Prepare The Body for Conception.
If you are planning a conscious conception, you may do a cleanse or detox. This will help you get rid of toxins and prepare your body for pregnancy. In Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine from India, the importance of preparing the body for conception is emphasized. It is believed that cleansing before conception can help improve fertility, ensure a healthy pregnancy, and promote the overall health of the mother and baby.
Before starting a cleanse, it’s important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who you trust. Together, you can create a personalized plan based on your body type (dosha) and individual needs. The practitioner will suggest a time to cleanse based off your menstrual cycle. Before starting the cleanse, it’s important to follow a pre-cleanse diet that will be specific to your dosha for at least a week. The diet will be light and easy to digest, comprising of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean proteins. During this time it is best to avoid processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, and sugar.
After a week of the cleansing diet, you will cleanse the digestive system. This can be done through a process called panchakarma, which involves five steps: fasting, oil massage, herbal steam, purging, and enemas. Panchakarma is done under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner.
Then you will nourish the body with nutrient-dense foods. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Ayurveda also recommends consuming ghee (clarified butter) to help nourish the body and improve fertility.
During this time, it’s important to practice self-care. This can include yoga, meditation, breathwork, and other relaxation techniques. Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, and avoid stress. These are all very important for preparing the body for conception.Preparing the body for conception through Ayurvedic cleansing can be a powerful way to promote fertility, ensure a healthy pregnancy, and promote overall health. Work with an Ayurvedic practitioner to create a personalized plan based on your individual needs and body type.
To support the body’s natural detoxification processes use a castor oil pack. It is a simple but effective way to detox. A castor oil pack is one of the OLDEST, most widespread healing rituals in the world and the best kept secret known only to a privileged few.
How to Use
To use a castor oil pack, you will apply a cloth soaked in castor oil to the skin over the liver, gallbladder, or abdomen. It is the ritual of applying castor oil to a piece of organic cotton flannel then placing it onto the body (traditionally over the liver) and wearing it for 1 hour or more for physical and spiritual wellbeing. The 2-step, heatless, less-mess Castor Oil Liver Pack Kit makes this transformational self-care ritual easier than ever before so you can wake up like new every day!
Preconception
When you’re trying to conceive, it’s best to wear your castor oil pack every night from day 1 of your menstrual cycle up to ovulation (usually on day 14 if you’re on a 28 day cycle - this is known as the follicular phase… or if you have had sex close to the day 12-15 mark, stop right after that!) then stop wearing it for the luteal phase. As soon as you bleed again, you can start back up with doing your castor oil liver pack every night. Have you heard of midwives giving women castor oil to drink in late stage pregnancy to induce labour? This is because castor oil is a stimulant laxative when taken orally and it’s thought to stimulate uterine contractions. For this reason, castor oil packs should NOT be used during pregnancy, just to be safe!
Benefits of using a castor oil pack
Improves digestion
Castor oil has been used for centuries as a natural laxative, and it can also help improve digestion. Applying a castor oil pack over the abdomen can help stimulate the digestive system, promoting better nutrient absorption and waste elimination. This will help to regulate the gut’s microbiome, which will alleviate constipation, diarrhea, bloating, indigestion, IBS, colitis, and Crohn’s disease.
Supports liver function
The liver is one of the body’s main detoxification organs, and a castor oil pack can help support its function. The pack helps increase circulation to the liver, allowing it to process toxins more efficiently. This can help reduce the burden on the liver and improve overall liver function.
Reduces inflammation
Castor oil has anti-inflammatory properties, and applying a pack can help reduce inflammation in the body. This is important because inflammation is a key contributor to many chronic health conditions, including arthritis, heart disease, and cancer.
Stress Reduction
Castor oil helps the body to purge and naturally come into balance. This will help reduce stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD. When you are less stressed, your mind, body and soul will be optimized and working together. You will sleep better and may see insomnia or other sleep problems disappear.
Relieves pain
Castor oil packs can help relieve pain by reducing inflammation and increasing circulation. This makes them a popular natural remedy for menstrual cramps, joint pain, and other types of pain.
Boosts immune function
Castor oil packs can also help boost the immune system by supporting the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body, and by increasing circulation to this system, a castor oil pack can help improve immune function.
Using a castor oil pack for detoxing can have many benefits for your health and well-being. It’s a natural, affordable, and effective way to support your body’s natural detoxification processes and promote overall health. If you’re interested in trying a castor oil pack, be sure to do your research and follow proper instructions to ensure safety and effectiveness.
