“Doctor, what can I do at home to support the work we’re doing here?”
It’s one of the questions I hear most often from patients.
While there isn’t one product that’s right for everyone, there are certain natural wellness practices that I frequently recommend because they can easily become part of a healthy lifestyle. One of those is the use of castor oil packs.
At Next Level Chiropractic & Nutrition in Eatontown, New Jersey, our philosophy has always been simple: help the body function the way it was designed to function. Chiropractic adjustments restore communication between the brain and the body through the nervous system. Proper nutrition gives the body the building blocks it needs to heal. Healthy lifestyle habits support those efforts every day.
Castor oil packs are not a replacement for chiropractic care, but they can be a wonderful complement to an overall wellness plan.
Because quality matters, we’ve chosen to carry Premier Research Labs Premier Organic Castor Oil in our office.
Why Quality Matters
If you’ve ever searched online for castor oil, you’ve probably noticed dozens of brands that all claim to be the best.
The truth is, not all castor oils are created equal.
When I recommend a product to a patient, I want complete confidence in its quality, purity, and manufacturing standards. That’s one of the reasons we selected Premier Research Labs.
Their commitment to quality aligns with the same philosophy we bring to our chiropractic and nutritional care.
Premier Organic Castor Oil is:
- USDA Organic Certified
- Cold Expeller Pressed
- Not Hexane Extracted (Hexane-Free)
- Non-GMO
- Heavy Metal Tested
- Identity Verified
- Scientifically Evaluated
- Tested for Purity and Composition
- Manufactured in an FDA-inspected cGMP facility
- OU Kosher Certified
- Free of artificial colors
- Free of artificial fragrances
- Free of preservatives
- Free of unnecessary fillers
When we recommend a wellness product, we want it to be one we would confidently use ourselves and recommend to our own family.
Why Cold Expeller Pressed and Hexane-Free Matter
One question I occasionally receive is:
“What does ‘hexane-free’ actually mean?”
Some commercial oils are extracted using chemical solvents, including hexane.
Premier Organic Castor Oil is cold expeller pressed and not hexane extracted, meaning the oil is mechanically pressed rather than chemically extracted. This helps preserve the oil’s natural integrity while avoiding solvent-based processing.
When choosing products for our patients, we believe cleaner manufacturing processes matter.
Why OU Kosher Certification Gives Me Even More Confidence
Another reason I appreciate Premier Research Labs is their commitment to OU Kosher Certification.
Many people assume kosher certification is only important for individuals who follow kosher dietary laws. While that’s certainly true, it also represents something else that’s important to me as a healthcare provider, strict manufacturing standards.
The Orthodox Union (OU) certification is one of the most recognized quality certifications in the world. It reflects careful oversight of ingredients, production practices, cleanliness, and quality control.
Even if you don’t keep kosher, knowing a product has met these rigorous standards provides another layer of confidence in its quality.
What Are Castor Oil Packs?
A castor oil pack is simply a piece of cotton flannel saturated with castor oil and placed over a specific area of the body, often with gentle heat.
People have used castor oil packs for generations as part of their wellness routine because they are simple, inexpensive, and relaxing.
While research into castor oil continues, many people find that incorporating castor oil packs into their routine supports overall comfort and well-being.
Potential Benefits of Castor Oil Packs
Although castor oil isn’t intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease, many individuals use it because it may help support the body’s natural healing processes.
Encourage Relaxation
One of the greatest benefits of castor oil packs has nothing to do with the oil itself.
It’s the opportunity to slow down.
Most of us spend our days rushing from one responsibility to another. Setting aside 30 minutes to lie quietly with a warm castor oil pack encourages intentional rest, allowing your body and mind to relax.
Supporting the nervous system isn’t only about what happens during an adjustment, it’s also about creating healthy habits outside the office.
Support Healthy Circulation
Applying gentle warmth with a castor oil pack may encourage healthy local circulation.
Healthy circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout the body and supports normal recovery processes.
Support Muscle Comfort
Many people apply castor oil packs over areas of muscular tension or stiffness.
Combined with chiropractic care, stretching, hydration, and proper movement, castor oil packs may become another helpful tool for supporting muscle comfort between visits.
Support Digestive Wellness
Some patients choose to place castor oil packs over the abdomen as part of their digestive wellness routine.
Many report feeling more comfortable and relaxed after regular use.
(This refers to topical castor oil packs only. Oral use of castor oil should only be done under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.)
Nourish Skin Naturally
Premier Organic Castor Oil contains naturally occurring fatty acids that help moisturize and soften dry skin.
Because it contains no artificial fragrances, preservatives, or fillers, many people also use it as part of their natural skin care routine.
Support Healthy Hair and Scalp
Premier Research Labs also recommends using a few drops in your favorite shampoo to help moisturize dry hair and scalp.
Why Your Chiropractor May Recommend Castor Oil Packs
People often think chiropractic care is simply about relieving neck or back pain.
In reality, chiropractic care is about restoring proper function to the nervous system so your body can communicate more effectively with every organ, muscle, and tissue.
That’s why I encourage patients to view their health from a broader perspective.
Your adjustment may take only a few minutes.
What you do during the other 167 hours of the week matters just as much.
Healthy eating.
Hydration.
Exercise.
Sleep.
Stress management.
And yes, sometimes simple wellness practices like castor oil packs.
These small habits work together to support the body’s natural ability to function and heal.
At Next Level Chiropractic & Nutrition, I may recommend castor oil packs as part of a comprehensive wellness plan that also includes:
- Neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments
- Nutrition Response Testing®
- Whole-food nutritional supplements
- Anti-inflammatory nutrition
- Healthy movement
- Proper hydration
- Restful sleep
- Stress reduction
No single product creates health.
Health is built through consistent daily choices.
How to Use a Castor Oil Pack
Premier Research Labs recommends the following:
- Apply approximately one tablespoon of Premier Organic Castor Oil to two layers of cotton flannel.
- Place the flannel over the desired area.
- Apply gentle dry heat if desired.
- Relax for approximately 30 minutes.
- Discard the flannel after use.
- Repeat several times each week.
Many patients enjoy using their castor oil pack while reading, praying, meditating, listening to relaxing music, or simply taking time away from the demands of the day.
When Should You Avoid Castor Oil Packs?
Castor oil packs are intended for external use only.
They should generally be avoided:
- During pregnancy unless approved by your healthcare provider
- Over broken or irritated skin
- Overactive infections
- Immediately after surgery
- If you have a known allergy to castor oil
If you’re unsure whether castor oil packs are appropriate for your individual health needs, ask Dr. Freedman during your next visit.
