Castor oil packs have been used in Ayurvedic medicine to promote healing, improve circulation and reduce inflammation for thousands of years. The use of applying castor oil topically can be traced back to medical textbooks in Egypt as early as 1550 B.C..

Castor oil works by stimulating your lymph and liver function by increasing your lymphocyte count, which allows the body to speed up the process of removing toxins from your tissues. Lymphatic congestion is a key factor in inflammation and disease. So, if you have an autoimmune disease or health issues, you are likely struggling with a sluggish lymphatic system where toxins are building up and making you sick.

Some of the benefits of consistent castor oil use are:

  • Reducing gallbladder inflammation/stones

  • Improving lymphatic drainage

  • Reducing gut inflammation

  • Reducing headaches and migraines

  • Shrinking cysts in breast tissue

  • Detoxifying the liver

  • Shrinking thyroid cysts and nodules

  • Reducing painful menstrual cramps

  • Shortening periods and regulating cycles
