I have been receiving private emails asking about the castor oil packets, so
I decided to cut and paste.
This was submitted by Kathy Leeper MD. IBCLC.  I found it in the archives by
putting
"castor oil" in the search box and putting 2006 in the date.  (I want
updated material as much as possible, and
discovered that if I don't put in 2006 or 2005, I will get stuff dated back
to 94)  I'm writing all this as
it seems many are not quite sure how to search the archives.
Oh! And as a side note, I have since learned that many massage therapist use
castor oil as it removes impurities.

- as per the archives:
"I do not know why castor oil works, or how...it just often does.  A mom
will
call in with a plug, say she has been using heat before and massage while
expressing, but if she adds a castor oil moist pack it often does the trick
within 12 hours.

Directions:  Apply castor oil to a warm, moist washcloth folded to size to
cover area involved.  place something plastic (like saran wrap) and a
heating pad on low over that....let sit about 20 mins before nursing or
pumping.  Then nurse or pump while massaging area.  Repeat every 2-3
hours before feeds."
