10. DON'T USE CASTOR OIL at All !... 😂
Castor oil has been used for 100's of years because doctors were so hard to find in the early 50's. My mom and grandmother used remedues that kept us ftom having to see doctors. It healed of most everything. And, of course, we ingested. Even today, I ingest it!
That is correct. The individual has to know, however, what dosage is best for them as too much can be harmful.
@melcannourish True, but being a mom or grandmother (through years of experience) were taught r learned just how much to give a child by weight and need.
@@veramariecano289 Amazing!
@@veramariecano289Yes, our parents gave it to us to take internally, as did generations before them
If we wanted a health care provider, we wouldn’t be here. I’ve NEVER had a health care provider suggest castor oil - why do you think that is? They have no problem prescribing drugs with crazy side effects but you need to scare people and warn them? I was hoping for a holistic approaches, and to learn benefits, not a speech.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and concerns. My goal with the video was to provide a balanced perspective on the use of castor oil, including both its benefits and potential risks. I understand that many people, like yourself, are looking for holistic approaches, and I definitely support that.
While it's true that healthcare providers may not always suggest natural remedies like castor oil, it's important to be aware of both the positive and negative aspects of any treatment. My intention was not to scare anyone but to ensure that everyone has the information they need to make safe and informed decisions.
If you have any specific questions or topics you'd like me to cover, please let me know. I'm here to help and provide the information you're looking for.
Thanks for watching and engaging with my content!
Bonus Tip: Buy castor oil that is cold-pressed, organic and in a glass bottle
I’ve been taking castor oil every other day for years it hasn’t harmed me
It’s not harmful provided you take the appropriate dose for your body. Too much can be harmful.
Do you buy specific castor oil that’s for internal use? I’ve been looking for good quality castor oil for internal use, but all the ones that say for internal use are suspiciously cheap and stored in plastic bottles, etc…
@@prague7706 Unfortunately, because I don't take castor oil internally, I don't have any recommendations for you. Sorry. For external use, however, I have my favourite listed within my video description with 10% coupon code. Good luck!
@@prague7706never ever ever buy castor oil in a plastic bottle always make sure it is in glass and that it is organic and hexane free
@prague7706 I ingest it, make sure it is organic and hexane free cold press double check ingredients you should be good
For liver health they say also drink lemon 🍋 water in morning and take (Milk Thistle) 1 with meal 3 time a day 😊
Soo. I’ve been using castor since a child. 2-My grandmother gave us castor once a month for a good clean out. She also rubbed some on our navels. 3. Also when my sister was past her due date she consumed a spoonful and within no time my nephew came out healthy. Growing up in the Caribbean we also had a castor tree in our yard. So it can be consumed just have to know when and how to use it.
This is great! Thanks for sharing.
People also use the castor plant to cane chairs such as those classic French bistro chairs. It’s super durable, you’d almost think it was a plastic.
@@prague7706 Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, this was and still is a go-to natural remedy for us
Ingest small amounts with coconut oil when I'll ir constipated. In our country we do for illness and regulation
Amazing!
Long term use can cause bowel damage, malnutrition.
Other side effects are stomach cramps, vomiting, dizziness, trouble breathing
Even today in many countries round the world the common mode to empty the bowels completely will be to swallow 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil daily early in the morning on an empty stomach.
Amazing! Yes - as long as people don’t overdo it - it can be beneficial.
@@melcannourish I am able to name here more than 70 (!) titles of videos recommending the daily use of 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach, this in order to strengthen the immune system. But everyone should fix the frequency of swallowing castor oil upon his own need: quaterly, monthly, once the week, two or three times the week or daily.
@@enemanozzle Exactly. I always advise people to seek the guidance of a medical professional to ensure they take the right amount as too much can be harmful.
@@melcannourish The main problem with all the healthcare and medical professionals is the fact that all these ones know nothing upon the biophysiological effects of castor oil in the human body for in the lectures of a course of medicine at a university nothing will be told upon these facts.
@@enemanozzle I’m thinking more along the lines of a Naturopathic Doctor who can properly assess each individual and the appropriate dosage for them. I ethically cannot prescribe to my clients but I do direct them to an ND when necessary.
Can we just rub the oil on the skin straight without using flannel?
You would be missing out on the gradual release of the oil that the heat source you apply will provide you with via the flannel. I mean, your method is always better than not doing it at all, however.
How do you wash the castor oil pack and where do you store it ?
You can store it in a glass container in your fridge for up to two weeks. Following this, you can wash it with natural soap and away from other fabrics of clothing.
