Have any of you tried this? Was recommended to me by a natural therapist, she has a client who it really helped. Below are links to what they do.

I suppose at the very least, it would be a relaxing experience 😊
I know caster oil is anti inflammatory and has healing properties, so I would certainly give it a go!
Not sure if I’d make my own though:healthline.com/health/casto...
Hi Nomad12,
Seems quite expensive for what it is? If I'm understanding correctly; a shaped piece of cloth? I agree it does sound relaxing though.
I have a large bottle of CO with a pump. I massage it in where needed to settle inflammation - safe and effective !
friends of ours in Canada swear by it but until now I’d forgotten all about it. Will get some for myself and my husband . Rotator cuff and carpal tunnel
Thank you. It's always good to read up on a different way to use something.
After chemo when you lose eyelashes therapist recommended massaging a cotton bud dipped in small amount of caster oil...result after a few weeks is longest beautiful eyelashes I ever had...still do it now once month and result is better than any fakes...
hi Nomad12
I haven’t used the castor oil packs you show ( thanks for the link) nor have I used them for thyroid, but I have used homemade ones for all sorts of gut pain and low back pain, using castor oil on material wrapped around with cling film ( non pvc) and a towel and holding a hot water bottle againt the towel, messy but often surprisingly helpful. A person to help makes it easier!!
Thank you all for your replies, I am going to order some and give it a go. As it is a natural product, nothing to lose and sounds beneficial 😊
Looks interesting and pretty easy to reproduce at home.
One of my Son's Carers has just cleared a nail fungus with a small application of Castor Oil. In a couple of weeks too.
Does seem a great idea for lots of different aliments.
"Natural" therapists (who, actually, use all sorts of unnatural potions and procedures) exploit their niche, which is avoided by the evidence-based (ahem) alternative. Oil packs were recommended by characters such as Edgar Cayce and Hulda Clark. If you feel they're the pampering you want, OK, but they're not medicine.
She certainly didn't recommend it instead of levothyroxine, just as something that might help as well; she doesn't sell it or get commission. Though personally, would prefer anything more "natural" (not more of those unnatural things which are around everywhere), even if it just helped a bit...
The recommending can be termed "crank magnetism" -- opening up the client to other options from the alternative side of the divide while decreasing trust in the other side.
The "appeal to nature fallacy" and other fallacies are worth looking into. It can be an uncomfortable process, however, which goes to show the powerful conditioning we are subjected to.
Very true! Can be lead up strange paths in our desperation to feel better.
