Anyone use them? I just tried my first and did it for a half hour. It went okay but don't know if it did anything. My doc recommended it for my shoddy liver. She said not to do coffee enemas every day but I can do this every day. I am trying to fix my liver (obviously) so I am also taking something called Liver GI Detox by Pure Encapsulations, if anyone has any other suggestions.

Here's a couple previous threads on them:

Yeah I read the previous threads but they don't go into the liver much.

I've used topical castor oil but not the actual packs. It's been a good while. I got sick from it at least one time. Another day it gave me a couple of good days. I had bloodwork done the day I got sick from it and my AST and ALT were elevated. That's the only time they were out of range. I asked the doctor if the castor oil caused it, and she said it shouldn't have. I think it was the castor oil.

I haven't used it in a long time. I do take milk thistle every day, though.

My understanding on castor oil was that it was great for lymphatic system, oil on lower abs way below belly button and apply heat for a bit.

I tried oil packs a few times and didn't have any noticeable results. I'm not patient enough to go through the trouble and not have results. I've resorted to rubbing some on the bottom of my feet before bed and then putting on some socks. It actually helps with insomnia a little bit.

I have heard it helps lymph too, maybe that's more what it does. I don't think it's hurting. I'll just keep doing it I guess since I already have all the materials but it is tedious. I really don't understand the mechanism by which it clears the liver.
