Castor oil packs are an easy, yet impactful practice to add into your daily or weekly ‘healthy habits’. To get the best benefit, use them daily, at a minimum I would suggest 3 times weekly.
Reasons why you may want to use them:
- for thyroid health(aid in the conversion of T3 to T4)
- to aid in constipation
- for liver health
- A congested liver affects hormonal health and also can cause headaches as well.
- reduce inflammation

When castor oil is absorbed through your skin., your lymphocyte count increases (here is a great article on how castor oil works). When your lymphocyte count increases, it speeds up the removal of toxins from your tissues, thus it aids in healing.

When is best to wear a castor oil pack?
I love to wear a castor oil pack overnight. It’s super easy and also the most effective time to wear it. Did you know that during the night your body is doing a lot of detoxification processes? It would only make sense to support that. For instance, your gallbladder is working from 11 pm-1 am, your liver 1 am-3 am, your lungs 3 am-5 am, and your large intestine 5 am-7 am.
You can do this every night, however 3-4 times a week would also be very beneficial. If you find that wearing it overnight is too long or you are having any issues arise with the pack, try wearing it during the day for only 1 hour and work your way up from there! Check out more here.
How can I purchase my own pack?
My favorite castor oil pack is from Queen of the Thrones, use this link, and at checkout put in the code KCPHARMD for 10% off. Also, I love to add essential oils to the castor oil pack, Zendocrine (detoxification blend) is my favorite! You can purchase that here (or through your own wholesale account if you already have one set up)and learn more about essentials in general here.

I’m getting caught up! You provide a wealth of valuable information — thank you. I was introduced to castor oil packs to help with pain and inflammation related to sciatica nerve issues. Very helpful.
What are your thoughts on the castor oil ‘roll on treatment’ — a stick?
I’m so glad you found it helpful! I honestly haven’t heard of the roll-on treatment…
Thanks Kari this is very helpful
