but never burning to the touch. If it’s too hot, take the hot water bottle off until it cools.
2. Add a generous amount of castor oil to your cloth, and spread it around by rubbing the cloth together and then lay it oil-side down, on the area you want to treat.
3. Put the hot water bottle on top of the cloth.
4. Wrap the towel around the treatment area to retain the heat from the water bottle.
5. Feel free to watch, listen or read something. You can also meditate or simply lay with your eyes closed.
6. After 30-60 minutes, remove the hot water bottle. Open up the towel. Carefully remove the cloth so as not to get remaining oil on other fabrics or clothes.
7. Massage the remaining Castor Oil on your skin and wipe off any excess.
8. Put the cloth in the plastic bag, seal it and place it in the refrigerator for the next use. There's need to wash the cloth between uses if you’re storing it in the refrigerator.
9. Empty the water bottle and store everything together for future use. This makes it easy to access and prepare for the next Castor Oil Pack treatment.
10. Add a little extra Castor Oil to the cloth for each treatment, however there will still be remaining oil on there from the previous use.

You Got This!

The best results come from using the Castor Oil Pack regularly over time. Doing this for two months, several times per week will have an enormous impact. That being said, you can feel the healing effects from the first time you do it.
