Hey all I just wanted to share about castor oil packs because they have helped me so much in my recovery and are cheap and easy to do. I heard about them a long time ago but dismissed them as sounding too old fashioned and low tech but I'm so glad that I tried them! They are great for detoxing the liver and supporting immune function as well as reducing inflammation. They are VERY relaxing and help relieve pain. I once had very bad kidney pain from herxing too much after taking some aggressive Lyme formulas and the only thing that helped was castor oil packs on the kidney area. I was amazed at how quickly they helped. You can buy the castor oil at any health food store on Amazon and you can use an old cotton T shirt or buy cotton flannels clothes that are sold specifically for castor oil packs. You can re-use the castor oil soaked cloth many times so it's very inexpensive. I keep mine in a glass jar when I'm not using it. Here is a great link on how to do a castor oil pack:http://wellnessmama.com/35671/castor-oil-packs/
