FAQs
What are Castor Hearts?
Castor Hearts are heart-shaped patches designed to simplify castor oil therapy. They hold castor oil against the skin to support lymphatic flow, digestion, reproductive health, detox pathways, and deeper rest, without using cloth packs or wraps.
How do I use Castor Hearts?
Apply a small amount of organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil to the cotton round on the inside of the Castor Heart and place it on the the area you want to support; such as the abdomen, into the belly button, breasts, liver, sacrum, or joints.
Place a Castor Heart over the oil and gently press to secure.
Wear for at least 1–3 hours, or overnight for deeper support.
VERY IMPORTANT: Use warmth in your ritual! Either a hot water bottle, heat bag, infrared light etc... This activate the oil to penetrate and assist your body to move and flow = detox.
Be careful not to get castor oil on the adhesive as this will prevent it from sticking to your skin.
Where can I place Castor Hearts?
You can use Castor Hearts on areas such as:
- Lower abdomen (period support, bloating, reproductive health)
- Belly button (digestion + calming the nervous system)
- Liver area (detox & lymph flow)
- Breasts / underarms (lymphatic support)
- Sacrum / lower back (pelvic + hormonal support)
- Joints or muscles (inflammation & tension)
Avoid broken skin or active rashes.
How often should I use Castor Hearts?
Most people use them 3–5 times per week, or as intuitively needed.
Some prefer nightly use; others use them during certain cycle phases or when symptoms arise. Consistence is key.
Can I reuse Castor Hearts?
Castor Hearts are designed as single-use patches for hygiene and consistency.
A reusable version is in development for those wanting a more sustainable option.
Does castor oil stain?
Castor oil can and will stain and leech into fabrics - which can be challenging to remove.
If wearing a patch overnight or under clothing, choose fabrics you don’t mind getting a little oil on, or opt for darker sleepwear.
