CASTOR OIL PACKS TO HELP YOU GET PREGNANT, EASE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS, AND DETOX STRESS

January 6, 2020 by WellnessLoungeSpa

CASTOR OIL PACKS TO HELP YOU GET PREGNANT, EASE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS, AND DETOX STRESS

Written by, Dr. Lynsi Lewis

 

Castor Oil Packs are a great tool to help naturally promote reproductive health.  I recommend them for a variety of gynecological conditions including:

  • Fertility
  • Endometriosis
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Fibroids 
  • Hormone Balance 

Applying the castor oil pack to your uterus helps:

  1. Detoxify the uterine environment and reduce inflammation
  2. Shed stagnant tissue and promote the circulation of fresh oxygenated blood to improve the uterine lining for implantation
  3. Promote circulation to the ovaries to improve egg quality and quantity
  4. Prevent build-up of endometrial tissues and soften and resolve endometriosis and fibroids 
  5. Promote circulation to the uterus to prevent menstrual cramping 

Applying the castor oil pack to the liver helps: 

  1. Detoxify the liver
  2. Promote relaxation and facilitate balance hormones
  3. Facilitate the function of the liver.  In Chinese medicine, the Liver system is responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle and the smooth flow of blood.  Castor oil packs on the liver help it perform these functions effectively. 

What you’ll need:

  • High-quality cold-pressed castor oil 
  • wool or cotton flannel 
  • Wrap around pack or plastic wrap
  • Hot water bottle or heating pad 

How to use the Castor Oil Pack:

  1. Fold the flannel into a shape to cover the desired area 
    1. For fertility or menstrual-related issues, this area is on the lower abdomen between the belly button and the pubic bone
    2. For liver detox, this area is on the right side of the upper abdomen half on the lower ribs and half under the lower ribs 
  2. Warm the castor oil
  3. Pour some castor oil on the flannel so that it is saturated but not dripping 
  4. Place the flannel on the desired area with the castor oil side on the skin 
  5. Cover with plastic or wrap-around pack to protect your clothing or towels from staining
  6. Place the heating pack or hot water bottle on top of the pack
  7. Lie on your back and relax for 30-90 minutes 
  8. When you are done, store the flannel in a glass mason jar and store in the fridge for future use (It can be used 20-30 times) 

How & When to use it:

For severe pain and stagnation in the uterus causing fibroids, endometriosis, or painful periods with clots:

  1. Use the castor oil pack daily or every other day for 30 to 60 days, except during your period or when bleeding. 
  2. For less severe pain try using it 3 times per week for 30 days, except during your period 
  3. Continue less frequently (1-2 times per week) for another 2 or 3 months, eventually reducing use to twice a month 

To promote uterine lining health for fertility

  • Apply the castor oil pack one of several ways:
  1. Starting after your period until ovulation: use daily or every other day on the uterus
  2. From ovulation to your period: use daily or every other day on the liver
  3. Alternate between the uterus and liver throughout the month until your period 
  4. Stop after a confirmed pregnancy 

For stress

  • Apply the castor oil pack to the liver 

During an IVF cycle:

  1. Apply the castor oil pack over the liver during the stimulation-medication phase, as well as after retrieval to detoxify the system after medication
  2. Apply the castor oil pack over the uterus from retrieval to transfer
  3. Stop packs after transfer

Spring is a time of transition and growth. We see Spring is a time of transition and growth. We see this all around us in nature but, it’s often true in our lives as well. If you feel the energy of Spring thrusting you into a transitional state, keep in mind, the new growth on a tree in Spring starts out green and flexible. That’s you: starting out, green. It’s okay if it’s a hard place to be. This is temporary, a season. Be like the new branch, bend with the winds and rain.

Need some help staying emotionally “flexible?” Our acupuncturist & herbalist Kara can help you with that! Book your initial session today!

Most of America views massage as a luxury. But mos Most of America views massage as a luxury. But most of the world understands that massage is a necessity that should be received regularly. 

In India, babies are massaged every day until the age of 3. Massage is traded amongst family members after a long day at work. And regular visits to professional massage therapists are made. 

They do this because they understand that our bodies work better when they aren’t tight, ridged, and in pain. 

We’re not meant to constantly carry stress in our bodies. 

Massage is a very important and crucial part of self-care!

If you dedicate 10 minutes a day to self-massage and $100 a month to professional massage, you should see an improvement in the way you mentally and physically feel!

🚨NEW SERVICE 🚨 The first time our Ayurvedi 🚨NEW SERVICE 🚨 

The first time our Ayurvedic practitioner Chelsea received a ghee eye bath, she thought "this must be what it feels like at the bottom of the bag of movie theater popcorn" 

People are often shocked when they hear that she uses ghee in her eyes in the dry winter months. But she feels that ghee lubricates her eyes better than any synthetic eye drop ever could. 

And this ghee eye bath, known as a Netra Basti, is like the ultimate eye hydration and healing treatment. 

It may seem strange to soak the eye in warm ghee. But it's wonderfully soothing. 

It's healing and relaxing. Ghee helps to nourish the eye, reduce pain or tiredness from strain, and can help in conditions like cataracts or glaucoma. 

Try something new and book yourself a Netra Basti with Chelsea next month to experience this ancient ayurvedic therapy.
