Pediatric Castor Oil Massage for Constipation

Castor oil comes from the castor bean. It is a medicinal plant that helps rid toxins from the body. 

For constipation, it is applied externally on the abdomen and massaging the belly in a clockwise motion. 

Directions:

  • Have your child in clothes that you don't mind getting messy. This is preferably done before bed so they can sleep with the oil through the night.

  • Have your child lie down.

  • Apply 2 TBSP of castor oil on your hands to warm them.

  • Massage your child’s abdomen clockwise from right hip bone -> right rib cage -> left rib cage, then down to left hip bone -> right hip bone. Continue 5-10 rounds. 

*An added step you can try is a warm pack for 20mins to increase the absorption of the castor oil.

Recommended castor oil: Heritage Organic Castor Oil
