If you’re dealing with irregular cycles, PMS, menopause symptoms, or hormonal acne, your body may be calling for balance.

Castor oil packs — a centuries-old remedy now making a powerful comeback in holistic wellness.

In this article, we’ll explore how castor oil packs support hormone health, step-by-step application, and the best times to use them — naturally and effectively.

What Are Castor Oil Packs?

A castor oil pack is a piece of organic cloth soaked in therapeutic-grade castor oil and applied to areas like the lower abdomen or liver. When worn consistently, this method promotes detoxification, reduces inflammation, and supports hormonal regulation.

How Do They Balance Hormones?

Castor oil packs can:

Support liver detox, which is essential for metabolizing excess estrogen.
Improve lymphatic drainage, helping flush hormone-disrupting toxins.
Stimulate circulation, nourishing reproductive organs.
Reduce cortisol (stress hormone), improving hormonal harmony.

According to natural health experts, consistent use can help ease symptoms of:

PCOS
Menstrual cramps
Irregular periods
Estrogen dominance
Menopause discomfort

How to Apply a Castor Oil Pack (Step-by-Step)

You’ll need:

Organic cotton or wool flannel
Remedy Herbals™ Castor Oil
Castor Oil Pack Wrap or plastic wrap + old towel
Heat source (optional: heating pad or hot water bottle)

Steps:

Soak the flannel with 1–2 tablespoons of castor oil.
Place the cloth on your lower abdomen or liver area.
Cover with wrap or towel.
Apply heat for 30–60 minutes (optional but recommended).
Relax and allow the oil to penetrate.
Store the cloth in a glass jar in the fridge for reuse (up to 30 uses).

Best time to use:

3–4 times per week, especially after ovulation if you’re menstruating
Anytime during the evening, when your body naturally enters a detox phase

Track your mood, sleep, and cycle changes in a wellness journal.
