How to do a castor oil pack on liver?

My cousin mentioned that castor oil packs can be good for liver health. I'm interested in trying it out for general wellness. Could someone please explain how to do a castor oil pack on the liver properly, step by step?

You can find pre-made organic castor oil wraps on wellness apps that are less messy than traditional cloths. Just secure the pack over your liver area on the upper right side of your torso. Track your body temperature and heart rate with your smartwatch to ensure you stay relaxed during the therapy.

According to my doctor, while castor oil packs can promote local circulation and relaxation, they should not be used over the liver if you have acute gallbladder issues or are pregnant. To do it, soak a clean flannel cloth in organic castor oil, place it on the right side of your abdomen under your rib cage, cover it with plastic wrap, and apply a warm heating pad for forty-five minutes.

I tried this pack to detox my system after a heavy wedding food binge! Just wrap a oil-soaked cotton cloth on your right side under the ribs, put some plastic sheet over it so your clothes don't get ruined, and rest with a hot water bottle. It is actually quite soothing after a heavy meal week.

Castor oil packs are a traditional home relaxation technique, but they should not replace proper medical care. To try it, gently place a warm, oil-dampened cloth on your upper right abdomen for half an hour. It is always wise to consult your physician first to ensure it is safe for your digestive health.

Be careful when using heat over your stomach, make sure the heating pad is not too hot to avoid skin burns. Lie down comfortably on an old towel so the oil doesn't spill on your bed. Take deep breaths and rest quietly while you do this.

In our old days, we used castor oil packs to relieve deep abdominal wind and swelling. Use pure cold-pressed oil on a cotton cloth and place it gently over your liver side with warm heat. However, if you have severe stomach pain, please do not use heat and consult a doctor.

I want to try a castor oil pack for my sluggish digestion, but I am worried if the heat or oil might cause stomach cramps or nausea. Has anyone else felt any weird symptoms or discomfort while doing this over their liver area?
