When taken orally, Castor Oil is a stimulant laxative that can cause cramping and make you rush to go to the bathroom. Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil is for topical use only. 

Simply rubbing Castor Oil on your skin and throwing an old T-shirt overtop (A.K.A. the “Lazy Castor Oil Pack”) only gives you about 50% of the benefits. Without the pack you lose out on the relaxation benefits, similar to a warm hug. The pack and the Castor Oil work synergistically together to help you feel better.

Wear your Castor Oil Pack for 1 hour, or overnight. Most begin with 7 days straight, then continue with an ongoing practice 3-5x per week.

Build on your practice with the Chest, Neck, Pelvic and Back Packs for localized support depending on your unique wellness challenges.

Is the mess and fear of staining your fabrics what has stopped you from doing a Castor Oil Pack in the past? Probably, and that’s why this pack was designed by a naturopathic doctor just for you to be LESS-mess.NO, it is not messless, but it’s LESS messy than a DIY pack. Always wear an old T-shirt over top, just in case.Note that your pack will become messy over time and should be replaced after approximately 60 uses.

The traditional way of doing Castor Oil Packs was to use the SAME compress over and over and over. This was okay, before the industrial revolution when our environment wasn’t as toxic. We now know that the increasing environmental toxicity impacts wellness. This is why it’s important to add fresh oil every time and replace your pack after approximately 60 uses for ease of use, comfort, and sanitation.

New research from the National Institute of Health shows that even organic materials may contain traces of chemicals via transportation, packaging and warehousing. But luckily, washing is shown to significantly reduce or even eliminate these chemicals completely.

It's like when you buy produce, you always wash it first, even if it’s organic, right? You should also always wash the clothing and fabrics you place on your body. This is an unwritten rule with fabrics, especially if you have extra sensitive skin. But this is only a suggestion, like washing your new underwear before use!

Here's how to wash your Cotton Insert BEFORE 1st use:

Step 1: In a bowl, mix warm water, baking soda, and natural dish soap, and let your insert soak for 1 hour or overnight.

Step 2:  Hand wash it with warm water and natural dish soap, rinsing and wringing it out very well.

Step 3:  Hang or lie it flat to dry on a towel.

You can also wash it on a cold cycle in the washing machine with natural detergent. Just don't ever put your oily, used pack into the washing machine as it could ruin your washer!

Now, maybe you're wondering if you can wash your Cotton Insert AFTER you've used it with Castor Oil?

Yes, with the 100% Organic Cotton Insert, you can wash after use. Simply use the same steps as above.
