And it all comes down to the magic of this one ingredient.
One ingredient, endless ways to use it.
The History
Castor oil, also known as "Palma Christi," has been used for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egypt where it was used for medicinal purposes and as fuel for lamps. Legend suggests that it was Cleopatra’s ancient beauty secret.
Its popularity spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, and was used to treat various ailments. By the 18th and 19th centuries, it was also used industrially to lubricate machinery. Today, castor oil is still valued for its versatility, wellness and beauty benefits.

What is a Castor Pack?
A castor pack is when you combine a cloth (we recommend a wool or cotton flannel) with organic castor oil and some sort of heating pad or warmth delivery system. You soak the flannel in the oil, then place it on your skin—usually your abdomen or any area that needs soothing relief. The result is a purifying and cleansing experience that, when paired with low lights and meditative breathing, can be extremely soothing for moments when you need a reset.
How to Make a Castor Pack:
1
Place a wool flannel in a container. Drizzle Castor Oil onto the flannel until it is saturated, but not dripping.
2
Prep the area where you will be using the pack. You should be seated or lying down. We recommend wearing workout or comfy clothes in case some light staining occurs from the oil.
3
Carefully take the flannel from the container and place the pack over your abdomen or other body part.
4
5
Place a hot water bottle or heating pad over the pack.
6
Enjoy your Castor Pack for forty-five minutes to an hour. Close your eyes, listen to relaxing music, light some candles—whatever helps relax you.
7
When finished, remove the pack and place it back into the container to store for next time.
8
You can then cleanse your stomach with soap and water to get rid of any lingering Castor Oil.
