Using Castor Oil For Ovarian Cyst, Fibroids, Pelvic Inflammation and Scar Tissue
Over the years castor oil has been documented, studied, and is now well-known to help with a variety of health-related issues.
When it comes to women's reproductive and pelvic-floor health, castor oil is used as a natural remedy to prevent the growth of cysts, decrease the size of fibroids, reduce inflammation, endometriosis lesions and pain, and for metabolic balance and hormone regulation.
It is also used for detoxification.
And, the killer is, this all works through TOPICAL application.
Yep, by just rubbing your body, specifically your pelvic-womb area, with our Herbal Castor Oil.
So, in this blog article we will delve deep into the benefits of castor oil for women body's and our womb health.
Where does castor oil come from?
Castor oil is derived from the castor bean, Ricinus communis. Castor is indigenous to the Southeastern Mediterranean Basin, Eastern Africa, India but widespread throughout tropical area.
This oil is a multi-purpose vegetable oil derived from castor beans which also happen to be seeds from the Ricinus communis plant. These seeds contain ricin, a toxic enzyme. However, the heating process that it undergoes deactivates the ricins, making it safe for use.
Castor is rich contains an omega-9 fatty acid known as ricinoleic acid, which is believed to be the reason for castor oils many benefits. This oil has ant-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial benefits.
How does castor oil alleviate cyst, fibroids, inflammation and scar tissue?
Castor oil is extemely effective at treating menstrual cramps, symptoms of ovarian cysts, fibroids, inflammation and other health issues
Estrogen dominance is the main cause of these reproductive imbalances. In our enviroment, it is quite easy to end up with too much estrogen in the body, mainly due to our synthetic-estrogen filled cosmetics like feminine products, lotion, shampoos, fragrances, nail polish, and other plastics.
If your body is unable to perform optimally, and your detox pathways are sluggish, it won't be able to get rid of the excess estrogen like it ought to. This is where our herbal castor oil comes in, along with our cleansing herbs and products.
Functionally, treatment for menstrual cramps, cyst, fibroids, endometriosis, and any pelvic and womb inflammation focus on balancing hormones. For your hormones to be balanced your body must have the ability to circulate and get rid of its toxins. Using castor oil can significantly increase circulation in the body, lowere levels of beta-glucuronidase, support natural detoxification pathways and reduce estrogen dominance.
What are the benefits of castor oil for cyst, fibroids, inflammation and scar tissue?
Castor oil has been found to help with congestion and stagnation in the pelvic floor and womb, increase blood flow and circulation to the uterus and ovaries, soften scar tissues (from laproscopic surgery, cyst and endometriosis lesions), shrink fibroids, and help with pain management.
Castor oil does this by helping the body detoxify naturally through the lymphatic, circulatory and liver systems.
One study which focused on castor oil's benefits on the lymphatic system found an increase in the number of T-cells lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) within women after using castor oil.
Lymphocytes are disease-fighting cells in the immune system. They help eliminate waste and toxins from the body which in turn helps eliminate inflammation. Think of your detox pathways like highways that are congested and backed-up, the white blood cells help move and eliminate the congestion out of your body - through your liver, kidneys, gut and colon.
How does castor oil work?
Castor oil can penertrate your pelvic cavity and can stimulate your body to break up tissue, lesions, fibroids and cyst. As soon as the castor oil gets absorbed into your skin, it helps to:
- Stimulate the nerves in the area it is applied with it's vibratory activity.
- Stimulate bodily function. This aids in the removal of inflammation in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and pelvic floor bowl, allowing these tissues, muscles and organs to function normally.
- Stimules the lymphatic, circulatory and liver systems. This helps with the elimination of estrogen and other waste product. This alongside a healthy diet could work wonders for managing, shrinking and preventing long-term reproductive disease.
