Let’s talk Castor Oil packs for Fibroid Symptoms…
Hey girl hey,
So many of you have asked me about castor oil packs and what role they’ve played in my fibroid healing journey. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: castor oil packs have absolutely helped me manage period symptoms, especially the heavy, drawn-out kind so many of us deal with. But! I think that there is a big misconception on how they work and what they actually can do for us Fibroid Girlies…
If you’ve been following me on YouTube, you already know I’m big on educating y’all about the liver and how it affects hormone and fibroid health — mostly from a nutrition and supplement lens. But today, we’re going deeper into how castor oil packs can support our healing journey.
I want to guide you through exactly what they are, how they work, and why they could be a game-changer for you — especially if you’ve been struggling with heavy bleeding and prolonged periods. Let’s get into it!
Why Heavy Periods Might Mean Your Liver Needs Love
Let’s start with something we don’t talk about enough: your liver and your periods are connected.
Heavy, prolonged periods are a common fibroid symptom. But what many women don’t know is that these symptoms can be a sign that your liver is overwhelmed. The liver is one of your main detox organs. It helps process hormones — especially estrogen. And excess estrogen is often one of the root causes of fibroid growth!
So when your liver isn’t functioning optimally, that estrogen can build up in the body and worsen your symptoms. This is where castor oil packs come in!
What Is a Castor Oil Pack?
A castor oil pack is a cloth soaked in high-quality castor oil, placed over your liver (upper right side of your abdomen), and traditionally used with heat to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification.
But here’s the thing: the brand I personally use, Queen of the Thrones, makes it super easy and way less messy than the old-school method. Their pack uses organic natural materials that warm up on their own — so you don’t even need to add heat. Just apply a tablespoon of castor oil to the inside, tie it around your liver area, and you’re good to go.
Bonus? Their pack is large enough to also cover your uterus. So not only are you supporting detox, but you’re also giving your womb a little extra love too.
I can’t vouch for other brands and I don’t play around when it comes to this technique as the wrong materials and oil can cause more damage. So be wise when selecting!
How It Supports Fibroid Symptoms
Supporting your liver is one of the most important pieces of the fibroid healing puzzle. When done consistently, castor oil packs may help:
Reduce bloating and inflammation
Improve elimination of excess estrogen
Promote hormone balance
Ease period discomfort over time
But listen, sis — don’t expect magic overnight! Like any holistic practice, this works best when it’s part of a consistent routine and combined with diet, lifestyle, and emotional support.
How to Safely Use Castor Oil Packs
Important guidelines before you start:
Do NOT use during your period! Castor oil increases circulation and could make bleeding heavier if used while actively menstruating.
Ease in slowly. This is a form of detox — start slow to avoid overwhelming your system.
Use only high-quality materials. Your pack should be organic cotton and your castor oil should be organic and hexane free and come in a glass amber bottle (not plastic!).
My personal routine:
Add 1 tbsp of castor oil to the inside of your pack
Wrap it around your liver area (upper right side of abdomen)
Start with 30 minutes every other day for 2 weeks
Then work your way up to 1 hour every day
Once you see improvements, you can scale back to 2–3 times a week or even leave it on overnight
Don’t wash the pack — replace it every 2–3 months as it begins to absorb toxins.
Don’t Forget: Food + Supplements Matter Too
Castor oil packs are powerful, but they’re not a magic fix on their own! Supporting your liver also means:
Drinking enough water
Eating fiber-rich foods (leafy greens, beets, flaxseed)
Limiting inflammatory triggers (refined sugar, alcohol, processed food)
Using high-quality supplements
Supporting your stress levels and emotions
Personally, I use My Happy Flo as part of my hormone-support routine, and it’s been such a game-changer for regulating my cycle and reducing estrogen dominance.
Final Thoughts
If you’re managing fibroids and struggling with heavy, long periods — please know you’re not alone, and there are tools to support you!
Castor oil packs are gentle, affordable, and deeply nourishing when used consistently and correctly. If you’ve been curious about how to add them to your healing routine, I hope this gives you the confidence to try.