@@melcannourishThanx😊
Don't ingest?! Shoot, my mom used to give me 2 large tablespoons when I got sick as a k8d.
You can ingest at the guidance of your doctor. Too much can be harmful. Obviously-your mom did ok. 🫶
As a kid I was given castor oil and as an adult, I take castor oil supplements, all good here!
You can ingest it. It serves as a laxative.
@@sophieg8522 You can. Just not too much at one time as it can be harmful.
@@melcannourish 2 T is not harmful for a woman of 100lbs.
Can you please tell me if it helps with fibroids i dont wanna do surgery
It has helped in reducing inflammation in this area so it is definitely something I recommend you try. Best of luck!
hi you with fibroid, ovarian cyst, sexual incontinence you can also listen to Barbara O'Neil on Hormonal imbalance re: use of wild yam, castor oil, yogi stone. stone.theres another lady on youtube who drinks 1 tbs apple cider,& grape fruit + 1tbs garlic, proven results.
Was hoping to use for fatty liver. Hearing good things about it. But then I heard some people having adverse reactions to it.. making them sick, headaches etc... i'm really hoping this doesn't happen. i'm desperate lol. will def do a patch test. thank you
Best of luck!
It might be that those symptoms are from the toxins being removed, that is very common with anything that helps the body start removing things that have been backed up due to slowed organ function/overwhelm.
How do you know the castor oil is working on your liver? Is it ok to use every night except when on your period? Or should you take breaks every so often? Also, I have had a little cramping right under my rib cage in the morning after taking it off, does that mean it’s working?
It’s definitely working if you’re being consistent like this. I do mine daily until I feel better. I’d say do it for 4-6 weeks then gauge. The cramping can mean it’s working but castor packing shouldn’t be painful. I would try doing it every other day to see if the cramping subsides.
Why not ingest castor oil? Its age old to use it for colon cleansing or just as laxative.
You are correct but most people don't know how to use it and in what dosage. It's important that individuals consult with a medical professional to determine proper dosage as too much can be dangerous and sometimes lethal.
@Mel Can Nourish can you use castor oil on a knee after a Total knee replacement. I'm 11 months since I had surgery, but I'm dealing with Arthrofibrosis ( scar tissue). Does castor oil helps?
@@m.aliciapatino5201 Yes, castor oil has been traditionally used for its potential benefits in reducing the appearance of scar tissue, including on the knee. Castor oil contains essential fatty acids, particularly ricinoleic acid, which can help moisturize the skin, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow to the affected area.
To use castor oil for scar tissue on the knee, you can follow these steps:
1. Clean the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Apply a small amount of castor oil directly to the scar tissue, gently massaging it into the skin using circular motions.
3. Cover the area with a clean bandage or wrap, leaving it on for several hours or overnight.
4. Repeat this process daily for several weeks or until you notice an improvement in the appearance of the scar tissue.
However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of castor oil for scar tissue can vary depending on the severity and age of the scar, as well as individual factors like skin type and overall health. Hope this helps.
Can i use a liver poultice with castor oil wile having gallstones??
Yes you can but if you start to feel any pain or discomfort, stop immediately. Listen to your body.
Hi Mel. When should the castor oil pack be used when treating fibroids?
I would use it daily, preferably before bed. 30-60 minutes.
Hi mell can i use the castor oil pack for breast cyst. Do i have to rub the castoroil on my breast and on the castoroil pad than wreap my self. I wanten to know if i am doing it good
@@MerleneIsaacs-zt6wcI would also like an answer do these questions... do you have to rub it in or do you just apply it with the material
@@Ellieangel777 Hello! As I hv understood, u can take a Panty liner, use it as a compress n put on the location of the cyst at bedtime or for at least an hour during the day + massage the area with C oil in the day. Pls watch Dr. Barbara O'Neil's videos on the subject, they are a treasure trove of info. Good luck!
Why use packs / wraps.. instead of just rubbing the oil directly on the skin?
I've seen wool packs instead of cotton flannel ones sold. Is wool better than cotton?
A wool flannel is preferred although an organic cotton will work just as well.
Hi there, do you know how long it could take to break down a bone spur on a hip joint using a castor oil pack?
I wish I did know. Unfortunately, every BODY is unique and will react different to another. My personal uses with Castor Oil have taken me many months but with patience and good intention, you can get there.
Thank you 🙏
Dont use during menstruation? It's one of the best cramp relivers there is!!! Not to mention its effect on hormones. Moving right along to better information .
