Natural Castor Oil Wrap - Medium

100% pure cotton, plastic-free medium wrap with adjustable elastic straps. 

Perfect to assist in detoxing and relieving inflammation in areas around the liver, gut, back (kidneys and adrenals), shoulders, female reproductive organs etc.

This wrap can be used to secure a folded up clean natural cotton cloth in place. A bandage or a piece of an old cotton towel can also be used. Make sure it's enough to absorb at least 2 tablespoons of castor oil. 

Wrapping the area up increases the absorption of the oil, especially if a bit of warmth is applied.

When in need of a wash, our Oil Busting Soap or "Boerseep" does a good job. It's also an excellent stain remover for any spills on clothes or bedding. 

If you are concerned about oil leaking through, do not use plastic - the endocrine disrupting (and cancer causing) chemicals in the plastic will leach into the oil and into your body. Especially if a heat pack is applied. Rather use grease-proof paper if necessary.
 

Application

Use the wrap daily, or for a minimum of 4 days per week. Leave it on for as long as possible, but for a minimum of 40 minutes to be effective for most conditions. Apply heat over the wrap for enhanced penetration of the oil, especially for deep set conditions. If possible, it can be left on overnight.

Never microwave the pack - it will destroy the molecular structure of the oil and also all medicinal value. 

Instructions

On first application, apply 3 - 4 tablespoons of pure castor oil onto your cotton cloth of choice. Let the oil sink in a bit, and then place the oil side directly on the body and secure it with the wrap. Relax and keep yourself warm and comfortable. 

It is sometimes not necessary to add more oil with the next application, but when required add 1 - 2 tablespoon more. The pack should always be saturated but not dripping with oil. 

When done, fold the wrap and cloth in half with the oil on the inside, fold again, wrap up in grease-proof paper and then place in an airtight container. This can be left next to your bed, or at the place where you apply the wrap. 

Once removed, massage any oil left on the skin until most or all of it has been absorbed. If on the belly, massage in a clockwise direction. If necessary, any excess oil can then be wiped clean with a natural cloth or paper towel. 

Continue applying for few weeks (at least 4 days every week), or until the problem has resolved. 

For certain deep set conditions, this may take 2 - 6 months of continuous use. 

For chronic and progressive conditions such as endometriosis, continuous use will be necessary. After a month or more of applying as instructed above (at least 4 days every week for 40min or as long as possible), begin using for at least 5 days in a row every month, after day 3 or 4 of menstruating. 

If used on clean skin and stored in an airtight container, the oil does not have to be refrigerated and can be used continuously for a few months. 

Seal and refrigerate if the pack is not going to be in use for a few days or longer. Use a hot water bottle to warm it up before next application. 

Never microwave the pack - it will destroy the molecular structure of the oil and also all medicinal value.
