Hack #1

Detoxifying with Castor Oil Packs

(And what you didn't know!)

Castor oil packs have been used for centuries to promote liver health due to their ability to stimulate circulation and support detoxification. Here's how to take advantage!

Stimulation of Circulation: Castor oil promotes increased blood flow and lymphatic circulation in the area where it's applied. This increased circulation can support the transport of nutrients to the liver and enhance the removal of metabolic waste products and toxins from the liver.

Detoxification Support: The liver is a key organ responsible for detoxifying the body. Castor oil packs may aid in this process by assisting the liver in breaking down toxins more efficiently. The packs can potentially stimulate liver enzymes involved in detoxification pathways, facilitating the removal of harmful substances from the body.

Reduction of Inflammation: Ricinoleic acid, the main component of castor oil, possesses anti-inflammatory properties. By reducing inflammation in the liver and surrounding tissues, castor oil packs may support the organ's overall health and function.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Applying a castor oil pack can also induce a sense of relaxation and stress relief. Stress can impact liver health, and by promoting relaxation, these packs indirectly support the liver's function by reducing stress-related burdens on the body.

How to Make and Use a Castor Oil Pack

1) Pour our cold-pressed castor oil onto a soft cloth or towel (flannel works great!), saturating the fabric, but not to the point where it's dripping. Note, some people tell you to soak it until it's "dripping", I prefer to avoid the mess.

2) Place the oil-soaked cloth over the right side of your abdomen, just under your rib cage (this is where your liver is located).

3) Cover one side of your castor soaked cloth with a plastic wrap. This helps you press the cloth against your skin, as well as helps the heating process. (Saranwrap is popular for this! I've also heard of people who use cut up trash bags and that seems to work well.)

4) Apply a heating pad or hot water bottle over the pack for 30-60 minutes.

5) Relax during the treatment; consider lying down to maximize comfort and effectiveness.

6) Afterward, store the pack in a sealed container for reuse. Reapply 2-3 times a week for several weeks.

Hack #2

Calm Thyroid Nodules

If you've grappled with bothersome thyroid nodules, you'll appreciate this hack.

Numerous customers have found relief by applying castor oil with their castor packs (as mentioned in #2). A healthy liver is essential for thyroid health, and this simple practice can bolster your body's natural detox abilities, potentially aiding your thyroid health. Here's how:

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The ricinoleic acid in castor oil has anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammation can impact thyroid function, so reducing inflammation in the body could support your thyroid health.

Lymphatic Support: Castor oil packs applied over the thyroid area can help stimulate lymphatic circulation. Improved lymphatic flow could assist in the removal of toxins and waste products, potentially supporting overall glandular health, including the thyroid.

Circulation Enhancement: Enhanced blood flow due to the use of castor oil packs could potentially deliver more nutrients to the thyroid gland, aiding its function.

How to Calm Thyroid Nodules with Castor Oil

The most common way we noticed that our customers tend to calm their thyroid nodules is by applying a castor oil pack that covers the throat area where the thyroid gland is located.

Hack #2: Ease Joint Pain

Castor oil is believed to offer benefits for joint pain due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and circulation-boosting properties. While relief isn't guaranteed, trust me when I say that some of the most heart warming stories we have EVER received at Seven Minerals, have been about Castor Oil almost "magically" relieving the joint pain for some of our customers. Here's why researchers think it works:

Anti-inflammatory Effects: Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. When applied topically to joints, it might help reduce inflammation, easing discomfort associated with conditions like arthritis or general joint pain.

Pain Relief: Its analgesic properties can potentially alleviate pain when massaged onto sore joints. This could offer temporary relief from discomfort associated with various joint issues.

Improved Circulation: Massaging castor oil onto affected joints may enhance blood flow to the area. Improved circulation can aid in delivering nutrients and oxygen while removing waste products, potentially supporting the healing process.

Rooted in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, the belly button is a focal point for your well-being. It also holds speciial significance in ancient Chinese acupuncture.

A simple and soothing practice, warm a bit of oil between your fingers and gently massage it into your belly button before bedtime. Interestingly, customers who have actively oiled their belly button have reported results very similar to those who use castor oil packs.