Indeed some literature states that it can be used during light bleeding but not with heavy bleeding as it increases blood flow and can cause heavier bleeding. I personally like to err on the side of caution especially in creating videos that will be viewed by many. Thanks for watching.
I used castor oil pack and developed severe, bumpy eczema on both hands. Oil was applied to abdomen and liver, not hands. Thoughts?
You could be allergic to castor oil and it's coming through your hands. Patch tests are always advisable prior to applying oils or ointments. Unfortunately, you may not be able to use castor oil any longer. :(
@@melcannourish that would be an allergy even though I applied it to my stomach area? It didn't touch my hands, I drizzled it on a rag, put that on my stomach. Everything I read is saying that if the skin you apply it to reacts, that means you have an allergy.
@@gimmesomebeef In theory - yes - but depending on your body, you truly never know. I would be hesitant to use it again especially if your next encounter with it becomes worse. I highly recommend you consult your doctor before using it again. Best of luck.
I had an allergic reaction once I used the pack. I wore the pack all night with a heating pad. I woke up with a terrible rash on my face. I have since continued using but stayed away from the packs and o my used topically. I did try the pack once again but for a limited time (about an hour) with no allergic reaction.
This kind of stuff could also be a detox effect, could it not?
Do you have to mix it with something like coconut oil if youre using it all over your face? Also, does it help with scars?
No mixing necessary. I use it directly on my face. It’s thick so the warmth of your hands will help spread it. Great for scars too.
What about using Castor oil pack on Left side of chest for lipomas?
Yes - definitely something you can try. Consistency is key.
Has anyone used castor oil for kidney stone pain or elimination?
@@JesusSaves-JohnKJB Many have but haven’t reported back on results. I would say try it but if you begin to experience discomfort, stop immediately. Also note that this is a natural remedy that requires consistency and patience. Best of luck and keep me posted.
Tonight I sweat so much when I did a castor oil pack! My whole t shirt was soaked. Why do you think??
If you were using heat - then that could be the cause. If you weren't using heat, it could be your body reacting through detoxification.
@@melcannourish I did had a warm bag in bed but it was laying next to me and not touching.
@@Eapea It was likely close enough to make you sweat. Sweating is a good thing.
Hello in what window do u use it after your period. After ovulation or during?How to avoid period to come early and avoiding heavy bleeding. Thank you.
If you're NOT trying to get pregnant, you can use it as soon as your period is done. If you're trying to get pregnant, I would avoid it completely. If heavy bleeding is caused by fibroids or uterine issues, the castor oil pack could help to reduce these and help with flow. Hope this helps.
@melcannourish Thank you! I had this same question.
Would castor oil work on my 24 month old diaper rash? Is it safe for my baby?
Yes - a small amount can be used. I would do a patch test first to ensure no reactions though. No internal use however.
Does it have to be a cast oil pack? Can we just rub the cast oil on our skin?
Ideally you have a pack that will slowly penetrate into your skin and create heat to further absorb. You can check out an excellent company within my description which offers both the cloth and oil with no heat source required. 10% discount with my code. Good luck!
Thank you tons. Another great video
Thanks for watching!
Is it safe for breastfeeding women to use the castor oil packs?
Given the level of detoxification, I don’t recommend the castor pack while breastfeeding.
Add an hot water bottle on top of the pack when sleeping to help with absorption ?
Correct - heat helps the oil absorb better into the skin.
Can a drop or two of castor oil be put into the eye to help with dry eye on a daily basis?
Unfortunately, I don't have experience with internal eye use and would highly recommend that you consult an eye specialist for direction.
In other videos I read that some persons use one drop for dry eyes.
why do i not notice anything when using castor oil pack? been using for 30 min, do i need to do it for longer? i use it over my abdomen and liver
You won't feel anything different as changes occur slowly and internally. I had to use my castor oil pack for many months before my symptoms began to improve. It is definitely a slow and steady race.
Samuel, I reoccurring comment I have heard is it could take a lot longer if you are not well hydrated. It might help to up your water intake if you don't typically drink much water throughout your day.
Uh ma’am I’m DEFINITELY using it for my cramps on my cycle tho
How much oil should be applied to the flannel?
You would apply enough to make the flannel completely saturated.
Can I store my thyroid and liver pack with a large mason jar at room temperature?
You want to store it in a fridge to avoid mold.
@melcannourish well guess I should throw that away then.
