Thank you,

I just take a tablespoon every night and have had excellent results with many issues. Anyone that is so afraid to try it, just simply knows nothing about tried and true historical use! I wouldn’t want to take more than a tablespoon every night though.

I am not saying that certain areas on the body couldn’t be helped more with an oil pack but so far, I haven’t needed one.

I was told to wrap my leg and foot with a castor oil saturated materials and cover with plastic and wrap with elastic bandage to hold in place during the night. Is this the best that I can do for the problem?

just fyi: in case this can help anyone:
i used hexane free gold colored caster oil around my eyes before bed a few times a week. at the same time, my eyesight started to rapidly diminish. i went to an opthamologist, it was so bad and getting worse. when they put the drops in my eyes to dilate them, my eyesight got better. i stopped using the castor and my vision returned to what it had been. unbeknownst to me, the residue or something in the castor oil was clouding my vision.

You can handwash in warm, soapy water as needed. Some sources say to just store it in a waterproof container and replace the cloth every few weeks/months.

I bought everything but after my first use, it was really messy and I am worried about staining things. Is the oil safe to wash/dry?

You can place a drop in each eye before bed. Blink the eyes a few times to distribute. When you wake up, you may have little bits (dry or wet) around eyes. This can help with getting rid of the debris in eyes, and may help with eye health! Also look into a netra basti or ghee or castor oil eye wash, which can help support eye health, nerves behind the eyes, etc.

That could be parasites not happy with the castor oil, which gets rid of them. Look into Rogershood to help eliminate them naturally.

I just watched a yoitube called “Castor Oil: Myth or magic with Dr Marisol Teijeiro on Dr Osborne’s Zone. She stated that for the eyes, use only food grade castor oil and it has to be subscribed by your physician.
Thanks Wellness mama for the directions on how to make my castor oil pack.

My experience with castor oil is a bit different– I have severe chronic migraines and get terrible reactions to the medications. I use castor oil in copious amounts on my scalp as soon as I feel the precursory migraine symptoms, and it’s a lifesaver- nearly instant relief. I use it at night on my deet under socks for immune boosting detox though- it absorbs well and provides fantastic skin/nail care. I can’t put castor oil on my abdomen bc my still-undiagnosed immune/digestive problems are just too sensitive I guess. I get terrible cramping and nausea, likely because my GI tract is just too toxic from leaky gut type issues.
But its incredible for cuticles, scalp, feet, face (use sparingly!) etc and its my primary migraine relief, when coupled with copious rosemary oil (for the antispasmotic). I hope this helps someone… it may take a little experimentation to find what works best for each person because its powerful stuff that can bring big relief (or a big stomach ache!) but its worth getting acquainted with!

To remove the corns? You may just want to put a little castor oil on them instead of doing a pack.

Thank you

Look on AMZN for “white cotton gloves for dry hands”, and get a box of nitrile exam gloves from any pharmacy section, put cotton gloves on and drench with castor oil from wrist down, squeegee each hands and fingers like milking a cow :), then put on nitrile gloves over the cotton gloves, then go about your day for several hours… or you may be able to sleep with them on like that.

It depends on the person and their health needs. Instructions for how often to use it vary greatly depending on the source.

I also have the MTHFR gene mutation and struggle with all the things. I look forward to reading more of your blog and learning from your experiences.

My mom used to give us castor oil to help pass parasites when we got sick
Here I am 60 years later and hearing lot About parasites causing disease and cancer.
I think scaring people to not take is no Bueno!
