Castor Oil Packs for Fallopian Tube Health: A Simple Self-Care Ritual to Support Conception

Every woman on the path to motherhood deserves to feel empowered, hopeful, and deeply connected to her body. If you're on a fertility journey, know that there are gentle, loving tools you can use to support your body in powerful ways—starting right at home.

One of those tools is the castor oil pack, a timeless self-care ritual that promotes circulation, detoxification, and pelvic healing. When applied to the lower abdomen for at least 30 minutes every other day, castor oil helps stimulate the cilia—tiny, hair-like structures inside the fallopian tubes that guide the egg toward the uterus. This is especially meaningful for women who have faced inflammation, infections, or adhesions affecting their fallopian tubes.

And here’s something beautiful: just one drop of lemon essential oil on each side of your lower belly before applying your castor oil pack can enhance its cleansing effect. Lemon oil is known to support the lymphatic system and may assist in clearing old stagnation from past infections or adhesions.

Luteal Phase Support: Nourish Your Hope

From day 13 to day 28 of your cycle, also known as the luteal phase, your body is preparing to receive and nurture new life. During this sacred window, you can support your womb space with nourishing oils that calm inflammation and promote hormonal balance.

We recommend gently massaging your lower abdomen with:

Coconut oil – cooling and antimicrobial, it soothes tissues and supports healthy skin.
Avocado oil – loaded with vitamin E and healthy fats that promote circulation and hormonal harmony.
Grass-fed tallow – deeply regenerative and rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, it’s a traditional skin food that supports tissue repair and hormone function.

✨ Think of this as a daily act of devotion to your fertility, bringing warmth and nourishment directly to the space that holds your dreams.

Science supports this ancient wisdom too: a study published in Fertility and Sterility (Chavarro et al., 2007) found that women who consumed more healthy fats—especially monounsaturated fats like those in avocado—had higher natural progesterone levels and more robust luteal phases. And progesterone is key to sustaining early pregnancy and preparing the uterine lining for implantation.

You Are Not Alone—And Your Body Is Capable

Every massage, every oil, every drop you apply with love sends a message to your body:

🌸 “I believe in you.”

🌱 “I trust this process.”

💕 “I’m doing my part to welcome new life.”

You are not just waiting for a miracle—you are co-creating it through your actions, your intention, and your care. These small, sacred steps build momentum. They bring peace, connection, and often, new results.
