So you’ve probably heard about cleanses, right? When I first heard about cleansing I thought it was just a fad for Hollywood folks like Gwyneth Paltrow. After delving into the bodies’ role in cleansing, I soon realized that cleansing isn’t just about one-off trends and diet plans, it’s actually about our bodies’ ability to naturally eliminate waste.

Cleansing is basically removing the bad stuff to make room for the good stuff!

Although your body is supposed to know how to naturally cleanse, there are a few obstacles that get in the way and can easily become the norm in your day to day life:

  1. You’re so constipated, you could burst.
  2. Your lymphatic system is stuck & it feels like your body is as congested as a stuffy nose.
  3. Your sleep-wake cycle is out of whack.
  4. Stress keeps growing & taking up too much space in your body.

Do any of these sound like you? You’re not alone! Would you love to know how to support your body so you can free yourself from your everyday obstacles and cleanse naturally?

You’re in the right place because there’s 4 easy self-care tips for you to get you started so you can be on your way to waking up like new! Are you ready?

1. Cleanse and detox with Castor Oil Packs through pooping

 Cleanse and detox with Queen of the Thrones Castor Oil Packs through pooping.

Do you wake up feeling constipated and bloated in the morning, making you feel heavy, nauseous and dull? More than just being uncomfortable, being constipated also means that our stools are sitting in the body, adding unwanted pollution to your body.

You see, our #1 cleansing process of the body is through the good ‘ol #2. Yes! Through your bowel movements. It’s one of your bodies’ main ways of getting rid of the junk.

Just like how dogs poop after they eat 2-3 times per day, it makes sense that you should go to the bathroom every day too. What goes in must come out, right?

That’s when the Castor Oil Pack for Liver comes in to save the day. Studies have shown that Castor Oil Pack over the liver helps to relieve constipation1 and improves the smooth muscle function of the digestive tract, so you eliminate all the junk that’s been sitting in your body and start having regular healthy bowel movements.

You see, Castor Oil acts as a natural anti-inflammatory2 and helps your gut to relax. Amazing, right?

2. Unclog your lymphatic system with dry brushing

You see, when your lymphatic system is clogged up like your hair-filled shower drain, you can’t cleanse and then…

  • You feel heavy and dull because your body’s fluids are unbalanced.
  • You have too much bad bacteria, making you feel like you just came off the tilt-o-whirl. Does this sound like you?

Well, the simple self-care ritual of dry brushing is an easy way for you to support your body so you can…

  • Reduce inflammation that’s taking up space in your body.
  • Increase circulation so you can truly reconnect to your body.
  • The best part? You’ll know how to engage your lymphatic system and organs so you can help your body cleanse naturally.

Amazing, right?!

Even better, dry brushing paired with your Castor Oil Pack is kind of like a water hose you need to keep your inflammation fire from coming back because Castor Oil is a powerful anti-inflammatory, making it excellent for reducing core inflammation, pain and discomfort so you can wake up feeling like new.

3. Reset your sleep-wake cycle & cleanse while you sleep

You might be wondering what sleeping has to do with cleansing, right? Well, it has a lot to do with it because you actually cleanse while you’re asleep because that’s when your nervous system is the most calm.

You see, my friend, cleansing naturally happens in deep restorative sleep and is how the body naturally heals. That’s why you sleep when you’re sick, so your body can heal. Makes sense, right?

Now, maybe you can’t even remember the last time you had a truly restful night’s sleep because…

Reset your sleep-wake cycle & cleanse while you sleep with Queen of the Thrones Lymphatic Dry Brush
  • You toss and turn all night like a child somersaulting down a hill.
  • You wake up every few hours like a Pop Tart jumping out of your toaster.
  • You’re so tired in the morning, like you just ran a marathon, is this you?

Can you relate? Well, it sounds like your body isn’t getting enough quality rest to help you cleanse. And a sleep mask can help.

You’re probably thinking: a simple sleep mask, really? Seems too good to be true.

This isn’t any old sleep mask, this is a white circadian Castor Oil Eye Compress. You see, it darkens the night when you’re going to sleep and because it’s white, it lets the night in naturally when it’s time to wake up.

The best part? It balances your natural day and night hormonal cycles and keeps your body in flow while you’re cleansing.

Not sure where you can get an Eye Compress? Well, I’ve got you covered with your new Castor Oil Eye Compress Kit.

Would you love to know how Castor Oil Packs and an Eye Compress can help you sleep better?

4. Stress less with your new self-care cleansing tools

Stress less with your new self-care Queen of the Thrones cleansing tools.

So, how can you cleanse amid stress? The answer is simple: you must practice resting. Stay with me here.

All of your body’s cleansing functions are NATURALLY turned ON in the relaxed state, which makes sense when you think about your 3 new self-care tools. Need a refresher?

  • Your Castor Oil Pack gently relaxes your bowels so you can cleanse through pooping.
  • Your dry brush helps to reduce inflammation and stress in your body.
  • Your Eye Compress resets your sleep-wake cycle so you can have deep restorative sleep and fully relax while you’re asleep.

 

You see, cleansing is about consistently supporting your body so you can have healthy bowel movements, restful sleep, and LESS stress. Sounds good, right?

