Castor Oil Packs for Digestion
Castor oil packs have been used for generations as a simple, natural ritual to support digestion and abdominal comfort. Applied over the abdomen, they are commonly used by people looking to support regularity, ease feelings of bloating and encourage a healthier digestive routine. At Castorvida, our reusable castor oil packs combine a UK-made organic cotton compress with organic, cold-pressed and hexane-free castor oil, making traditional castor oil packing simple, comfortable and less messy.
How Can Castor Oil Packs Support Digestion?
Castor oil is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid, a distinctive fatty acid that has been studied for its biological properties. When used externally as a castor oil pack over the abdomen, the combination of castor oil, gentle pressure and regular rest is traditionally used to support circulation, lymphatic flow and digestive wellbeing.
