012: Castor Oil Packs The Ancient Healing Tool You're Missing

If there’s one healing practice that’s stood the test of time, it’s the castor oil pack.

I’ve been using them for over seven years now, and they’ve become one of my non-negotiables—simple, inexpensive, and deeply effective for supporting detox, hormones, digestion, and even sleep.

In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about castor oil packs: what they are, how they work, where to place them, and why they’re the perfect addition to your healing routine. Whether you’re dealing with sluggish bowels, hormonal imbalance, or burnout—or you just want a ritual that helps your body rest and repair—this ancient practice is a beautiful place to start.

🎧In this episode, you’ll learn:

What a castor oil pack is and how to use it
The three main body areas to target: liver, thyroid, and lower abdomen
Why most modern livers are overloaded (not just “sluggish”)
How castor oil packs help detoxification, bowel regularity, and lymphatic flow
How they support hormone balance, deep sleep, and the parasympathetic nervous system
Practical tips to avoid the mess (and keep your towels safe!)
How to introduce this practice safely for kids
