Transdermal application of cold-pressed, hexane-free Ricinus communis oil via layered wool flannel to encourage hepatic circulation, smooth muscle relaxation, and lymphatic drainage.

Verified Public Record: "Castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oil. When you apply a warm castor oil compress over the liver or abdomen, it breaks up congestion, relaxes smooth muscle, and stimulates the movement of the lymphatic system." — Misty Mountain Health Retreat Educational Lectures (Lecture: 'The Simple Alternative Modalities: Water, Salt, and Compresses' (2019))

When applying external poultices, mixing cold-pressed castor oil with activated charcoal draws deep inflammatory congestion out of the pelvic and hepatic zones.
