I started noticing this on myself: the moment I massage castor oil into my belly button on day 1 of my period, something shifts noticeably. In the days around your period your body naturally produces more prostaglandins, the same compounds behind cramps and they don’t just affect the uterus, they can affect the bowel too. So many people are already more “active” around this time, oil or not. Now add castor oil massage into the mix, often reached for because of the cramps during this time of the month… and you may be combining two things working on the same system at once, not just one. This could be exactly why some people say “it worked instantly” and others say “OMG never again” 💩😅 The cramps and the method might be doing more together than either does alone. Noticed this on yourself? Drop a 💩 below 😂 #castoroil #fy #skincaretips
