You may have heard of using Castor Oil Packs for Liver as a natural way to support colon cleansing, liver detox and lymphatic drainage, right?

But, have you considered a Castor Oil Eye Compress as a way to relieve itchy eyes from seasonal allergies? You’re in the right place.

GET YOUR FREE EGUIDE HERE!

You see, a Castor Oil Eye Compress helps relieve itchy eyes from seasonal allergies due, in part, to the Castor Oil’s natural antihistamine properties1 natural anti-inflammatory effects2.

The other part? It’s the gentle compression.

Because the Eye Compress functions much like a weighted, warm blanket helping with promoting oxytocin3-4 and dopamine5-6 , bringing calm and relaxation.

Sounds wonderful, agreed?

Plus, this simple act of wearing a Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Eye Compress stimulates reflex zones on your face around the eyes which directly influences certain detox organs, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

FREE EGUIDE + FULL IMAGE HERE!

So, as soon as you start wearing the Eye Compress you will begin to feel relief from irritated, red, itchy or swollen eyes thanks to seasonal allergies.

Now, you might be wondering…

But how do I know it’s seasonal allergies?

You’re not the only one suffering!

Seasonal allergies are actually quite common. You probably will see others around with similar symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. Sound familiar?

With symptoms most commonly experienced in spring and fall, then calming down in the summer.

You see, allergic conjunctivitis, from seasonal allergies, affects the gentle mucous membranes of the eyes and can present with these common and aggravating symptoms:

  • Itchy
  • Red
  • Watery
  • Inflamed
  • Sore
  • Tired eyes!

It can feel like you’re walking around with a blindfold on with a dark cloud following your every move, agreed?

These symptoms are triggered by the immune system that releases histamine-containing mast cells which help your body in expelling those invading allergens.

So, much unlike a stye in your eye or pink eye, allergic conjunctivitis usually affects both eyes and looks and feels much like you’ve been chopping up potent onions all day! Can you relate?

In seasonal allergies, this life-disrupting and usually extremely uncomfortable set of symptoms of the eyes persists all day and night.

This means you can’t focus during the day and of course, you then can’t sleep at night.

How a Castor Oil Eye Compress helps improve seasonal allergies

By applying a Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Pack for Liver with a Castor Oil Eye Compress you are supporting and regulating inflammation of the liver7, while addressing those acute and painful eye symptoms!

You see, the eyes are the window into the liver.

And in Chinese medicine, the liver opens up into the eyes.

So, when there is heat or inflammation in the liver due to the effects of seasonal allergies the eyes will become sore, red and inflamed as a result.

Making not only your eyes that you are feeling in seasonal allergies, but inflammation of the liver too!

Although, it makes sense that our most pressing and disrupting symptoms is where we first look for natural solutions, agreed

And in seasonal allergies, it’s the solution for immediate eye relief that we so desperately seek!

But, allergy symptoms are simply just “love letters” from your body!

Warning us of inflammation and an excess of histamine being produced in response to an extreme amount of allergens that are too much for your body, specifically your liver and immune system to handle.

How Castor Oil Packs help to promote restful sleep

Additional to wearing a Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Pack for Liver so you can support:

  • Regulating inflammation
  • Liver detoxification
  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Colon cleanse

Your itchy eyes will get relief from seasonal allergies while also wearing the Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Eye Compress which supports:

  • Lymphatic drainage8
  • Natural anti-inflammatory effects9
  • Natural antihistamine properties10

by:

A. Improving sleep – without the need for taking over-the-counter allergy pills that end up with you waking feeling groggy and tired

B. Shifting the body into a relaxed, parasympathetic11-12 state of rest & digest

So that you wake up with relief from seasonal allergy symptoms, and feeling better!

Chances are, you or someone you know has experienced the aggravating symptoms of an eye stye, agreed? Have you ever wondered how to use a natural remedy like a Castor Oil Eye Compress to help eye styes?

You know the struggle I’m talking about…

  • Your eye annoyingly swells, impairing your vision with a half-closed eyelid
  • A painful red bump appears on your eyelid just in time to wreak havoc on your day
  • Your eye waters and crusts, making it feel like there’s constantly something stuck inside of it…

Can you relate? You’re not alone. You see, uncomfortable styes occur most often at change of season, during stress, or hormonal phases of life. Makes sense, agreed?

Good news, you’re in the right place to get answers to your questions.

Have you heard of spleen qi deficiency? Stay with me here.

Symptoms of spleen deficiency tend to signal a weakness when it comes to digesting dampness (or excess moisture). Often caused by overexertion, poor dietary habits and anxiety/mental strain1. This terminology is used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Things like dairy, bananas and mucus-producing substances should be avoided for consumption when possible to help lessen the imbalance within your spleen.

How can you help rebalance your spleen qi deficiency?

The key is to rest and digest with a castor oil compress, which shifts the body into a relaxed state 2-3-4 to help clear the mucus-blocking dampness taking over.

Mucus is like a big fog that doesn’t allow you to see clearly, or feel well. Think of it like the old game of Marco Polo, only you never get to take off the blindfold to see exactly what is going on within you.

Now, you may be wondering…

How can I fix the uncomfortable stye on my eye?

Well, I use the Castor Oil Eye Compress Kit, from Queen of the Thrones®. It’s as simple as taking the Cosmetic Castor Oil and pouring ½ tsp on the compress, gently blotting both sides together and then placing it over your eyes.

Note that the Castor Oil is not to be used internally in the eye, and is safest when applied as a weighted compress.

Your Castor Oil Eye Compress supports improved…

  • Lymphatic drainage5
  • Natural anti-inflammatory effects6
  • Natural antihistamine properties7

Your Eye Compress ultimately supports balance within the area around the eye, enhancing your body’s ability to fight off the bacteria and inflammation causing the stye8. Pretty amazing, agreed?

Plus, as a bonus, when you wear your Eye Compress to bed, the compress effect of your sleep mask naturally boosts the antioxidant and sleep hormone-melatonin9, while also supporting eyelash growth and eyebrow health10.

Plus, did you know Castor Oil works as a natural, and easy-to-do home remedy for those with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)? This thyroid condition can impact the outside lateral part of the eyebrow, causing thinning and/or hair loss.

A classic sign of thyroid dysfunction, agreed?

Enhance natural melatonin production with an Eye Compress!

It’s true! Castor Oil plus your Eye Compress promotes your feel-good hormones oxytocin11-12 and dopamine13-14, by naturally allowing your body to relax and reset using gentle compression15.

So what’s it all mean? Essentially, falling and staying asleep will begin to feel a lot easier because your body will know how to naturally relax. Makes sense, right?

Styes are known to be a product of humidity, which thankfully the thickness of Castor Oil, placed not in the eye, but on the lid itself, counteracts and absorbs, supporting relief from the inflammation that is occuring16. Sounds good, agreed?

The takeaway? Castor Oil is special, and when combined with a compress it becomes superb in its abilities to naturally support your body!

The best part? You’ll also know how to use your Castor Oil Eye Compress as your new sleep-aid so you can have the sleep you’ve been dreaming of.
