Castor Oil Pack - Self Application - Day 5

Nov 4 2019

2132h

This application was different from the others because I applied the castor oil pack without a heat source. I was finding great difficulty with side effects using any heat source. I felt that my pelvic cavity was too inflamed for this treatment using heat. I attempted to keep a pack on overnight without heat. It was difficult while sleeping because I was restless throughout the night. I woke up at around 0230h and felt wide awake for a while. When I woke up I noticed my pack had come undone. I did not feel any change in the way I felt after this pack was administered other than the quality of my skin. My skin was smooth and soft in the morning. I was not bothered with abdominal cramps but I did not feel like my congestion in my pelvis lessened in any way. Maybe with more treatments without heat, I would see the difference. Overall, I felt like these last 5 days were a huge learning experience for me. I foresee myself doing more research on the benefits and risks of castor oil packs on women who have endometriosis and PCOS.
