Used by healers from ancient Egypt to Ayurvedic practitioners, and now embraced by integrative medicine, this simple therapy is experiencing a renaissance — and for good reason.
More than just a folk remedy, castor oil packs are emerging as a gentle yet potent tool for supporting detoxification, immune function, hormonal balance, and deep healing — all from the comfort of your home.
Let’s explore what they are, how they work, and why modern science is finally catching up to an age-old secret.
🌿 What Is a Castor Oil Pack?
A castor oil pack is a cloth — typically made of flannel or wool — soaked in cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil and applied to the skin over key areas like the liver, abdomen, or lymph nodes.
Once in place, it’s covered with a protective layer and warmed with a hot water bottle or heating pad for 30–60 minutes.
