Castor oil packs are recommended in numerous circumstances ranging from intestinal
disorders to hormonal imbalance to abnormal growths.
The castor bean, Oleum ricini (also known as Palma Christi), has been seen
to facilitate elimination through the digestive and urinary tracts, improve
intestinal absorption of nutrients, dissolve lesions, reduce inflammation,
relieve pain, improve coordination of the nervous system, and improve function
in many vital organs.
It is most often applied as a pack placed over the abdomen. The oil is absorbed
into circulation to provide a cleansing, nutritive, and relaxing treatment.
Indications: Cleansing/detoxification regimens, inflamed joints, constipation
and other intestinal disorders, PMS, headache, liver and gallbladder conditions,
and non-malignant growths. Contra-indications: Pregnancy, bleeding, and during
menstruation.

Classic Castor Oil Wrap
Before the Classic Castor Oil Wrap, doing a castor oil pack treatment was messy and cumbersome. It required the gathering of many materials including towels, plastic trash bags, and safety pins or some other method to hold the pack in place. Then the process required that you lie completely motionless during the treatment to keep the pack intact. All that has now changed!
The Classic Castor Oil Wrap has been designed to take away all of the mess and fuss, and make doing the castor oil pack treatment unbelievably simple and care-free. The Classic Castor Oil Wrap is handmade out of sturdy, comfortable, and attractive fabrics and is available exclusively through The Art of Health.