I use a high quality oil. I always get a headache and diarrhea when doing a liver pack. 😢
This can happen. Castor oil packs are highly effective and individuals can experience various symptoms when the body is detoxing. You may want to reduce your times doing it. For example, if daily, reduce to twice per week then build up your frequency. If this doesn't help you and the headaches and diarrhea continue, you may need to decide if you want to continue. Best of luck to you!
Can a castor oil pack help remove carbuncles on your leg/bikini area? How long often should I try it for? Thanks
@@becw5382 Hard to say as I’ve never worked with anyone regarding this but I’d be curious to know the outcome should you choose to try it.
Please do not use castor oil packs to soften the hard tissue after an operation stich even when healed, it does not soften the tissue it will collect fat under the skin and you will end up with fatty necrosis lump. Never use it on eye lids either it will block the eyelash pores. Wishing you all good health.
Great info - thanks for sharing!
Do you have any information about castor oil use in belly button or on face while breastfeeding?
I don't have videos produced yet for these topics but will keep note of them so I can produce them in the near future.
I have gallbladder sludge how often should I use it to resolve it?
Each person is different. You can be using it from 2 months to 8 months. The key to it is to start and maintain consistency. Then assess as you go.
I realised that I shouldn't use castor oil now in luteal phase. I was rubbing it on my belly, even last night. Am I going to be ok? AM I GOING TO MISCARRY?
I feel stomach cramps and have been peeing non stop, I think it's the effect of the castor oil. Am I allergic to it?

Are you pregnant? If not, as long as you aren't on your period, you're fine. If you're trying to conceive, I would be careful.
Hi Mel, Thank you for this video. How often should I use caster oil to promote proper bowl movement as I have SIBO.
If you’re referring to internal use-I would speak to your doctor but for external, you could start every second day for 30 minutes and see how you respond to that.
I think you’re confusing your small and large intestines. SIBO is manifested as belching/bloating.
Hi Mel, thank you for this info… I’m wanting to try caster oil pack for a liver detox, in my blood work my liver is always a bit off, I’ve had an ultra sound on it and it was fine, but my thyroid is border line over active ( I had graves disease 13 years ago) i have learnt that the liver effects the thyroid, so thought if I could help my liver, it could hopefully help my thyroid. I’m having a blood test in December. What do you think?
If you have inflammation in these areas, you should definitely try a castor pack on each.

What is your take on castor oil packs and fertililly? Do you think this would help with any blockage in the fallopian tubes? Pcos?
Castor oil packs are best used to reduce inflammation so yes, when it comes to fertility, it could help reduce inflammation in reproductive organs. Consistency is key. Do not use if trying to get pregnant (during ovulation and luteal phase) and if not getting pregnant, do not use during menstruation. I am going to create a video soon on this so keep an eye out. Hope this helps.
@melcannourish thanks so much for responding. When your Googling info on natural remedies, there's a lot of info and misinformation as well. So it's hard to gauge what's correct or not. I've been trying to avoid any medical procedures that I've read in doing that there's always a possibility in losing a tube or both or getting a hysterectomy. And I'm not old, but I'm not getting any younger either. I'd still like to have my first child. Anyways, thanks for the response, and I do look forward to your video about castor oil and fertility. ✨️💜
@@mrs.francis7180 You are correct - there's a ton of info out there. It's also a lot of trial and error. Also remember to balance your mind and energies throughout your journey. As a Reiki Master (also Nutritionist), I see many clients for many ailments and no matter what the issue and who the individual is, energy centres are a big component of overall homeostasis and wellbeing. Best of luck!
also heard about sexual incontinence- natural remedy by Barbara O'Neil on Hormonal imbalance- use of wild yam, Yogi stone. you can also read on Glutathione IV & maca powder.
I read that castor oil packs on the stomach was OK. I’ve seen many videos showing this as well. (?)
It is perfectly fine on the stomach but just not during pregnancy and menstrual cycles.
I've been doing that and got cramps and can't stop peeing. I am also in the luteal phase and just learned that we also shouldn't use it in luteal phase when trying to conceive. Now I'm very worried.
@@neetuh4850 Don't worry. Just stop doing it. To be honest, the window of time is short if you're trying to conceive. You really shouldn't do it during your period. Although some say it's fine, I wouldn't as it draws out blood creating additional bleeding. After your period up until ovulation is fine to use it but as soon as ovulation occurs, do not. Everyone ovulates at different times. Some shortly after their period and others ovulate late. You would need to know your exact timing. It may not be worth doing it until you no longer are trying.
How about toddlers, can they use castor oil packs too?
