They help to soften adhesions and allow new skin cells to regenerate. Castor has been used for centuries in traditional medicine as it improves the flow of lymph in the body. Lymph is responsible for removing pathogens and waste products from the body. Your body\u2019s immune system is activated which leads to healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ideally you want to wait 6 weeks after a caesarean surgery and to make sure the scar is fully healed before starting castor oil packs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Note: If you\u2019re breastfeeding, watch your baby carefully to check your castor oil packs don\u2019t affect his\/her bowel movements.
