When your hormones feel out of balance, it’s not just your cycle that suffers — it’s your energy, your emotions, your skin, your digestion, even your sleep. It’s like your body is speaking in signals you can’t quite decode. You feel off — bloated, anxious, fatigued — but can’t always pinpoint why.
At Brit Finds, we believe your body already knows how to heal — it just needs the right tools to reconnect and restore balance. Our Castor Oil Wrap Kit is one of those tools. With ancient roots and modern relevance, castor oil wraps help support the lymphatic system, improve circulation, and nurture the body’s natural hormone detox pathways. It’s not a quick fix — it’s a gentle invitation back to alignment.
What You'll Need:
1. Brit Finds Castor Oil (100 ml or 200 ml)
2. Brit Finds Castor Oil Wrap Kit
3. Hot and cold packs
Optional: A hot pad (for cramps, bloating, or tension)
Optional: A cold pack (for inflammation, swelling, or sharp pain — less common in hormonal issues)
4. 30–60 minutes of quiet time
Step-by-Step Ritual for Hormonal Imbalance
Step 1: Prep the Wrap
Lay out your Brit Finds Castor Oil Wrap. Pour a small amount of castor oil into the center and allow it to absorb. You only need a thin layer to cover the wrap.
Step 2: Apply to Lower Abdomen
Place the oil-infused wrap over your lower belly — just below your belly button. This area targets reproductive organs and the digestive system, both key players in hormonal balance.
Step 3: Choose the Right Temperature Support
If you’re experiencing period cramps, bloating, or tension:
Use a warm heat pad or hot water bottle on top of the wrap. Heat relaxes muscles, improves circulation, and enhances the castor oil’s absorption.
If you feel inflammation, swelling, or sharp/stabbing pain:
Use a cold pack instead. Cold helps reduce inflammation and numbs pain. This is less common for hormonal pain but useful if pain feels hot or sharp.
🌡️ Listen to your body: Most people with hormonal issues benefit more from heat therapy.
Step 4: Rest and Restore
Lie down comfortably and relax for 30–60 minutes. Let the warmth (or cooling, if used) and the castor oil work together to support lymphatic flow, ease discomfort, and help your body rebalance.
Step 5: Remove and Clean
Take off the wrap and store it for reuse. Wipe away any excess oil gently. Your skin should feel calm and moisturized. Repeat 3–4 times a week, especially during the second half of your cycle (luteal phase).
Extra Tips for Hormone Balance
✅ Use at night: Doing your castor oil wrap in the evening can help calm the nervous system and support restful sleep, which is essential for hormone repair.
✅ Pair with liver support: Your liver helps process excess hormones. Add bitter greens (like dandelion or rocket) to your diet and stay hydrated.
✅ Track your cycle: Noting how your body feels during different phases of your menstrual cycle can help you understand when to apply your wrap for the most benefit — typically during the luteal phase (days 15–28).
✅ Reduce toxin load: Avoid synthetic fragrances, plastic food containers, and processed foods where possible — these can disrupt hormone balance.
✅ Stay consistent: Castor oil wraps work best when used regularly. Think of them as a slow, steady support system for your endocrine health.
⚠️ Gentle Precautions for Hormonal Support
- Do not use during menstruation or pregnancy: Castor oil wraps may increase circulation and should be avoided during your period or while pregnant.
- Always patch test: Especially if you have sensitive skin, apply a small amount of castor oil to your arm and wait 24 hours before full use.
- Store your wrap properly: Keep your wrap in a sealed bag and reuse up to 30 times. Do not wash with soap and water — simply reapply fresh oil before each use.
- Consult your doctor if symptoms persist: If you experience persistent fatigue, acne, cycle irregularity, or pain, speak with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions.
🌿 Lifestyle Support Tips for Hormone Health
- Balance your blood sugar: Stable energy = stable hormones. Eat protein, fiber, and healthy fats at every meal.
- Reduce caffeine and alcohol: These can overstimulate your adrenals and interfere with hormone production. Try herbal teas or warm lemon water instead.
- Get sunlight daily: Natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythm and improves melatonin and cortisol balance.
- Sleep is sacred: Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep in a dark room to allow hormone repair overnight.
- Move gently but regularly: Try walking, yoga, or stretching. Intense workouts can stress already imbalanced hormones.
- Support your gut: Your gut is where many hormones are activated or cleared. Include prebiotic and probiotic-rich foods like kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, or fiber-rich fruits and veggies.
