Comfort Castor Cozies
Doing Castor Oil packs is frequently a valuable adjunct to doing the Abdominal Massage YAM ( Your Abdominal Massage) routine.
It became apparent that my clients needed the most efficient way to utilize the benefits of doing a Castor Oil pack. Using my skills as a seamstress, I devised a pattern that would make even the most reluctant Castor oil user have the easiest time possible executing this comforting & health-giving gift to ourselves!!
Voila! The Comfort Castor Cozie was born! With an eye to uniqueness, recycling & using appealing fabrics, these Cozies are double stitched on all seams to insure durability.
They are composed of:
- Organic Cotton Flannel for the side where the Castor Oil is applied.
- Recycled Sanitized Wool blankets & sweaters for the insulating factor inside the CCC.
- An attractive outer cotton fabric from myriad choices that covers the insulating wool.
There are many choices for the decorative fabric side. Florals, Japanese prints, Australian Aboriginal prints and I always have “Frida” fabric on hand, a popular choice. We can work together by email for floral color selection, plus there are many novelty fabrics that I continually seek out, usually with a botanical theme.
I now make a size that fits both a hot water bottle AND the type of heating pad size that is regularly found in a drugstore.
Both methods of heating have their advantages.
Using a Hot Water Bottle, you do not have to worry about falling asleep with an electric pad being on your body all night (NOT GOOD!!)
Using an Electric Heating Pad, you can achieve more heat by turning on the pad before you are ready to do the pack, and not have to worry about having very hot water available to fill up your bottle.
Care Instructions sent with each order.
I have found that my clients who have purchased a CCC are more apt to do their packs. Having a dedicated “tool” to do their packs seems to inspire!
Prices start at $30 plus shipping, ones that have been embellished by embroidery or appliqué can cost more.
I recommend using Organic Castor Oil, a good resource being www.mountainroseherbs.com, for the West Coast consumers.
