Let’s talk Castor Oil, baby. One of those humble, sticky potions from nature’s cabinet that turns out to be liquid gold for us quantum-sensitive folk. When I say it’s been a game-changer, I mean it’s become one of my go-to tools to help me move stuck energy—especially around my chest, sternum, and solar plexus. You know, that area where old emotions love to pitch a tent, roast marshmallows, and settle in for the long haul. Unless lovingly nudged, they’re not going anywhere. And that’s where this oil comes in. A gentle but powerful ally—especially in between my Shiatsu treatments, when my body’s whispering “help” but my calendar is giving me a side-eye.
I use the one from Fushi, a brand that’s quietly earned my trust over time. They’re all about fresh-pressed, organic, and ethically sourced ingredients. No fluff, no hype, just clean intentions and products that hum at the right frequency. I actually met them first through their Shatavari powder, which has become my go-to when I want to settle into my yin energy. I make a little latte with it—comforting, nurturing, and a total womb-hug in a mug. It’s helped me with menstrual cramps, but also with the emotional side of hormone shifts—like when I’ve been way too fire-signy for my own good.
But back to the oil. I rarely use it solo—I love a good blend. My current potion? Castor Oil + Avocado Oil. The Castor gets in deep, and the Avocado brings glide and nourishment. Sometimes I’ll add essential oils depending on what I need: Lavender when I need soothing, Peppermint for clarity and cooling, and Eucalyptus for that spa-like, energetic whoosh. And occasionally I get extra witchy and use all three—because my body gets to lead.
Once I’ve massaged this into my body—especially the chest and womb space—I often step into the shower. Not to scrub it all away, but to let the water help release any lingering frequencies and seal in the shift. It’s like a mini-treatment, guided by intuition, intention, and a bottle of botanical magic.
Why I Chose Fushi Castor Oil
This wasn’t just a random grab from a shelf. I wanted an oil that was clean, organic, and therapeutic-grade—because if I’m putting something on my skin, lashes, womb space, and even my heart center, it has to be high-frequency. Fushi checked every box:
- Cold-pressed
- Hexane-free
- Stored in dark glass to protect the potency
- And most importantly: from a brand that aligns with slow, conscious wellness
Could I have gone cheaper? Sure. But for something this sacred, quality isn’t a luxury—it’s a boundary.
My Rituals: How I Use It
1. Belly Massage
This is my favorite evening ritual right now. Castor oil is known to stimulate the lymphatic system, support digestion, and help the body detox. But beyond the physical, this massage helps me process grief and trauma stored in the lower chakras. It’s emotional alchemy through the medium of oil and intention. Gentle circles, deep breaths, and suddenly I feel like I’m releasing the day from the inside out.
2. Boob Massage (Yes, Really)
One of the most heart-opening things I’ve added to my routine. Soft, intentional massage across the chest not only supports lymphatic flow, but also reconnects me to my own heart in the most loving, non-performative way. Especially during moments of grief, overwhelm, or hormonal chaos, this is like showing my chest—and everything it carries—some hands-on compassion.
3. Lash + Brow Love
I pour the oil into a clean, empty mascara tube and apply it gently to the ends of my lashes. (Keyword: gently. I learned that greasy lesson early on.) My lashes and brows are slowly but surely looking fuller and more defined, and I love that it feels like a ritual, not a chore. Bonus: it’s like a secret serum made by nature.
4. Cuticle & Hand Rejuvenation
I did this absentmindedly one night and woke up shocked. My cuticles looked polished, my hands were soft, and even my heels felt spa-ready. This oil doesn’t just sit on the skin—it nourishes deep. Now it’s part of my nighttime wind-down. No sticky residue, just pure, glowy softness.
5. As a nourishing night oil for my face (new discovery!)
Recently, I’ve started using my own castor oil face blend before bed, and I’m honestly amazed. I mix castor oil with cold-pressed jojoba oil and a few drops of vitamin E oil to soften the texture and make it massage-friendly. The result? A skin-calming cocoon. My face felt deeply nourished the next morning—soft, even, and notably less red. And no, I don’t have rosacea, but I do notice tone changes in my skin depending on inflammation or irritation. This blend seems to lock in the power of my favorite Korean skincare serums (like my COSRX 6-Peptide and Madagascar Centella Ampoule), making my whole routine work harder while I sleep. It’s like skincare synergy in a bottle.
💡 Tip: Ideally, you want to mix this in a dark glass bottle to preserve the oils. I didn’t have one lying around (I need to restock my apothecary shelf!), but since my bathroom is dark AF with zero windows, I went for it anyway. Just shake before use and enjoy your new bedtime ritual.
Why It Feels So Healing
The magic of Castor Oil is that it meets me where I am. Whether I need to feel more grounded, detox something emotional, or just give my skin a little glow-up—it adapts. It’s more than a product. It’s a ritual. It reminds me that healing can be sensual, simple, and sacred all at once. That tending to your body is not a to-do list item—it’s a frequency shift.
