Castor oil has been used as a natural remedy throughout history. One of its therapeutic functions is in healing your lymph disorders.


The lymph, which is your body’s internal excretory mechanism that detoxifies and gets rid of your metabolic waste, can sometimes have flow disruptions and drainage problems. Through topical application, however, castor oil provides an easy way to treat disorders in your lymphatic system.

This oil from castor bean seeds is made up of almost 90% ricinoleic acid, which is said to be responsible for its organic healing properties, including its ability to treat the lymphatic system.

Castor Oil Supports Your Lymphatic Circulation

The lymph system is the way through which every individual cell in the body eliminates waste. It can sometimes be clogged with substances, which are the result of cellular metabolism. The lymph nodes may also be enlarged or swollen in other situations. Any kind of lymph drainage problem may cause complications to your organs if not treated.

Using castor oil externally is a painless and organic way to restore your lymph’s optimal function. Castor oil helps improve the flow and movement of your lymph fluid through the vessels. It increases the activity of the lymph so that the body can get rid of fats and other wastes more rapidly.

How Is Castor Oil Lymph Treatment Done?

Castor oil therapy for your lymph is by means of a castor oil pack, which is placed over lymph glands (near the upper back and neck, shoulders, and groin), abdomen, liver, kidneys, between the upper portion of the rib cage and the upper side of the hipbone. Castor oil packs allow the oil to be more quickly absorbed into the body through the skin and to deliver its healing properties straight into the body’s tissues.

Castor oil packs are usually made by soaking a piece of flannel in top quality, cold-pressed castor oil. They are placed over an affected organ or area of the body while a hot water bottle or any heat source is put on top of them.

Benefits of Castor Oil Therapy to Your Lymph System

Dr. David Williams, an alternative health practitioner, says that once castor oil goes through the skin from the packs, it delivers the following effects:

  1. Increases the blood’s lymphocyte count as a result of the oil’s positive effect on the lymphatic tissue or the thymus glands
  2. Enhances lymph flow all through the body
  3. Accelerates toxin removal around the cells
  4. Decreases the size of swollen lymph nodes
  5. Improves the overall health and function of all organs
  6. Reduces your fatigue and depression

With all these benefits for your health, castor oil cure for your lymph is truly one method you might want to consider. It does not only provide treatment for your lymph system but it also helps remove your body’s metabolic wastes. And most importantly, it supports your entire body to function at its best.

    I am English & live in Thailand I have read about the uses for castor oil in the past & have just come across it again recently.
    We returned to UK & I tried to purchase some from the chemist I asked at three – they all gave me the same answer we don’t stock it it’s an old remedy. I think they mean for a laxative & don’t realize it has other uses. So where is it possible to buy this product? I asked in Thailand before we went to UK & they hadn’t heard of it.

    Check your local health food store for cold-pressed castor oil. If you can’t find it there or they can’t order it for you, then it can be ordered through the mail from Heritage Store, P.O. Box 444, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23458. They can also be reached by calling 1(800)862-2923.

    I am planning to try castor oil therapy per the recommendation of my natural doc. I am curious, though, if I can use it in conjunction with steaming. I try to steam several times a week and would like to use castor oil therapy in conjunction with it. And in this case would I be able to forego the pack and just use the oil directly on the skin?
