Roots And Leaves | Castor Oil Wrap 100% Organic USA Handmade

ABOUT

Castor oil, derived from the castor bean (Ricinus communis), has been used therapeutically for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, were known to utilize castor oil for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Today, castor oil packs are commonly used to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and aid in detoxification.

WHY CHOOSE A CASTOR OIL WRAP?

The primary reason is NO mess and NO staining! Traditional methods involve soaking a plain piece of cotton flannel in castor oil, placing it on the desired area, and then wrapping yourself in plastic wrap to prevent leaking and staining. This can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. Our wraps eliminate this mess and hassle. 

HOW ARE ROOTS AND LEAVES WRAPS DIFFERENT?

Our mission, standards, and quality set us apart. Many wraps on the market are sourced from overseas, often with questionable materials and high markups. At Roots and Leaves, we prioritize quality, organic materials, fair pricing, and sourcing from the USA. Our wraps are hand-sewn by our team in Aiken, SC, using 100% organic materials. We are committed to providing work-from-home opportunities for stay-at-home moms in our community.

WHAT ARE THE MASKS MADE OF?

• Inner Layer: Soft, hypoallergenic, 100% organic cotton flannel.
• Outer Layer: Waterproof organic PUL material.
• Straps: Made from stretchy, organic material.

These secure wraps can be worn for an hour or all night without any mess or staining of your clothes and sheets.

WHAT ARE THE DEMENTIONS OF THE WRAP?

Our wraps are the largest on the market at an affordable price.

The cloth wrap measures 10x18 inches, not including the stretchy straps, which can stretch up to 66 inches in diameter.

This makes it suitable for a wide range of body sizes. For smaller frames, wrap the straps around until it fits snugly.

For larger bodies, tie the straps at your comfort level.

HOW TO APPLY

1. Use 1-2 tbsp of organic cold pressed castor oil over the area of your skin you plan to place the wrap (always do a patch test first to make sure you are not sensitive to castor oil). 
2. Place the castor oil wrap on the target area and tie it into place, it's that simple. 

Optionally, you can place a hot water bottle or heating pad over it for warmth.

The heat helps in the absorption of castor oil through the skin and enhances its therapeutic effects. If you don't want to use additional heat, no worries. Our wraps are designed to hold in body heat and apply the same effect. 

DURATION OF THE APPLICATION

A castor oil pack should typically be left on for a minimum of 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your tolerance.

It's advisable to start with shorter durations and gradually increase as your body becomes accustomed to the treatment.

You can work up to wearing it all night long if tolerated. 

CLEANING UP AFTER CASTOR OIL WRAP

After use, remove the pack and cleanse the skin with a mixture of baking soda and water to remove any residual oil. Store the pack in the bag it comes in, and if you keep it in the refrigerator it will last longer. Typically around 3 months if using our wraps nightly. 

To clean the wrap: Never wash in the washing machine because the castor oil will stain everything in there with it, and you would also damage the wrap. If you wear it over night, in the morning, hand wash with water and natural dish soap, then wring it out very well. Take an old towel (that you don't mind staining) and lay the outer layer of the pack against it. Roll the pack up in the tea towel, blotting out the oil until there is a little oily residue left on the outer layer. Hang to dry. 

TIPS

• Always do a patch test to rule out skin sensitivity.
• Avoid using castor oil packs during menstruation and pregnancy.
• Consult with a healthcare provider if you have underlying health conditions.
• Stay hydrated and follow a healthy diet to support the detoxification process.
• Remember, castor oil stains EVERYTHING and will not come out. Do not wash your pack in the washing machine as it will stain everything it comes in contact with.
