  • Wellness influencers on social media highlight the benefits of castor oil packs, including liver detoxification, skin improvement, and menstrual cramp

The article from Times of India discusses the growing trend on social media of using castor oil packs on the stomach, touted for various health benefits.

The trend involves applying castor oil-soaked cloths to the abdomen, often covered with plastic wrap and a heating pad, with claims of aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and detoxifying the body.

The article advises consulting healthcare professionals before adopting such trends, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based medicine over social media hype.
