I hope you don't mind, is this regular castor oil? Do you just work it in with your fingers or is there a pad? How "old" is your scar? I am not ashamed of my scar but I sure would love to minimize it.
Thanks in advance!
The castor oil is just plain castor oil that you can get at a health food store. They sell the flannel for the packs, and it's typically right next to the castor oil. You soak a piece of the flannel (I cut the flannel in the package in half) in the oil, then apply it to your abdomen. You can cover it with plastic and a towel and put heat on it for an hour. You can store the flannel in a Ziplock in the refrigerator and reuse it until it becomes discolored. Using these every day or two for two weeks dissolved adhesions I was having trouble with and my scar went from red to flesh tone. The packs will also pull toxins from your liver.
My scar is 4 years old, as of next week. But it started looking like this a couple of years ago when I started using the packs.