Get all of these amazing self-care tools in your Castor Oil Lymphatic Dry Brush Kit and save!

Your Guide to Naturally Calming Your Child

Do you remember that magical moment when you discovered the meaning of unconditional, unmeasurable love? I know I do! In this post you’ll discover how to use castor oil packs for kids so you can bring more joy to your bundle of joy!

Do you still remember the first time you held your little one in your arms?…

  • That wonderful smell coming out of their little head
  • Their baby pheromones filling up your brain with love signals
  • Those marvelous blue eyes looking up at you as if you were the most beautiful thing in the world
  • Those little hands reaching out to you and never wanting to let go!

I wish I could bottle up that feeling and keep it in my pocket, you too?

Right then and there, your whole life changes. You transform into a source of abundance, nourishment, and protection. And though your body may still be weak, your soul is as strong as a bear and your willingness to protect your little one knows no limits!

Confidence kicks in and as a first-time mother, of course you know it all. I mean, you read all those parenting books put together by the “experts”, right?

You are ready to ace the test. But then, sooner than you expect, the confidence fades. Endless sleepless nights make you question your skills as a mother and your hopes start to crumble down.

You ask other parents hoping for guidance but you soon learn that when it comes to parenting, most of us are going on a wild goose chase trying to find the magic answer for happy, healthy, and well-behaved children.

Is it normal for your child to have colic?

Queen of the Thrones® Castor oil packs for kids help to improve your child's sleep

When my little one was only a couple of weeks old, he would cry his heart out for hours in the middle of the night. I felt weak, tired, and simply lost! Because I knew something was wrong but I couldn’t figure out what it was. Have you felt this hopeless feeling too?

I could feel the pain through his tears but everyone around would just tell me that “colic” was normal (whatever colic really means).

You have so many questions and no answers! Why was this happening to my son?! Why couldn’t he sleep peacefully like other babies?! Why couldn’t I make him smile like the first time we met?! Why was I failing to protect my little one?! Why, why, why?! Can you relate?

Defeated, I tried to convince myself that “colic” was common therefore it should be normal, but deep inside I knew that the reality was far more complex than that.

I was aware that we live in an environment filled with harmful toxins, artificial noise and light, extreme busyness and stress, and unhealthy meals that pass down to our little ones one way or another.

Can food allergies and sensitivities cause colic for your child?

Firstly, in my son’s case, through trial and error, we learned that the reason for his pain was a severe food allergy to the canned tomatoes used on the delicious and overpriced meatballs that I used to love to get from our local butcher shop and would get passed down to him through my milk. Who would have thought, right?

Obviously, I stopped getting my favorite meatballs and we had peace for a bit. But there was more to it and still today my little one needs more help and attention than other children in order to thrive!

Out of my three kids, he is the one who:

  • Has the most intestinal issues
  • Struggles the most to relax and behave
  • Gets sick the easiest
  • Gets in trouble at school
  • Has trouble sleeping
  • Needs affection the most

Every child is unique and as time and experience kicks in, you learn that a healthy child is a happy child and that a happy child will need less help to thrive.

Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Packs help to heal colic in kids

So what can you do to have a happy and healthy child?

Well, you can get lucky and get one of those wonders that simply thrive through anything, but regardless of how easy or challenging your kid is, there are foundational basics that we sometimes overlook:

 

  • Lots of water
  • Healthy diet with real food – heaps of vegetables, hearty protein and healthy fats
  • Daily exercise
  • Meditation or time for calm and reflection
  • Castor Oil Packs for Kids

And of course… Plenty of love!

In a perfect world, these basics would be the rule. But you know that in our society they are often the exception, agreed? Because we live busy chaotic lives and it often feels like we don’t have the time, energy, or resources to keep our kids safe from our regular day to day discomforts, right?

And this is why it is so important to help our children to cleanse and reset. Especially the ones that are in pain and often get labeled as “difficult children”.

Would you love to help your child cleanse, calm and balance naturally with Queen of the Thrones® Castor Oil Kids Packs?

You’ve probably heard of castor oil packs through health forums or through your healthcare practitioner, right? Or maybe castor oil packs for kids are a new concept for you, but in fact, they have been used for centuries for health in Traditional Chinese medicine, Indian Ayurveda, Ancient Egypt, and modern Naturopathic Medicine.

You can set your child up for a lifetime of good health with this clinically practiced, scientifically supported and time-honored health ritual.

Castor Oil Kids Packs are a nighttime ritual that feels like a comforting warm hug before bedtime. It nourishes your child’s little body and gets them ready for a deep, restful sleep1 2 3. It decreases inflammation4 and supports your little one’s digestion5, bowel movements6, relaxation7, circulation, and cleansing8.

What better way to say, “I love you” than giving your child a great start on health and wellness?

How to Use Castor Oil Packs for Kids

Step 1: Apply castor oil (1-2 tsp) to the soft cotton side of your Queen of the Thrones® Kids Pack

Step 2: Place your pack over your child’s liver (right side of their abdomen) and tie it in place. Have them wear their pack for a minimum of 1 hour before bed.

That’s all. This super easy self-care system takes less than a minute to prep!

Caution: Never allow your child to wear the pack unsupervised. The straps can be a choking hazard.
