CASTOR OIL PACK TREATMENT

How to do your Castor Oil Pack (COP) Treatment

Castor oil pack may well be one of the most valuable components of your treatment regimen. 

The external use of castor oil “feeds the area” supports the body’s detoxification and elimination functions, enhances liver metabolism, balances the immune system, and improves lymphatic circulation.  The castor oil pack costs next to nothing, only asking a bit of your time and your openness to its therapeutic power.

When a Castor Oil Pack is indicated

For many people, the castor oil pack is a foundational therapy that supports the other treatments prescribed by your doctor.  This is why we consider the castor oil pack part of our “Basic Treatment Guidelines for Optimal Health,” and a powerful therapy for many on the road to wellness. 

The castor oil pack is specifically indicated for a broad range of symptoms and disease states, including almost all strains, pains, digestive disorders (such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, liver diseases and gallstones), male and female pelvic complaints (such as enlargement of the prostate, PMS, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts), conditions related to hormonal imbalance (such as irregular menstrual cycles and infertility), and even more general complaints (such as headache and numerous inflammatory conditions).

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR YOUR CASTOR OIL PACK TREATMENT: 

  • Organic Castor oil (in a glass container)
  • Wool or cotton flannel large enough to fit over your abdomen (baby receiving blankets)
  • Saran wrap (to cover the flannel with castor oil preparation)
  • Old towel (to cover the place you will lay on)
  • Hot water bottle or heating pad

DIRECTIONS FOR YOUR CASTOR OIL PACK TREATMENT:

  1. Apply slightly bigger than a quarter-sized amount of castor oil to your whole abdomen/or area to be treated.  You may want to add specific herbs as per Dr Gloria’s recommendations.  Your skin will absorb some of it, and a light film should remain on top.
  2. Fold the piece of flannel cotton or wool to size and use it to cover your abdomen/or area to be treated..
  3. You may want to cover the area you will lay upon- with the old towel, as castor oil can stain other fabrics.
  4. Except during the summer months, we recommend that you place a hot water bottle or heating pad over your castor oil pack to aid the oil’s penetration.
  5. Relax and allow 30-60 minutes for the most powerful treatment results.  This is a wonderful time to practice deep breathing, meditation, or any other relaxing activity that you enjoy.  (Do not sleep with COP & heating pad on all night!)
  6. Afterwards, you can allow any remaining oil to soak into your skin or take a warm shower. Preferably go to sleep as its best to do before bedtime.
  7. You will derive the most benefit from your castor oil pack if you use it a minimum of 4 consecutive days each week (such as Monday-Thursday evenings).

A few notes:

  • Castor oil can stain sheets and clothing.
  • Store castor oil in a cool place away from direct sunlight, should be in a dark glass container and use within a couple of years.
  • You needn’t wash your flannel, but please keep it in a sealed container and change it every 2 years.
