Castor Oil Packs

Your womb cleanses itself each month by having a period, however if you are not having regular periods, or if your periods are painful, clotty, you have brown/black blood or you have difficulty getting pregnant, then a castor oil pack may help to give your womb a helping hand each month.

For centuries, various cultures have utilised Castor Oil Packs for their potential healing properties, including their possible positive impact on menstrual health, period health and fertility.

What are the potential benefits of castor oil packs for fertility?

While scientific evidence is limited, many individuals and practitioners believe that Castor Oil Packs may offer the following fertility benefits:

• Improving circulation within the reproductive organs

• Aiding in detoxification processes

• Enhancing the health of the uterine lining

• Supporting ovarian and uterine health

• 
  

When should I do a castor oil pack? 

When your period ends, start doing a castor oil pack for 3 days on, 3 days off.

Continue to do this throughout your cycle, unless you are trying to get pregnant, in that case you would stop after ovulation.

How do I do a castor oil pack?

Castor oil packs are excellent for cleansing both the liver and womb.

To prepare a simple pack, apply some castor oil to your liver or womb area.

Place a muslin cloth or towel over the area, then a hot water bottle or heating pad on top.

Lie and relax for 30 minutes.

Castor oil can be purchased for under £10 (I like Fushi Castor Oil)
