You have heard of castor oil for hair growth (Hey Peptide for eyebrows) and maybe also to induce labor, but have you heard of castor oil patches while you sleep?
Today we’re going to go over everything you need to know about them and how to do it with Hannah from Macrohabits. You may have seen her before and after customer testimonials on Instagram or maybe you’re one of the thousands who have used his platform for workout, reverse diet, and overall body health coaching. You may have heard him talk about these castor oil patches in his episode on The HIM & HER show Also.
If not, Hannah is an entrepreneur, trainer and founder of Macrohabits. After her own journey of excessive cardio and calorie restriction, Hannah discovered the benefits of eating more and exercising differently to get the results she wanted. As you can see, she achieved them. Hannah will be back on the blog with more on this later.
In today’s article, Hannah tells us how and why she applies a castor oil patch (almost) every night.
WHAT IS A CASTOR OIL PATCH?
This is a way of using a cotton bandage or some type of cloth covered in castor oil and applying it to your skin for a long time, often overnight.
The patch slowly releases the healing properties of castor oil into your body and skin. Castor oil has been used in home remedies for centuries. It is said to help relieve pain, detoxify the liver, decrease inflammation, improve digestion, and promote hair growth.
Let’s find out how beneficial stomach sleeping is and welcome Hannah to the blog.

Discover the nighttime benefits of castor oil patches
Hi, my name is Hannah! I want to start by saying: I am not a doctor. If you have specific questions, I recommend your doctor. This is just my experience which I share by applying castor oil patches regularly at night.
HOW TO APPLY CASTOR OIL PATCH:
I do a castor oil patch every night, except during my period. Believe it or not, castor oil has a very stimulating effect and can make your flow heavier when you’re on your period.
I like the convenience of sticky patches, but they can leave a residue or mark, so I recommend using some sort of oil to remove it, if that bothers you (it doesn’t bother me). So I apply the patch, put my heating pad on it for about 15-30 minutes, then sleep with the patch on and remove it when I wake up.
It is believed that putting the castor oil patch on your belly button means maximum absorption and that it directly affects your body’s “center” for health and energy.
The other way to make a castor oil patch (or packet as some call it) is to soak a piece of flannel or cotton in castor oil (use a bowl), then place it on your abdomen, cover it with plastic wrap, then apply a heating pad. If you go this route, make sure you wear clothes you’re not interested in and lay a towel underneath you. Castor oil is quite thick, so things can get messy.
Like I said, I prefer the convenience of patches. So why am I doing this? What are the advantages?
THE BENEFITS OF A CASTOR OIL PATCH:
For my part, I noticed that I don’t have cramps during my period and that my whole cycle is more regulated. Also, I notice:
+ I’m less bloated
+ Have better digestion
+ Feel less water retention
+ Feel less inflammation
+ Helps regulate and balance hormones
+ Reduces joint pain
+ Detoxifies the liver
+ May help with digestion (like constipation)
I have a lot “How to apply” videos on Instagram so check them out to see exactly how to do it. My favorite castor oil patches can be found here. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