It is safe for external use - as a castro oil pack - but the heat source must be controlled as to not burn them.
Hi there do you think this could get rid of an ectopic pregnancy thats under watch n wait management. 2nd ectopic already lost one tube, dont want to lose another one or rupture or injection. Please anyone whats your thoughts on castor oil to rid pregnancy in the tube. Thanks
Hi Lindsay - this is an excellent question. I don't have experience in this area, unfortunately, and so cannot offer much assistance. As you navigate and explore this more, feel free to report back on your experience. Best of luck.
Let me know what u can use and if u can get pregnant my daughter went threw this and only has one tube now n she cries because she wants a babu will u let me know if u come up with something
It's totally possible to get pregnant with one tube. I fell pregnant twice after my first ectopic. Unfortunately one ended in miscarriage another ended in another ectopic causiyme to lose my last tube. So my only chances are now IVF. But I already have a 10 year old and decided no more. Can't deal with any complications. All the best for your daughter. She will be just fine.

It can if you’re experiencing inflammatory issues.
I'm currently using castor oil pack for my liver and notice I'm very tired and....gaining weight! Is this normal?
If your liver has high level toxicity - the castor oil may be detoxing it and creating the fatigue. This is normal. I haven't heard of weight-gain with the pack, however.
are you eating too much?
What about rubbing it on the skin, arms, legs, stomach, arm pits and face, can this be too much as well, thanks 😊
Not too much at all! I enjoy rubbing it on my face! :)
@@melcannourish I’ve been doing that and putting some in belly button all at night. I’ve been going this for about 1 week and half and yesterday I felt sick(flu like symptoms) when I got up, really bad headache, chills , body aches and peeing a lot all day.

@@gabbyskitchen6640 You could be detoxing. Perhaps space your use out a bit if you haven't in fact caught something so that the detoxification is slower and less invasive.

Does castor oil packs work on fibrosis in abdomen area ? Can I sleep with it overnight?
Yes-you certainly can. You can sleep with it over night but don't use a heat source for safety reasons. If it's a hot water bottle, that is ok. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I have a large cyst on my adrenals, one on my kidneys, one on my ovaries. I also have fatty liver disease. I don't have a good doctor am skeptical of attempting to target the cysts. I don't want to cause danger to myself and my question is is it safe to place a pack near adrenals
Castor oil packs have been used for centuries to reduce inflammation an detoxify the body. People have shared stories of tumor and cyst reduction. Every body is different and reacts differently. Seeking the professional advice of a doctor is wise when dealing with many ailments. I would suggest getting a professional opinion and IF they agree that castor oil is fine for you, I would ensure to use is daily until you feel better. Best of luck.

Can you put castor oil on small open wound?
It is not advisable to put castor oil on an open wound unless advised by a healthcare professional.
@@melcannourish ok ill just be straight forward, what if an external hemorrhoid has a small cut on it , will it be ok to still put castor oil on and around it?
@@henrybeeson8366 You do need to be cautious of this because of the wound. Castor oil should only be used on open wounds in the care of a doctor or hospital, not at home.
@@melcannourish ok I will, but if you don't mind me asking what can happen, becuase I applied a small amount around.
@@henrybeeson8366 It could cause irritation or other adverse affects. It’s not to say this will happen but keep a close eye on it and consult a doctor if you need to. Best of luck!
Is cold pressed preferred over expeller pressed?
Great question! Both are excellent although if you were ingesting the oil, and I had a choice, I’d say use cold pressed. In the case of external use, either is fine.
Hi can i use caster oil pack whale i got UTI
Yes you can but just ensure you monitor any side effects. If you begin to feel discomfort, you can stop using it.
Thank you for helping on the video! Does anyone know if applying DMSO to the castor oil help ? Thanks!
Check out 'healing with DMSO' by Amanda Vollmer. A Must read before using DMSO.
Has anyone had any bouts of fainting spells using castor oil? I admit, I drench my skin with it as an all over body oil.
Am I using too much? Anyone have similar experience?
I have yet to hear this for external use. Internally, there definitely are limitations.
Are you keeping your electrolytes balanced after the oil applications? May be something to check!
@@DivineLightPaladin hmm I haven’t checked! Is it that I may have too much or not enough?
@@pebbles4xo I'm just going by my own exp here but it's usually having not enough, that can cause the faint feeling esp if you get it while standing up from sitting/lying/squatting. Upping my electrolytes helped me with that in general!
Also compression socks can help too, if that's a common thing you also experience outside of using the castor oil.
