Castor Oil Compress Therapy:
The castor bean (Oleum ricini), also known as Palma Christi due to its shape and healing
properties, is known principally as a cathartic (strong laxative) when taken internally. A
gentler use is in the form of a pack placed over the abdomen or other parts, usually with heat
applied. The oil is absorbed into the lymphatic circulation to provide a soothing, cleansing
and nutritive treatment. Castor oil does not have a laxative effect when used topically. The
castor oil pack is not technically a hydrotherapy treatment, but it has many applications, and
is specific for assisting detoxification and for digestive enhancement. Other conditions that
respond well include headaches (decreases frequency), constipation, liver disorders,
gallbladder inflammation or gallstones, gastrointestinal disorders, for cases of uterine fibroids
and ovarian cysts that are non-malignant, nighttime urinary frequency and inflamed limbs
and joints. It is not to be used during pregnancy, over bleeding areas or during menstruation.
Supplies Needed:
•
•
•
•
•
Medicinal Grade Castor oil and wool and/or cotton flannel (order from Emerson Ecologics)
Plastic wrap or sheet of plastic (cut large enough to cover entire treatment area when folded
into thirds)
Hot water bottle, microwavable heating gel pack or electric heating pad
Old bath towel
Old t-shirt
Directions:
1) Fold three (3) flannel sheets thick so it is still large enough to fit over your entire upper
abdomen and liver or wrap around the limb or body part.
2) Use the oil at room temperature.
3) Soak flannel with the oil so that it is completely saturated.
4) When using on the abdomen, lie (or recline) on your back, with your feet elevated (use of a
pillow under your knees and feet works well), placing flannel pack directly onto your
abdomen, cover with a small sheet of plastic and place a hot water bottle on top of the
plastic.
5) When wrapping a limb and/or joint, secure the wrap in place with an ace bandage.
6) Cover everything with an old towel to insulate the heat. Take caution not to get the oil on
whatever you are laying upon, as it can stain. If necessary, cover that surface with something
to protect it.
7) Leave pack on for 45 to 60 minutes. This is an excellent time to practice visualization,
meditation or relaxation breathing (this involves placing one hand on your diaphragm and the
other on your lower abdomen. As you breathe in, allow your lower abdomen to fill first,
eventually filling your whole lung, but DON'T STRAIN. With each breath out practice relaxing
your jaw and shoulders. As you practice more, relax all muscles in your body). Alternatively
you may just go to sleep. Some people will wear the pack all night using an ace bandage to
hold it in place.
8) After finishing, remove the oil from your skin wash with a solution of 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to 1 quart water or just soap and water. If used in the middle of the night, you
can just wipe with an old towel. Be sure to use the same towel, and wash that towel by itself,
as the castor oil can make other clothes smell if washed together.
9) Store the pack in a large zip-lock bag, or plastic container, leaving it by your bed. Re-use
the pack several times, adding more oil as needed to keep the pack saturated. Replace the
pack after it begins to change color.
10) For maximum effectiveness, it is necessary to apply the pack as often as possible, at
least once daily. Try for at least four consecutive days per week for one month. Individuals
who use the pack daily will receive the most beneficial effects.
