Castor Oil Packs for Ovarian Cysts

Castor oil packs for ovarian cysts is a great natural remedy to help your body heal ovarian cysts naturally and without the need for surgery.

Ovarian Cysts

There are a variety of ovarian cysts that can occur in women. Some are functional cysts, meaning that the follicle forms into a sac during ovulation and contains a mature egg. Usually when the egg releases, these sacs go away. If the egg never releases or the sac closes up before it can, these sacs can swell with fluid.

These types of cysts – follicular and luteum cysts – go away on their own and cause minimal amounts of pain. However, if these cysts become big, they can twist, rupture, become painful, and/or bleed. Also, if cysts continue to form over a period of time, your doctor might diagnose you with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

Castor Oil as a Natural Remedy

Applying castor oil to an affected area increases the circulation throughout your body. By using a castor oil pack, it will help to bring in freshly oxygenated blood to whatever area you’re having issues with. It also works to help your body eliminate excess tissue in the area it is applied to. Castor oil packs also works to help the circulation of your lymphatic system so that your body can clear out any infections or toxins faster than it normally would have.

The use of castor oil packs to treat ovarian cysts is an ancient remedy. When applied to the uterine area, castor oil packs for ovarian cysts will stimulate the circulatory system and bring fresh blood to your reproductive organs. This extra blood will help to relieve ovarian pain and promote healing after a ruptured cyst. However, these oil pacts will not help to dissolve cancerous ovarian cysts.

How to Use Castor Oil Packs

There are a variety of castor oil packs available for purchase or you can make your own. To make your own, here is a list of items that you will need to make your own castor oil packs:

• A pint or more of high quality castor oil
• Saran wrap or plastic wrap
• A plastic table cloth, plastic shower curtain, or garbage bag to protect your bed
• 2 – 3 one foot square pieces of wool or cotton flannel or 1 10”x14” flannel cloth
• A large, old bath towel
• A heating pad or a hot water bottle

Below are the instructions for making and applying the castor oil packs.

1. The first thing that you’ll want to do is prep everything.
   • Lay out the protective plastic sheeting across your bed, warm up your castor oil to room temperature using warm water, fold or stack your flannel cloth so that it will cover the affected area. Also, plug in your heating pad and put it on medium setting.
2. Soak the flannel cloth in your room temperature oil
3. Place it on top of your abdomen, specifically over your uterus area, and cover the cloth with a sheet of plastic wrap.
4. Wrap the area with the old towel to help keep the oil soaked cloth in place.
5. Lie down on the bed and place your heating pad over the castor oil pack.
6. Stay there for 1 – 2 hours making sure not to fall asleep. Adjust the heat as needed.
7. Afterwards rub in the remaining oil into your skin. Remove excess with baking soda. Place your flannel cloth in a Ziploc bag and place it in the refrigerator. You can use it again when you repeat the procedure a couple of times per week.
8. Do this no more than 3 times per week and do not do this while pregnant or menstruating.

Make sure to speak to your doctor before beginning any medical routine. If you experience a fever, severe pain, or an increasing severity of your current symptoms after using castor oil packs for ovarian cysts, please seek out medical attention.
