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 Beauty Eye Mask! 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.

Castor Oil Packs have no known contraindications or interactions with medications.

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.

Extra heat is not necessary because the Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Packs are engineered to naturally hold in your body heat.

Pregnancy and/or breastfeeding: Castor Oil Packs are safe to use postpartum, but Castor Oil should NOT be used during pregnancy.

Menstruation: Contrary to popular belief, Castor Oil Packs CAN be worn during your period. However, if it’s your first time ever doing a Castor Oil Pack, you may want to wait until the end of your period to begin.

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.

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.

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
