Castor Oil Packs

• The Lymphatic System: think of lymph as the garbage collectors of our bodies.  It finds the ‘garbage’ (i.e. toxins, excessive hormones, and waste) and brings it to our lymph nodes, where it is processed and purified.  However, our lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump like the circulatory system does. It gets it’s movement from exercise, heat, and stretching.  Castor oil packs can also benefit and stimulate the lymph, promoting detoxification and cleansing when applied to the pelvic region.​
• The Liver: The liver, your body’s lymphatic powerhouse, stores & processes toxins and hormones in the body.  Stagnation in the liver can lead to hormonal imbalance. Castor oil packs can also be applied to the liver to help it decongest, which may promote hormone balance.
• The Circulatory System: Blood is the body’s natural healing agent.  Castor oil packs stimulate circulation in the body, helping to bring fresh, oxygenated, untried rich blood to the reproductive organs. This enables healing of scar tissue, the breakdown of adhesions, and provides nutrition to the ovaries and uterus. Castor oil packs should not be used during after ovulation or if you could be pregnant, but they are a fantastic way to nurture your fertility during the follicular phase of your cycle.  Castor oil packs are used during specific Fertility Enhancing Massage sessions, and can also be used for self care at home.

The castor oil pack is placed over the area of focus with a heat-pack as the heat helps draw blood to the area and for the pores to open to absorb the oil. You are left to relax and enjoy for 15 minutes + depending on treatment. This treatment is typically combined with Mizan Abdominal therapy and Womb Steam.
