castor oil packs
Castor oil is used for detoxifying and reducing inflammation in the areas it is placed over (typically over the liver, intestines, or ovaries). The ricinoleic acid that castor oil contains encourages and supports the drawing out of toxins and promotes a higher degree of well being. The oil is poured over the abdomen and draped in cotton. We then use a near-infrared heat lamp over the abdomen to encourage deep penetration and absorption. This treatment can be used to help detoxify organs, help break down scar tissue/adhesions, and reduce inflammation in the areas it is applied to. This service is done as an add-on at the end of your service which allows you to relax and detox in a peaceful environment.

What to expect
Castor Oil packs are added on to lymphatic drainage, therapeutic massage, and FLOWpresso therapy treatments. Here is what to expect in these sessions:
Lymphatic Drainage / Massage + castor oil
After a 60 minute treatment (either face up lymphatic drainage or customized therapeutic massage), your abdomen will be exposed and your therapist will apply organic castor oil (from a tinted glass bottle) onto your skin (either digestive, reproductive, or liver focused). Then an organic cotton will be placed over the oil to promote absorption. Lastly, a warming near infrared light will be placed above your abdomen, and you will be left in the room to relax on your own for 30 minutes. After your treatment is complete, a hot towel will be used to clean off the oil completely.
Flowpresso + castor oil
The FLOWpresso therapy device is greatly suited for castor oil treatment since the the suit has it's own infrared heat source. As your therapist is wrapping you up in the suit, you will stay clothed. As the midsection piece of the therapy suit is fitted, we will exposed your abdomen and apply organic castor oil to it. We will use paper towels and towels to ensure none gets on your clothing. Once the oil is applied, we drape organic cotton, a towel, and a food-grade silicone barrier over it before connecting the abdominal piece together. The FLOWpresso compression treatment will run 40 minutes, and will heat up to your customizable preference. When complete, a hot towel will be used to completely clean off all of the castor oil from your skin.
