One day, while doing a water fast to support my body's natural detoxification process, I experienced an unexpected discomfort—sharp pain in my liver area. Concerned but determined to continue my fast, I sought advice and was introduced to the idea of using a castor oil pack. As I researched further, I was fascinated to learn that Edgar Cayce, the renowned holistic healer, had long recommended castor oil packs for liver health, detoxification, and overall well-being. Sceptical but hopeful, I decided to give it a try.
While researching castor oil packs, I was shocked to discover that almost all the ones on the market were made with materials like polyurethane or polypropylene—both of which can contain harmful chemicals. Concerned about what I was putting on my skin, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I set out to design my own castor oil pack, one that would be 100% organic, free of any nasty chemicals or synthetic materials. After months of careful research and testing, I finally created a castor oil pack that was not only effective but safe and natural. It’s something I’m proud to offer, knowing it’s made with the highest quality, chemical-free materials.
It was on one of these mornings that AM Rituals was born—the day I decided to perfect the organic flannel and create the safest, most natural products for others on their healing journey.
I've started using my handmade castor oil pack and the results were nothing short of astonishing. The pain subsided, and I felt a deep sense of relief and relaxation. But what truly blew my mind was what happened when I began using castor oil packs regularly—not just on my liver, but also on my abdominal area and thyroid. Over time, I noticed profound benefits for my digestion, liver function, mental health, skin condition, and hormonal balance. My mind felt clearer, my emotions more stable, and my skin started to glow with newfound vitality.
I followed a specific protocol to maximize the benefits.
From the first day of my menstrual cycle, I used the Thyroid Castor Oil Pack on my thyroid for one hour daily. During the first 14 days of my cycle, I used the standard Castor Oil Pack on my liver for at least two hours. In the second part of my cycle, I continued with the Thyroid Castor Oil Pack for at least one hour and used a standard Castor Oil Pack on my pelvic area for a minimum of two hours, or ideally overnight. During menstruation, I switched back to using the standard Castor Oil Pack on my liver and repeated the cycle.
Wanting to deepen the healing process, I also began incorporating the use of Palo Santo wood and frankincense resin into my routine. Their grounding and purifying properties seemed to enhance the effects of the castor oil packs, creating a powerful synergy that helped me feel more aligned, as if my energy was flowing freely. Even my chakras felt more balanced, and I became more in tune with my body’s natural rhythms. The changes in my body, mind, and spirit were undeniable—this simple yet profound remedy held incredible power, and I was eager to explore its full potential.
These key practices incorporated in my daily routine helped me keep in good health:
Proper Diet
Eating a balanced diet rich in whole foods, fiber, and essential nutrients is key to digestive health. Poor elimination has been proven to be a reason for most diseases, leading to intoxication in the body. Avoiding processed foods, excessive sugar, and artificial additives helped me with preventing inflammation and supported the natural digestive process.
By understanding how the digestive system works and taking simple steps to support it, we can improve not only our digestion but our overall health and energy levels. In the end, the key to a healthy digestive system is not extreme intervention but allowing the body to do what it does best—restore balance naturally.
In addition to this, I included colon cleansing and enemas in my detox routine. Regular colon cleansing helped me remove toxins and waste that could accumulate in the digestive tract, promoting better overall health. Enemas became a helpful way to support the natural elimination process, improving my bowel movements and further enhancing my body’s ability to detoxify. This process not only alleviated bloating and constipation but also provided a deep sense of renewal.
Phytoestrogens Conspiracy
DR Wendy Sellens was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process of unlearning what I had previously been taught about phytoestrogens. By understanding their role I realized that avoiding them was the best choice for my hormonal health. This shift in perspective has been vastly beneficial, helping me restore balance and improve my overall well-being.

Stress Management
Since emotional stress can directly impact digestion, I was practicing relaxation techniques—such as deep breathing, meditation, or gentle exercise, this helped me to keep the nervous system in balance and prevent digestive disruptions.
Staying Hydrated
Water plays a crucial role in digestion, helping to break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste efficiently.
I drink only filtered and structured water.
Supporting Gut Health
I did incorporate probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables that promote a healthy gut microbiome, which plays a vital role in digestion and overall well-being.
Remember, serotonin, often referred to as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, is primarily produced in our gut, not the brain. In fact, about 90-95% of the body's serotonin is created in the gastrointestinal system. This highlights the profound connection between our gut health and mental well-being. A healthy, balanced gut can lead to improved mood, better emotional regulation, and reduced feelings of anxiety and depression. By supporting digestive health through proper diet, stress management, and other healing practices, we can help optimize serotonin production, ultimately enhancing both our physical and mental health.
Exercise
Walking more than 10,000 steps a day, predominantly in the early mornings became a powerful practice for both my physical and mental well-being. It gave me time to clear my mind, connect with my body, and feel a deep sense of peace and accomplishment with every step.
Exercise plays a vital role in supporting digestion by promoting circulation, reducing stress, and encouraging regular bowel movements. Gentle activities like walking and stretching can stimulate the digestive system without putting excessive strain on the body. These exercises help improve gut motility, reduce bloating, and support overall digestive health.
Dry Brushing and Walking on Acupressure Mat
Almost every morning, I start my day by walking on an acupressure mat and doing dry brushing. This simple routine stimulates circulation, supports lymphatic flow, and enhances detoxification, leaving me feeling refreshed and energized.
The Booby Thursdays
Every Thursday, I would apply my breast pad compress to my breasts for at least 2-3 hours as part of my wellness routine. This practice helped prevent microcalcifications and supported breast health. It’s also beneficial for those with a tendency to experience tender breasts or develop cysts, offering a natural way to soothe discomfort and promote balance.
Self Awareness, Music and Podcasts
Listening to your body helps you become more self-aware, reduce stress, and make healthier choices for your overall well-being. Pairing this with music and podcasts enhances relaxation, boosts focus, provides emotional healing, and supports continuous personal growth.
Castor oil packs can be incredibly effective in promoting overall health, but consistency is key. While you may notice some benefits after just a few uses, the real, transformative effects come with regular, long-term use. As with any natural remedy, patience and persistence are essential for allowing the body to fully heal and restore balance. If you're ready to experience the profound benefits of castor oil, I highly recommend using it consistently as part of your wellness routine. For the best results, make sure to choose premium quality castor oil packs. You can find the highest quality options available on my website at www.amrituals.com.
In conclusion, incorporating castor oil packs, bioidentical progesterone cream, avoiding phytoestrogens, listening to my body, and supporting my overall well-being helped me achieve regular periods and reversed symptoms like anxiety, brain fog, night sweats, and PMS. By making these practices a consistent part of my routine, I restored hormonal balance and embraced a newfound sense of vitality and mental clarity.
It made every single day a little easier to get trough.
