Castor Oil Treatment

Castor oil is unique in its capacity to both eliminate and nourish at the same time. Treatments combine the application of a castor oil pack with loving touch, holding and deep relaxation to support the body’s natural healing process.

Castor oil packs can be used in a variety of situations including;

• During a cleanse to stimulate the liver and help invigorate the natural detoxification and elimination processes
• To stimulate lymphatic flow, increase white blood cells and boost the immune system
• Bring more ease when there is digestive or menstrual discomfort
• Reducing local or overall systemic inflammation
• To bring nourishment and nurturing when there is an general sense of depletion

Other than during pregnancy, there are very few situations where topical use of castor oil is contraindicated. Before applying the pack to the body, I ask some questions so I am clear on the intention of the treatment. We begin with an abdominal massage and then I prepare the castor oil pack for application. The pack is in place for almost an hour and during this time my work is more subtle as the body begins to settle into the stillness. It’s often during this part of the treatment that the most powerful energetic shifts can happen.

Castor oil packs can be re-used multiple times, so after the treatment you’ll leave with your own pack and also the method so you are able to continue at home integrating castor oil packs into your own self-care routine. It may be that in some instances I recommend re-using the pack for several consecutive days after the treatment. The pack consists of organic, unbleached brushed cotton from Green Fibres and cold-pressed organic castor oil. For all of my treatments, I only ever use the very highest-quality organic, therapeutic grade essential oils.
