I have been using the castor oil packs for the parasite problem at night, and it really does help alot! I know they have been an important part of getting all the parasites killed that I have. Plus, the castor oil packs really do help when there are sore spots in the abdomen from the parasites.

My question is about leaving them on all night. Is that ok to do? I put a castor oil pack on when I go to bed, and cover it with a towel, and go to sleep with it on. Can you overdo the castor oil packs and desensitize things? Just wondering.

One other thing I started doing just a few weeks back, was taking a small "sip" of the castor oil I have by my bed for the packs...it definelty worked to kill parasites. I don't take enough to have to stay by the toilet, I just take a small "sip" of it, at bedtime and a couple of times during the day.

I don't remember where I read it, but I also read where you can put slices of fresh ginger root under the castor oil pack- is it ok to put ginger directly on your skin with the pack over it like that?

It's surprising how effective something so economical can be- it works!
