Castor Oil Packs to detox the liver

HI there!

Has anyone used castor oil for the anti-inflammatory qualities as a compress of castor oil as you sleep. Queen of Thrones has a cloth that can be used. Has anyone ever used it and did it help with pain and the liver to work more efficiently. Or have you tried rubbing it onto your skin. I have used it on my legs just rubbing it on and added Frankincense oi to the castor oil and it helps a lot with the neuropathy and sciatica pain.

Thanks!

there isn't any medical research that supports it. The usual use is as a laxative, but social media expresses support. Something to keep in mind, while castor oil is extracted from castor beans, the beans themselves contain ricin, a highly toxic compound. Ricin is not present in properly processed castor oil, making the oil safe for consumption and external use in most cases. However, improper processing could lead to contamination.

Thank so much! We weren't going to take internally but it does seem to help with the inflammation in my legs and knees, am hoping it might can help on the liver area possibly if ok to use. will have to get a bit more information before I try that.

I use it on my painful knees every night and it does help. Never tried it on the liver but I don’t think it would hurt to try it. In regards to contamination only buy cold pressed, hexane free organic castor oil. Also make sure it comes in a glass bottle. There are several good ones on Amazon.

Cindy this is the one we use and its been very beneficial and goes a very long way because it is so concentrated. I purchased Glass roller bottles to mix it in and its great to apply to the skin without wasting it. They are very inexpensive.

I really love it! A nurse friend of mine that stood on her feet all day was taking pain meds after her knee surgery. She has come off all her medicines since using this oil every night. It's pretty amazing! The Temu site has the roller bottles glass 50ml and they have amber, purple, red, etc to help block out the light. One has an opener with it too to help put the rollers on and they are only 3.59 a bottle. Good luck with everything and thanks for your response! :-)

Castor oil dates back 4000 years. It was cultivated in Egypt, now it;s all over. I use the paks on my liver and take it as a laxitive. Do get what others have suggested, Cold Pressed, Hexane free Organic. My mother and grandmother always keep a bottle around.

Can you tell it helps your liver by using the packs? and if so how to do apply the packs and which ones do you like to use? Thanks a bunch! I've always said God gave us everything we needed to help us stay healthy, but sadly corporations and other entities have changed our food and our medicines that are not promoting us to be holistic. It's so great to get to share our situations with one another on this site. It has been a blessing to have a place to feel you have hope! :-)

You can go to any pharmacy section anywhere and get the pads or Amazon . You get the pads pour some Organic ,Hexane-free Castor oil on it and put it where it hurts . Mine has elastic bands so you can keep in place or they have some you stick on like a large bandaide. You can Google all of this and more. They help remove toxins. Hope this helps.
