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.

ONLY use organic cotton or wool for your Castor Oil Pack! Other materials like ‘organic’ bamboo or cotton velour are highly processed with chemicals. Old clothing may be made with harmful dyes, bleach and flame retardants that you don’t want to absorb into your body.

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 Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Pack BEFORE 1st use:

Step 1: In a bowl, mix warm water, baking soda, and natural dish soap, and let your pack 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 Pack AFTER you've used it with Castor Oil?

Well, ideally your goal is to 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝘁, as washing may cause the oil to get all over the outer "less mess" layer of the pack, making it messier and decreasing its natural lifecycle.

Tips to extend the life of your pack:

✓ Only use 1 tbsp of fresh Castor Oil with each use

✓ Keep the Castor Oil in the center of the pack (away from the seams)

✓ Avoid washing your oily pack

Well, there are two types of oil pulling: oral oil pulling and oil pulling for your skin.Let’s start with oral oil pulling, which is a common self-care practice that is thought to support dental hygiene.

It’s traditionally done with coconut oil by swishing it around in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. However, because Castor Oil is packed with wonderful nutrients, you can get the same oil pulling benefits by swishing it around in your mouth for only 1-2 minutes! Oil pulling with Castor Oil supports a healthy-looking smile while freshening breath, cleansing teeth/gums, and hydrating cheeks and gums.

Oil pulling for your face is a simple skincare practice that involves using Castor Oil to deeply cleanse, moisturize and massage your face. Since Castor Oil is full of skin-loving nutrients, using it for oil pulling can balance your natural oils and promote an even skin tone, while reducing the appearance of wrinkle.

Hair slugging (often called hair oiling) is the simple practice of applying a generous amount of Castor Oil to your hair and allowing it to absorb for several hours or overnight before you wash it out.

You can enhance this practice and support a less-mess experience with the Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Beauty Hair Wrap.
