Castor oil packs have been used for centuries to treat a variety of health problems, including many gynecological concerns. Treatment with castor oil packs increases blood flow to the reproductive organs, giving the body an opportunity to detoxify and focus on healing. Many women have used castor oil packs to treat painful periods, heavy bleeding, ovarian cysts and infertility.
When used during menstruation, castor oil packs have been known to increase cramping and cause heavier bleeding. Little information supports castor oil packs alone as a cure for heavy menstrual bleeding.
While it's doubtful that castor oil packs alone can fully cure heavy periods, the health benefits they provide may give some relief by improving the health of the ovaries and uterus. Castor oil packs can be applied throughout the month, but they should be avoided during menstruation if they cause excessive cramping or bleeding.
