Castor oil comes from the SEEDS of the castor oil plant and is a dense blend of fatty acids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, terpenoids, phytosterols, and amino acids. These compounds sum up the antioxidant power of castor oil which can help clear free radicals and oxidative stress. 
​
Castor oil is very beneficial in helping open up the "drainage pathways" in our body. Our lymphatic system is the sewage system or "clean up system" for our bodies. When our bodies are compromised or overloaded by toxins, infections, and poor diet, the lymphatic system gets "congested", causing anything from achiness, headaches, bloating, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and hormone imbalances, to chronic or autoimmune disease and SO MUCH MORE. The lymphatic system is designed to cleanse our body through our drainage pathways, which include the skin, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, lungs, and colon or Gut Associated Lymphatic Tissue (G.A.L.T.). However, when it gets backed up, we can no longer detox on our own properly, and our systems begin to fail or dysfunction. This leads to cellular and mitochondrial damage, which then leads to all varieties of dis-ease and disease. 

Castor oil works great as a topical “purifier” and has the ability to draw out impurities through the skin or by way of the skin.  90 % of Castor Oil’s fatty acid substance is ricinoleic acid, which is an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. It’s active ingredient is undecylenic acid, which has powerful anti-fungal properties!

Doing castor oil packs can lead to systemic improvements in sleep quality, reducing chronic aches and pains, relieving congestion, improving absorption of nutrients, and improving bowel movements and digestion, which all lead to an increased quality of life. Improving toxin removal in the body also helps with regulation of our body’s stress response and balancing of the microbiome. 

Applying castor oil packs is a great technique to learn to help your entire family with SO many things. It is not going to be the "magic bullet" for ALL things, and it is not meant to be used consistently forever. If castor oil packs don’t seem to be working for your intended use, please exercise wisdom and stop. Please schedule an appointment if you need further help in targeting the root causes of your remaining health issues.
