Description of a Typical Abdominal Therapy Session with a Castor Oil Pack 

A warm herb-infused castor oil pack is applied over the abdomen and covered with a heated compress. It will be allowed to work for about 30-40 minutes while you receive the rest of your full body session.  When the flannel pack is removed, the remaining oil is used to complete your Mayan abdominal & visceral mobilization massage. Any excess oil remaining on the belly can be removed with a warm steamed towel.

The flannel castor oil pack can be used many more times after the initial treatment, for as long as it still smells fresh. You can take it with you to use at home, or leave it with me to use again in a future session.