Can I use a chux type pad to cover between castor oil pack and heat source? In lieu of the Saran Wrap? I have both disposable pads (similar to a puppy pad) and also cloth/fabric ones
Yes - this is a great idea.
The Saran wrap or plastic sheeting is used to stop the oil from seeping out into clothing, bedding, or other coverings.
I got some from the store , it safe to use if it has seed oil?
You definitely don't want seed oil in it. It needs to be 100% pure. Organic preferred. Hexane-free. The one in my video description is the one I use. I offer a 10% discount code as well. Good luck!
Is it appropriate to use castor oil pack for fibroadenoma and cyst in breast and swollen lymph nodes in throat/neck??
Same Question as above I have.
Castor Oil may help in reducing inflammation, increasing circulation, releasing toxins and even breaking down growths. It is definitely worth a try; just remember that it is natural and may take time and a consistent effort.

Can you use the caster oil pack for kidney cysts , contracted gallbladders with stones and gastritis ? How long should I apply the packs for and over what period of time ? Thank you
You certainly can. I would apply for 1 hour each day if possible.
Can I still use castor oil patch on breast for fibroids if I’m trying to conceive?
Due to its detoxification capabilities, I wouldn't use it during conception trials. Some will say it's fine, but personally, I wouldn't want the body to be detoxifying in this way with the chance of conceiving.
@@melcannourish hi, what if i decided that i want to freeze or what do you call that? freeze the sperm or egg. can i used castor oil?
@@gh-xv1ch Can you provide more detail?
I have gerd. Can this help with my gut health to heel and solve my issue. Also I have MS. If I take orally will it help both problems or where would I put the oil packs in my body?
Hi Lisa - there is not enough scientific evidence to support castor oil helping with gerd or MS, unfortunately. If you wanted to try it for gerd, I would suggest using it on your abdomen.
Very helpful tips!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I take Castor oil internally to help my digestion and bowl problem

Young no husband and they told be they will either remove entire or half of my breast. No one can promise me what they will do until I go on operation and no one will wait for another one . I will not relay on some oncologist / medical doctor who will see and want to just cut it all . I prefer to die than loose a breast. I want to use patches to make it smaller ? No one will
Hi Carolina. I'm sorry to hear this. You can definitely try using it to reduce lump size but of course, there is no guarantee. I recommend you be consistent with it if you decide to try it. Please know that castor oil packs are not cancer treatments and DO NOT replace treatments recommended by your MD/Oncologist. Castor Oil packs can be used in conjunction to treatments or prior to treatment but not in lieu of them. I hope this makes sense. Best of luck to you.
Look into Atophogy (shrinks them) water fast with sea salt, sour sop leaf tea, watch the science of fasting and of course healing prayers/confessions
Can you use castor oil packs on a thyroid, if you have Graves’ disease and hypothyroidism?
Yes, castor oil packs have been traditionally used to support thyroid conditions, including Graves' disease and hypothyroidism. I would definitely try it.
Hi Mel, have been using castor oil consistently once a day for almost two months now over my uterus aiming to shrink multiple fibroids. But I noticed more heavy bleeding during my menstruation aside from that nothing else I usually dont have cramps. Could it be the castor oil causing the more heavy bleeding
100%. One of my no-no's in this video is to not use it during menstruation. It will pull out more blood which is not advisable so only use it before or after your period. Hope this helps.
@@melcannourish Thank you for responding. I didn't used it during my menstruation at all, but I used it before even a day before my menstruation comes, but once I see my menstruation I stopped
I was wondering that could it be my fibroids shrinking, could that be the reason for the more heavy bleeding
@@modinatadenike8125 It’s likely more because you were about to menstruate (a day away). If fibroids are shrinking it wouldn’t likely be causing excessive bleeding.
@@melcannourish I will stop using it days before by menstruation hence forth. Thank you so much for replying
@@modinatadenike8125 Amazing!
Can it help fatty liver?
Absolutely!!!!
@@melcannourish thanks!
Why can't you use it while you are on your period?
Because it naturally pulls toxins out of the body and within this process it will pull more blood as well making you bleed a ton more than you normally would.
Check, saghguru for cleaning colon. Yes you can ingested in a way.
Hi Mel.. can castor oil packs cure pcos?

Simply rub on scalp and comb through to ends of hair. Leave on for a minimum of 20 minutes, then wash out with a mild shampoo.
Thanks so much, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yes, I used what I mentioned the other day. It actually took a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and days after I still can't believe the comfort.
