Castor Oil Packs: A Detailed Guide

I started using castor oil packs when I was in my early 20’s.

 I had an ovarian cyst rupture and it was the most painful experience of my life to date. No exaggeration.

After a trip to the ER I discovered that I had another small grapefruit sized cyst still intact. I declined surgery or further intervention in search for another treatment option.

Castor oil packs were the obvious choice. For starters, castor oil is most abundant known source of ricinoleic acid at a whopping average of 90% of its composition. Ricinoleic acid has unique properties and is responsible for many of the therapeutic benefits associated with castor oil when used topically.
