Welcome to another edition of What’s the Tea with Dr. G? where we spill the ancient secrets and modern marvels of holistic wellness. Today, we’re diving into one of my favorite home rituals to recommend to patients: castor oil packs. This soothing practice is a beautiful way to ground your body, support your organs, and signal to your system that it’s safe to rest and restore. I often recommend it as a simple, nurturing habit to complement your in-clinic care.

Why Castor Oil?

Castor oil, derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s best known for its anti-inflammatory, lymphatic-stimulating, and detoxifying properties.

When applied topically (especially over the liver area), castor oil can help:

• Reduce bloating and support digestion

• Soothe menstrual cramps

• Promote liver detoxification

• Boost lymphatic circulation

• Calm the nervous system

Introducing the Moon Rabbit Castor Oil Pack Kit

We created the Moon Rabbit Castor Oil Pack Kit to make this age-old ritual easy, clean, and effective. Each kit includes:

• Organic, hexane-free castor oil

• A super-soft, reusable flannel wrap

• A simple how-to guide to get you started

No mess, no fuss—just a cozy, feel-good wellness ritual you can do in 30 minutes or less.

Dr. G’s Pro Tip

"Use your castor oil pack while winding down in the evening. Pair it with legs up the wall, your favorite herbal tea, or a calming playlist. It’s a favorite among our staff and has been so beneficial for many of our patients."
