When your digestion feels sluggish, your belly feels heavy, or your skin starts acting up, it’s often more than just food, it’s your gut and liver asking for support. These two systems are the silent powerhouses of your body. When they’re overloaded or out of sync, it can ripple into everything: fatigue, bloating, dull skin, brain fog, and even mood swings.
Your body wants to feel light, clear, and energized but that starts from within. At Brit Finds, we bring you a natural ritual to support gut health and liver function using our Castor Oil Wrap Kit. Castor oil wraps help activate circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and gently support detox pathways all crucial for digestive harmony and liver health.
What You'll Need:
- Brit Finds Castor Oil (100ml or 200ml)
- Brit Finds Castor Oil Wrap Kit
- Optional: Hot and cold pack (for cramping, bloating, or slow digestion)
- 30–60 minutes of quiet rest
Step-by-Step Ritual for Liver & Gut Support
Step 1: Prepare the Wrap
Place your Brit Finds Castor Oil Wrap on a flat surface. Add 1–2 teaspoons of castor oil directly to the center. Allow it to soak in, no need to saturate.
Step 2: Apply Over the Liver or Abdomen
- Liver support: Place the wrap over the right side of your abdomen, just below the ribcage.
- Gut/Digestive Support: Place the wrap over your lower abdomen or belly area.
This targets key organs like the liver, stomach, intestines, and colon all of which help break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste.
Step 3: Add Gentle Heat (Optional)
- Place a warm heat pad or hot water bottle over the wrap.
Heat enhances oil absorption and improves blood flow, both important for detox and digestion.
Cold packs are not recommended for liver or gut issues, warmth works best for relaxing the digestive tract and stimulating detox.
Step 4: Relax and Recharge
- Lie down comfortably and rest for 30–60 minutes.
Use this time for deep breathing, journaling, or simply doing nothing. Allow your body to realign and reset.
Step 5: Remove & Store the Wrap
After the session, remove the wrap and store it in a reusable bag. Gently wipe away any oil residue. Use 3–5 times per week, especially during times of sluggish digestion, bloating, or fatigue.
Extra Tips for Liver & Gut Health
- Drink warm lemon water every morning: Supports gentle liver detox and digestive fire.
- Add fiber-rich foods: Vegetables, fruits, and flaxseeds help keep your gut moving and support toxin removal.
- Include bitters before meals: Herbs like dandelion, ginger, and artichoke stimulate digestion and bile production.
- Cut back on processed foods: Preservatives, sugar, and alcohol burden your liver and gut. Aim for fresh, whole foods.
- Practice belly breathing: Deep, diaphragmatic breaths help massage internal organs and reduce stress-induced digestive issues.
Gentle Precautions for Liver & Gut Use
- Castor oil wraps may stimulate uterine activity. Do not use it during pregnancy.
- Do not apply over open wounds or broken skin.
- Always patch test castor oil before first use.
- Do not ingest castor oil unless directed by a healthcare provider.
- If symptoms persist including pain, jaundice, or chronic constipation, consult a medical professional.
Lifestyle Support Tips for a Healthier Gut & Liver
- Chew slowly and mindfully: Digestion begins in the mouth.
- Hydrate between meals (not during): This prevents dilution of digestive enzymes.
- Try intermittent fasting: Allow your body a break from constant digestion to focus on repair and detox.
- Sleep on your right side: This can help improve lymph drainage and liver detox while you rest.
- Reduce stress: Chronic stress disrupts digestion and liver detox. Practice yoga, mindfulness, or nature walks daily.
