Heard the recent buzz about castor oil? Castor oil packs have been around for many years but did you know its many uses, especially for gut disorders? In this post, we will discuss all the benefits of castor oil packs and how it comes into play with our bodies and gut health! Let us at Crohn’s & Colitis Lifestyle offer our tips!
A castor oil pack is one of the OLDEST, most widespread healing rituals in the world and the best-kept secret known only to a privileged few. From Traditional Chinese Medicine to Indian Ayurveda to modern Naturopathic Medicine, it has withstood the test of time for centuries in cultures all over the globe.
Amazing, right?
A castor oil pack is an ideal treatment to support functional health conditions and chronic diseases if your healthcare professional approves it for your condition.
The reason its benefits are so far-reaching is that it can potentially support the 5 Foundation Functions of the human body. These vitals help you to re-engage, rebalance and revitalize your life.
Here are what the castor oil pack specializes in and may potentially help with:
These 5 things are so foundational to the human body and it is why castor oil packs daily, could be beneficial.
They also indirectly could potentially rebalance the hormonal, immune, and nervous systems, which are the regulatory pathways of the body.
Some people say they feel the “LOVE” when wearing the castor packs.
This is likely because wearing a pack stimulates dopamine, our “feel good” neurotransmitter, and Oxytocin, the “love, and attachment” hormone. You sleep incredibly well because the castor oil pack relaxes your body, it switches you into a relaxed state.
If you are using the pack for abdominal pain, some have found it to be of help.
After wearing the pack in the evening, some people experience a flatter stomach in the morning, bloating is gone and they feel energized.
We have found that a HUGE step in healing Crohn’s and Colitis is the detoxification process. This is a part that many skip, and therefore get reactions like a HERX that cause a temporary increase in symptoms.
We like to use the following phrase “open the detox pathways” to explain to our clients the ways they can get a good detox. Detoxing is an important part of Crohn’s & Colitis because when we treat the root cause of the illness it entails getting rid of pathogens to level out the microbiome.
However as mentioned previously if the detox process is skipped, while treating the pathogens, they are not able to expel themselves properly it will cause sickness and reactions.
When pathogens are being treated they expel toxins as they die, so it is crucial to use the methods below that we have found to ensure they are eliminated properly.
Castor Oil Pack’s have a direct effect on digestion, the microbiome, detoxing and even our moods!
Castor oil can also impact our vagus nerve! How so? Castor oil especially when applied to the abdominal area can have access to our lymphatic system. Since the vagus nerve begins at the bottom of our head and travels all the way down through the abdomen Castor oil is a great way to flush and activate these systems doing so with a calming response.
Castor oil can move things along! If you’re struggling with constipation, spasms, bloating or gas, why not try a castor oil pack?
Castor oil stimulates smooth muscle contraction via the prostaglandin EP3 receptors of the body. Smooth muscles are what the intestines and guts are composed of, as is the uterus. Working with Castor Oil Packs stimulates these to move, which has proven to give huge relief for many.
Castor Oil is also one of very few natural substances that can break down the biofilm barrier, as well as chemical biofilm breakers like sodium hypochlorite12.
Biofilms can be likened to a “shield” that protects the bad bacteria and pathogens from being killed triggering immune responses.
Pathogens can also secrete biofilms making it much harder to kill and treat the infection in the first place. This makes things chronic if the pathogens and the biofilms aren’t being treated correctly.
This shield can become very resistant to antibiotic therapy, even up to one thousand times more resistant.
You don’t want an overgrowth of pathogens, period. But their biofilms are no joke.

There are many ways to do a castor oil pack. Queen of Thrones (the company we trust for our castor oil pack products) created the EASIEST way to make this a daily health practice that supports the 5 Foundation Functions with the Queen of the Thrones® castor oil pack. It’s as easy as 1-2-3, or C.O.P!
C– Compress side up, O – Organic castor oil in the middle of the pack 2 TBSP (avoid the seams), P – Place pack on the area of the body you wish to treat.
The most common placement of the castor oil pack is on the liver, underneath the right rib cage. This area covers many of the digestive organs, including the stomach, the pancreas, the small intestine, large intestine, adrenals, and kidneys. This also includes the omentum and all the many lymph nodes located in this area.
Sometimes, castor oil packs are used locally for pain or for specific treatments such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, hip pain, and joint pain of all types. In these cases, it’s still beneficial to place it on your liver, but on alternating days it should be placed locally on the area. Or, even more, the idea is to do both at the same time.
If you are struggling with PMS and menstruation issues make sure to read our blog here to maximize efficacy and symptom relief.
It’s imperative to wear the Queen of the Thrones® castor oil pack or you lose out on over half of the benefits and the most important part! The pack stimulates somatic visceral responses, meaning nerves of the parasympathetic or relaxed state, producing feel-great hormones like dopamine[15] and oxytocin[16].
When they are stimulated, this tells the body to move into a relaxed state and this is where we heal and clean up our systems.
Ideally, the pack should be worn overnight. This will produce the most benefit and increased balancing of the system.
The other option is to wear for a minimum of one hour. It can be at any point in your day, though most people opt for the evening. If you are sensitive or tend to HERX on things try this one hour method first and slowly increase.
The important thing is to wear your pack every single day.
Ideally, a castor oil pack is done daily. Because it is addressing the 5 Foundation Functions of health, it’s imperative to keep the function of your body working optimally.
It’s no different than making sure to eat, drink water and sleep every day. Castor oil packs optimize and enhance the basics to being your best.
Tips for how to use with IBD:
When on the IBD healing journey we recommend a castor oil pack daily to ensure proper elimination, regularity, and lower toxin loads. It can be as easy as applying the pack in bed and letting it saturate and sink in through the night.
Many have found then that in the morning they are able to have better BM’s and fewer negative side effects throughout the day.
Before starting a anti-pathogen protocol (these are substances/treatments that kill pathogens) we always recommend dry brushing and using a Castor oil pack through the day (or at bedtime) to ensure the most toxins are released prior to treatment
In this section, we provide you with simple takeaway tips and a quick reference guide from us so that you can implement this in your daily health regimen!
*A quick tip:
We recommend dry brushing yourself each day and using a Castor oil pack each night at bed for toxin loads. Doing an epsom salt bath beforehand can increase the flushing of toxins!
Remember we always recommend using a castor oil pack prior to using anti-pathogen treatments.
